According to Libya's deputy Interior Minister it is unclear who's behind the assassination.

This comes as the Director of National Intelligence claims he removed.

In -- said there was no intelligence.

By the United States to suggest that story -- -- So when you drop al-Qaeda and it even substitute the word extremist.

Where is this story coming from that this whole event was spurned by video on YouTube that led to a mob that turned into -- -- The difference between spontaneous.

In pre planned is significant.

The difference between a mob and in militia group -- organized is significant.

The motivation.

That the attack was some motivation because people were upset about.

Video -- the profit that they linked switch we get having to do with vs a group.

Whose agenda is to destroy our way of life the significance of the story line told by the president himself.

Is totally disconnected to the intelligence.

And was a political story -- very helpful to him because -- the truth came out.

They say they you and John McCain are sexist and race the races as well for criticizing.

Ambassador -- Well when you can answer the question you attack the question are the only color I'm worried about one constant in Ghazi is red blood -- The death of four Americans.

And what motivates Senator McCain and myself is that we were in Libya last September.

We came back and wrote an op Ed piece that if we don't form a national army to replace these militias Libya's gonna break apart.

And the sad story here is not just the four dead Americans which is heartbreaking to Libyan people wanna move for absolutely and this leading from behind about Obama -- we've done nothing to help them.

Build an army to replace the militia senator I know I went to Iraq and said absolutely -- We've simply got to get to the bottom of this because as you said forward.
