After all the hoopla finally finally they hearings this is forced State Department it is -- lose their post after a scathing report.

Reveals State Department that has now seriously lost his way damning news for Hillary Clinton so.

Where is Hillary Clinton -- David -- -- -- -- because the secretary of state -- says the buck stops with our.

Net we're told Katie next year she testifies next year not avoiding these various committee hearings she's -- canned -- But I air I'm -- her doctors are not gonna get the permission slip to not have to go to these hearings but I think it's worth noting.

That the two times the secretary of state should have spoken out about -- -- The first time was when the UN ambassador went to all of those Sunday talk shows.

And the second time was today.

Both of those times Secretary Clinton has been suffering from the fatigue or heard demanding travel schedule few bright room.

What is yours.

I think it's I think Secretary Clinton is leaving her options open.

But what I what bothers me about the whole thing.

Is -- he's being held accountable for -- Secretary Clinton I take responsibility.

But she doesn't seem to take the blame nobody's taking the blame I don't care whether it's the State Department -- not taking the blame the high officials in the White House or the State Department.

Or frankly.

We have not gone after al-Qaeda we have not part of the -- we have not.

Punish them we're not retaliated and -- this -- next time but what is this telling you.

If you back and look at bin Laden.

In 2000 he did a campaign he did have recruitment video when he said you know 1998.

We bombed the US embassies in East Africa and nobody came at first we -- the USS Cole in 2000 and nobody came after us.

Goal attack America again so -- -- are -- saying al-Qaeda by not hunting them down and punishing them and retaliated against them were saying come to us.

But how much of that can also be worth -- see their view that look.

America's been in Afghanistan Iraq -- and they're just second.

We are sick of it but that doesn't mean I'm not saying and aides recognize I'm saying.

The guy who has claimed responsibility for the Ben -- attacks is sitting -- a luxury hotel.

In Ben -- -- strawberry for rock days we know where he has we also know where the al-Qaeda training -- concern eastern Libya.

Why have we not held anybody responsible because that's a lot of that is what is wouldn't which does -- The risk of not.

Doing it to you town I do not understand why we don't go after them now what -- and it is well the administration has -- they wanted to lighter footprint.

You know and again I think this as a second point which speaks to the whole middle east policy the administration has two years ago that was -- region -- peace.

But now we're looking at a region -- country after country with toppled dictator's we've let.

Things fall as they may we have been trying to let them have us we would have a small footprint.

They couldn't set up their own governments and what has happened two years later the Arab Spring is an Arab winter we are facing a situation a year from now we go from the Atlantic.

All the way to Pakistan with countries which are anti American which are islamists which are economic and political chaos.

That to me is the bigger scandal -- time lines and talking points have been casting -- who lost the Middle East in line.

-- What's going on there right now though I mean is there review and that sentiment being expressed abroad -- our own people and that.

Someone doesn't have their back.

By our own people throughout the region -- if you -- say for example Libya we -- that dictator and man.

We step back we didn't give the Libyan government the new Libyan rebel government.

The tools they need it.

Frankly to set up there on security there are afraid.

I'm going after the al-Qaeda or -- militia groups can you blame us given the whole Egypt but there's a there's a point between your UPS could go and -- samples in my lifetime.

Are Iran and eastern here.

In Iran Jimmy Carter helped topple the Shah of Iran and then stood back and didn't get involved.

To help the new rebel government set itself up as a pro democracy self governing group what happen.

The Ayatollah and the mullahs came in and shoved aside the well meaning.

Democrats and set -- an Islamic state but look -- at the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Reagan administration George Bush 41.

When that happened we -- and people to help with Shannon double entry book keepers -- -- Political experts to show them how to run political parties we send people to say -- how free media works we didn't tell them what to do we just gave them the tools to do it.

As a result.

Iran's greatest -- to world news today.

And then Eastern Europe America's -- -- Syrians.

Casey thank environment here in the -- you know.
