Hampshire senator.
In a fairly blistering.
Assessment of the report that came out from the accountability review board.
On what happened in Ben Ghazi and we have a couple of experts here who can talk about.
What these senators had to say just now Judy Miller a Fox News contributor who has made many many trips reporting to that part of the world also Rick and Al who served as.
The spokesman for four US ambassadors to the United Nations.
In particular senator Graham.
Suggested I mean he was asking the question essentially what did the president know and when did he know what there are some.
Real question yet to be asked.
Raised by this report is accountability review board report about what happened in -- guys.
Yeah we were taken notes and I I think actually the headline from me.
Was that Secretary Clinton may have not sat for interviews for this report.
Senator Graham was questioning whether or not she actually was interviewed.
If that's the case John that that's outrageous that we have a sitting secretary of state who said I take responsibility for this.
And she was and interviewed for a thorough report by ambassador Pickering.
This is not a good report that's the case.
But they even beyond that.
-- -- the amazing thing to meet Wednesday the questions that Senator McCain was asking.
About the president's policy about what he knew and about the policy that he has of leading from behind.
Has endangering those people who are serving overseas and taking the risks that ambassador Chris Stevens to attack.
What he's basically saying is Mr.
President you cannot put your hand it -- the sand and pretend.
That things are going well they are not not in Iraq.
Not in Libya not in Yemen not in Somalia where al-Qaeda spreading and we need to look at not just what -- -- -- Ghazi.
But the policy that underlined -- this is a huge indictment.
The administration's middle east policy and I think I have some residents on the hill.
And and -- an indictment of the media coverage because the questions that they raised were very important questions.
I haven't seen a single reporter asks him these questions did the president know about previous cables did -- know about previous attacks was he told about all of this.
We don't know because the reporters are asking these questions CNN.
They're deputy bureau chief in Washington DC is that woman by the name of Virginia mostly she's married to Tom knives.
Who is secretary Clinton's.
Deputy.
Yesterday CNN's coverage of Tom -- had him quoted as saying we can do better that was their coverage.
Now they didn't disclose the fact that Tom Knight to set in for Secretary Clinton is married to the CNN deputy political bureau chief.
That's outrageous there are so many questions yet to be answered and -- and well it.
-- could use some -- -- and I'll try not to do that but clearly.
This thing is taking on.
Some new life here in Washington DC and there are questions yet to be answered we're gonna have so.
