This precise hour tomorrow morning and we expect secretary of state Hillary Clinton to give her first in depth account.

Before congress about the circumstances surrounding the attack.

That killed four Americans in Libya including our ambassador Chris Stevens.

Tennessee senator Republican Bob -- with me a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee you'll be in the room tomorrow will be here watching senator good morning to you.

Good morning -- There's a lot to go through here.

But but I know you have thought about this and thought about it a great life or what what is the critical question that you need to answer.

To be satisfied with what happened there in the -- On September.

A billion dollars in might be right after the attack and was able see the shock on the faces of people who we have there and Libya and the fact that they felt like they were on a tether.

While they were there are not supported adequately and certainly.

This'll probably the last time Secretary Clinton testifies before the US senate with -- confirmation coming right so.

Having -- be a lot of focus just on on the State Department and the systems and the internal accountability.

-- It feels to me like a lot of this was because of just.

State Department that is stove -- it's almost.

Full of Soros -- and unable to really panned to the issues of security and make decisions that need to be made in this regard.

-- I think you know that book.

With that fit into that regard Senator McCain that there there seems to be this constant theme about folks in Washington -- -- whether or not she was aware in on the decision making.

As to whether or not adequate security was in place and then Gaza.

It is that not the heart of this.

Final thing is any question that she'll be asked that -- especially with some of the cables that.

Now we've all known about from Cris Stevens and some of the concerns and the fact you know the first thing that people -- -- wanna talk about bill is money and and that's the very first thing that came out of the accountable -- -- RB and that was really discouraging to me because.

We had people there from the Defense Department that -- -- they were there at no charge to the State Department.

And they were sent away and met office and there was no excuse for that.

There's also the issue bill of just the administration's overall policy in the fact that they were spike in the mall on al-Qaeda.

Throughout the course of this entire campaign and yet were saying what's happening and now on Molly and Algeria and other places certainly what happened in Libya and so there's this overall big question of how this administration is dealing.

-- -- -- and militants in the fact that they've focused so much on the Afghan Pakistan area.

That's sort of the core of of al-Qaeda but they're all these notes that are scattered throughout Africa -- now that obviously are a threat to western civilization.

And it's as if they've taken their -- the ball so they'll be -- -- policy you -- hear about that tomorrow three quick questions on this do you think she's been honest publicly at this point.

-- -- -- she really hasn't said much.

Publicly and and certainly she was not the one that came forth on the Sunday morning after the famous five program -- Susan Rice goes on.

I have talked to her and and certainly -- yesterday at luncheon talk to -- little bit about her testimony.

Tomorrow.

I think she's been forthcoming I did I just don't think it's been extensive and up until this time because of the injury she sustained from a followed her home.

We've only had under secretaries there but I have a sense that morning -- is different certainly.

That's right do you expect bombshells.

That we have not yet anticipated senator.

I really don't expect any bombshells and the reason has -- been born a half months now bill we've all gone through an area odds of cables.

Homeland Security issue a report Lieberman and Collins.

We've all been through the so the private testimony classified settings I don't think they'll be bombshells but I think this actually.

With what's happening throughout North Africa right now they're going to be a lot of questions about just the overall policies of this administration.

As it relates to a Q I am I see I don't like -- -- it.

Tomorrow then does it end this issue that's what you're saying.

-- I think this is the beginning really have looked in that these expeditionary.

Programs that we -- in places.

Like -- there's no question there hasn't been the accountability within that department there's really no one -- Yeah now lost their job over this we've had a resignation or two but you know.

I think this is going to be the beginning I hope as -- hopefully become the ranking member of foreign relations over the next few days.

Of a top to bottom review of the State Department itself again I think it's apartment that.

Doesn't think outside the box I think it leaves people.

In places like men got the in Tripoli in a state -- not really feeling fully supported.

And I think this stuff hopefully is going to be much more oversight by the senate and congress as we move ahead we're watching senator tomorrow morning at this hour about -- or Republican thank -- Thank you thank you north.
