Graham Previews Benghazi Hearing With Military Leaders

and we are just moments away now from a big hearing on the Benghazi terror attack outgoing

defense secretary Leon Panetta had been pressed to make this appearance and he will do that this morning he faces the Senate Armed Services Committee South

Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham has wanted to add to have this opportunity to question Leon Panetta about what he knew and what the president knew and what the Pentagon knew about

to spend Ghazi story but I know it was very important to you before we got a new defense secretary to question the current one what do you want to ask him this morning %HESITATION

most importantly what did our commander in chief Barack Obama do %HESITATION to come to the aid of these people %HESITATION

expect you know one of the things we saw in that Hillary Clinton hearing was that there were a lot of questioning and not a whole lot of answers it took it

in a lot of time was spent %HESITATION %HESITATION posing the question deep do you expect a different kind of %HESITATION

tenor in there this morning at a different pace and and will he be pressed on things like where where was the president during those hours and

%HESITATION during the hearing yelling get five minutes so it's very important to get information I hope we have to rounds the

assistance to be rendered at what point did he give that order why did no one show up you know general Dempsey said the military responded appropriately to

the department of defense needs to be held accountable but the person I blame the most for Benghazi as president Obama is

his light footprint foreign policy strategy that allow this conflict to become a death trap he's

the one to share the blame %HESITATION above all others and as they're calling and John McCain senator McCain pointed out that

the last two seals we believe according to the time line were killed in the final hour of a seven hour siege so it makes the argument that you

know you can't respond to the second nine one one call and that they simply couldn't get there in time a little more complicated doesn't it it

responded appropriately I think not not one DOD asset reach these people before they were evacuated for

nine eleven of all days and given the history of the threats the reports coming out of Libya about the consulate in the deteriorating situation

this is system failure nobody's pressing the president than mainstream media's given the %HESITATION bomb administration pass and it needs to stop obviously

I were also going to hear from that CIA you know the man who says you to be this the CIA job is

that security adviser to the president the White House it you know there's so much focus now on the drone issue when I get your thoughts on that because I know you're supportive of that program overall but

but do you think that because of the drone issue that John Brennan will get a pass on what he knew and what he understood about what have and

Gaza because we really haven't heard from and then a really good question the counterterrorism director for the United States has not said one word about

the actions he took when he was notified there's a counterterrorism Joint Task Force ballo that supposed to be supposed

to me when there's a terrorist attack they weren't even called into into session all Lhasa Panetta why that was was

so and that yet no one's asked John Brennan out anything about Benghazi and if he's in the chain of command to
