Part II - Graham Questions Military Leaders on Benghazi

with Petraeus and Clinton that we should start looking at military %HESITATION assistance in Syria starcraft

but that was our position I I do wanna say senator that obviously were number of factors that were involved here that %HESITATION ultimately

led to the %HESITATION presence to say hi non leave it now is that I supported his decision then but but

your question is yes for both of you yes is certainly up to the present to make all they see who is in charge in Benghazi were

you in charge sector banana would you mean in charge as running the operation trying to find a way to save our

ambassador who was lost trying to prevent our people from being killed providing assistance to people who are under attack simple

question if the families asked me would it be fair to say that you were in charge I mean I and

it's not as simple as you know I mean I think the people that were in charge of the people on the ground when you say secretary Atlantic was in charge gardening

was secretary Clinton and charge the hope of people that were in charge were a you know the ambassador there Apennines

Washington route that that that that they can't you know they were trying to save their lives they weren't in charge answer well

somebody had to be in charge of coordinating assistance was it you the secretary of state or the president who is in charge I

think we're all in Georgia in the sense of trying to did you ever move our forces as brightly as you possible

that night but obviously we have people in touch with her and but did you did you as secretary of defense and state ever consult each other before the attack was over did

we consult with did you talk did you individually talk to each other no we did we did OJ when

when when did you talk to the president after your initial meeting around five o'clock when did you talk

to him again Dr I'm not sure is it on September the twelfth it could very well have been that I did you go to bed that night did

you go to bed before the attack was over no I was at the %HESITATION department or did you general Dempsey you know we we

were as you know president went to bed before the attack so I don't know should do you know who was talking to the president at the White House I

assume the chief of staff a straw he know how me that but you don't know I don't know %HESITATION do you either one of you I

understand some of the frustrations we have this is the first time in thirty years we lost control of an ambassador and

%HESITATION no small deal I would just conclude that Mister chairman saying I want to know more

I like him I don't I I want this committee to continue to ask questions about what the president knew before and

during this attack and apparently would lapse call other people thank you very much Mister chairman the thank you letter sooner

in is not about you carrying some I know the president cares is not about Thad is about what

we ready you know we we looked hard at the bush administration a screwed up a bunch so you're going through nothing they went through we're trying to learn and
