facilities in benghazi. at 3:42 p.m., washington, d.c. or 9:42 in libya. then 17 minutes later at 3:59 p.m. an unarmed, unmanned surveillance aircraft is direct to reposition over the benghazi facility. in the other time line that was issued about it cia it says 17 minutes after the incident was started that general ham in washington, d.c. was the one that within 17 minutes directed an unmanned surveillance drone. now, in 17 minutes react. we needed to get information. if they could send an unhands, unarmed drone, why could they not have scrambled jets and in less than a half-hour have those jets in the air providing support that was necessary.
a storyline that didn t match the reality on the ground, and it was very hard for them as a consequence to adjust to the fact that it was an al qaeda attack. but occurring on 9/11, it should been obvious to them, and certainly obvious to other consulates in the area that al qaeda was operating and indeed training, not far from the benghazi facility. gregg: congressman, what is the one thing you hope to learn today? well, when what i would like to know when the request was made for help who in the chain of command denied that help to our ambassador and to our team there on the ground. gregg: do you have suspicions? i do not know answer to this. i want to find the answer to that. gregg: there is a mountain of evidence that contradicts the story that was put out by the white house for up to two weeks, that this was all just a youtube video, and not a terrorist attack. what do you make of that?
issues he needs to take command of. what i m saying is he has a command of the facts. paul rain no, he didn t, tracy. he didn t. i m glad you raise it. this will be my final point for both of you. christie, one fact that i need you to comment on for sure, was the information that came out in those hearings on libya, requests for security and an unfolding of a tragedy. and the vice president said he had no knowledge, he almost said they had no knowledge of a request for security, but those cables have been released. was he not briefed on that? all right, jamie, here is what you need to know about the situation in benghazi. republicans, led by paul ryan, house republicans, have cut diplomatic security funding. they have cut embassy security funding. and more important crestty, you are not answering the question. you are not answering the question. what you are seeing is the second in command. go ahead, go ahead. the republican party christie, did the skies
that suggested there would be an attack at benghazi facility, absolutely, categorically that is fact. molly: still congress wants to know more, a house committee started investigating this week and now the senate homeland security committee it will do the same. senate committee wants to know what happened and why and why the obama administration s quote initial public assessments of the attack were subsequently proven inaccurate. patti ann: nato special forces are putting some of the top police officers through elite training. this sort of training mission is key to plans for the 2014 withdrawal but it comes after green on blue attacks which afghan security forces opened fired on nato trainers. lieutenant colonel north is streaming live from hellman province in afghanistan. nato commanders maintain that
benghazi attacks are a political topic right now is because romney and ryan made it so. does that seem to you that she is saying that the lives of these four brave americans is not important? i hear that, and i also hear that, well, it wouldn t be an issue if we hadn t gotten caught. what more do you on your commit that s investigating this whole affair, what more do you want to know? my number one concern is are there any other embassies or u.s. diplomatic officials out there that are in a dangerous position that we are not providing all necessary protection for? it s a tragedy that we have lost these lives, but it would be even worse if this list of four grew to a list of 8 or more. the congressman on the committee that s investigating this. thank you for taking the time. i appreciate it. my pleasure. sobering responses and information.
