comes to the things we can control, our own government i think the state department and the obama administration as a whole must be made accountable. this was a terrorist attack that where four americans diplomats were murdered. gregg: should she want to know, should she have been involved in security? not only should she have known, i want to know why in the seven hours that this firefight took place why did this accountability review board not even interview hillary clinton? she was just presented with the report. at no time was she interviewed. gregg: yeah. what did she do during those seven hours? where was president obama during those seven hours? in a fund-raiser in las vegas? why weren t they trying to do something, scramble a jet so that the terrorists would no the u.s. is there? gregg: we looked into this. f-18 at mach can get there in half an hour from our nearest base in italy. now our sources tell us, tell fox news, that three
of all of this. this report is stunning, ineptitude and incompetence and mismanagement and lack of leadership, it is all there, and i ll talk about it tonight on my show, we re going to break it down, where even the report is double speak. you can t understand what they are saying. gregg: and doesn t get down to a really important question, which is, when they were under attack for 7 long, agonizing. they did not get help, rescue, intervention? and you can get an f-18 there in a half-hour and, three times refused. the question is who refused it. petraeus says he didn t refuse it. there is only within person higher up than him. and you don t have to go there. there is only one person who could have approved it. the president and he gregg: fox news poll, should the presidents have ordered troops to benghazi to help
mistakes but the point is not letting this happen again. gregg: the base at italy f-18 is half an hour, not to mentioned the drones that were already overhead. american spectator wrote this, obama s fingerprints is all over this refusal. if no one in the c.i.a. chain of command refused the aid, the failure this is has to be failure is obama s, do you buy that? the congress has to find that out for us but it did happen on the president s watch. he did ultimately say it was his responsibility and he could have said that earlier. there is so many questions that we still have so many months after and we don t have the perpetrators. gregg: should the president testify? that is not common. gregg: it s happened before? it s possible and rare. these people that work in the white house generally don t come before congress.
