i say it is 50/50. one thing you have been following are the hearings on libya. hillary clinton, secretary of state has a virus, a con cuss, and wasn t a concussion and wasn t able to testify. at this point, what do you think we will learn from the secretary that we are not learning from these hearings? is libya something that will stay with her should she decide to have a run next go around? of all of the members on the cabinet, i think secretary clinton is probably the most able and has done the best job. obviously she has questions to answer in benghazi. the report was accurate. i don t believe it did reach her. she has an obligation to testify to show what her role was. how those decisions are made. apparently it didn t go to her, but why doesn t it go that high. if she runs in 2016 she will be judged on her record. so long as she comes in i

benghazi. and a question asked then was where is hillary clinton? this is her mission in libya, it was her ambassador who was killed, along with three others, why wasn t she on television answering these questions? now, why is her testimony not until mid december, early december? i think for some time now she s been waiting for this internal state department review board to complete its work and she wants to wait for that to come out and digest it and that may be her new line of defense. it s been i d have to say a very successful tactical effort by the secretary of state to avoid the spotlight. gregg: ambassador, secretary clinton is in charge of the diplomats, and the diplomats in benghazi were begging not only for greater protection before the attack, but then, of course, you know, their cia operatives were begging for help during the
among those calling ambassador rice unfit because she went on five sunday talk shows and gave the american people incorrect, false information about the libya attack. the president though firing back. as i have said before, she made an appearance at the request of the white house in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her. if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. that is interesting for the president to say something that juvenile, not picking on anyone. guess as we just said, four americans died. is that picking on anybody when you want to place responsibility and find out what happened so that we can make sure it doesn t happen again? gregg: here now georgia
benghazi. why did they pick her? she is not in charge of consulate security. she works in the u.n. why nobody from the state department? i believe she is a close political ally on the president. she went on national tv four or five days after the attack when there is no credible information that the video scenario was real. and she either through incompetence or an intentional effort to mislead the american people tried to spin a story that would help the president. gregg: pretty stunning charge. as we mentioned, senator graham joining senators john mccain, kelly ayotte calling for a watergate-style joint committee of congress to investigate the attack. later on america s newsroom , reaction from a big critic of the president on libya, georgia senator john any isakson will join us. martha: as we mentioned the house foreign affairs committee on benghazi kicks off at the top of the hour. in 20 minutes, kong hand ed royce who chairs the
