netanyahu speaks to the u.n. about iran. eric: but they didn t mention the libya story once in the broadcast. eric: you yourself are saying it s a big story. bob: it is a big story. american people deserve to know there could be a coverup going on in the white house. bob: i assume they probably think the american people do not care much about this. greg: you had four americans die and we care more about the iphone. media is the obama snuggy. andrea: leopard one. the only industry not doing your job ensurous keep your job. they didn t do the libya story but when obama went on the view, abc, cbs, msnbc covered it. why would they cover that and
saying this is unrelated to the video, a lot of gray matter that surrounds what went down. it makes sense mitt romney would try to exploit that for campaign purposes and because he probably does have questions as many of us do about what exactly went down and whether there was breach of u.s. intelligence? i think both speeches today and overall of state of the race now is that caution is the operative word for the administration. right. they don t want do anything to disturb the patterns in the rate which are all moving in their direction. the libya story has been the one sort of story that persistently is sort of gnawing away a bit at their need to keep things static. the administration doesn t want to do anything to sort of bring more attention to that, obviously. because right now look, most voters are not voting on foreign policy. this is a domestic policy election. there s a limited amount of currency that the romney campaign can get from foreign policy but the one thing the med
reported and put it aside. this is the new york times. not one story in the new york times about libya. let alone terrorism angle. not a story in here about libya. this seems strange. i don t know. am i wrong? the newspaper of record ought to have a story. the administration narrative here is collapsing. it doesn t work anymore. nobody believes it. you did have some other outlet, reuters had a tough piece saying what the administration arguing is at odds with what we now know to be factual at odds with what the administration claimed. cbs news followed up with a report that fox had three days earlier, that there were, in fact, no protests in benghazi. just didn t happen. cbs news reported that today as well. bret: i should point out i would have held up the washington post but you had a libya story. i was going to say. bret: you are all good. somebody stick up for the post. bret: next up 2012 and how it factors in. keep it here.
speaking to reporters this morning, secretary of state clinton said she is expanding the investigation. the team from the f.b.i. reached libya this week. iill advice congress also i am launching a accountability review board. that will be chaired by ambassador thomas pickerring. later in the day, members of congress briefed by clinton and the director of national intelligence on the assault by terrorists. they are attempting to establish whether he was kegged to people who made the attack. she a person of interest if you will. the story now has been changed. there was a planned premeditated attack. when we put our people around the world, at risk and don t provided a quite security. shame on us. the ambassador says the two seals killed in benghazi were there to protect them bass dore. two of the four americans were killed were there
terrorism is happening in last six weeks of presidential campaign. on american soil. the first attack we had on american soil. bret: technically, because it was the u.s. consulate. the first ambassador to be killed since 1979. it was an attack on 9/11. the 11th anniversary. it s a big, big deal. big deal. also they for reasons that i think we all agree are somewhat mysterious they put susan rice out to make something of a fool of herself. bret: she was on five, i think it s five sunday shows. there you see the shot. she went around and the story changed a little bit. but basically the same it was this spontaneous group in benghazi. it got out of control and evolved and turned deadly. in fairness, i m sure the fairness who attacked didn t like the video but i don t think that is the issue. this was a premeditated terrorist attack. there is so much confirmation of that now.
