spontaneous protest. go he had ahead mark. jay carney give him a pass he is not in the intelligence loop. susan rice the ambassador, they chose the person it be spokesman on national security. you don t think she was not briefed about true intelligence. they put her on five sunday shows. megyn: we re left with more questions than answers. i appreciate both you guys being here. simon, mark. thank you so much. don t go away. questions?
in libya and there are indeed grave dancers for the united states in the region. i prefer if the first explanation were true if they were covering up. that would at least indicate they understand reality. and are trying to obscure it. the second explanation means they don t understand reality and four more years of that could leave us in real trouble. megyn: general keane, can you put this in grander perspective. we went into libya. chose not to go into syria. chose not to go into iran with beginnings of a revolution. we went into libya and got rid of this dictator, helped get rid of them. there is argument there is having couple of power around some are trying to fill it. some are hate us. we crippled them. we weakened them. can you give us a grander perspective what happened in libya this 9/11. well the greater view, is radical extremists want to dominate the region.
it s clear he was making a joke. but a lot of people see those headlines and hear rachael maddow and walk away thinking the man is a moron. the real bias in the press is not that they sit around calculating how to hurt republicans. it s because they largely share the framework of liberal democrats. so their idea of what is news largely fits that of the white house. that leads to the second problem which is just sheer volume. when a republican commits a gaffe, and it seems only republicans are capable of gaffes according to the press today, it s picked up everywhere. megyn: my apologies to my panel. but we have got to get to the united nations where the prime minister of israel is take together microphones. let s listen to benjamin netanyahu.
