>> to turkey? i will have to take that question for the record. nobody has ever raised that with me. >> reporter: secretary of state clinton asked surprised but what senator mall was getting at was that those weapons may have been being repackaged and sent via turkey to syria. last weekend a new york times report suggested that secretary clinton and david petraeus as head of the cia last summer went to the white house and asked for permission to start arm -rg the syrian rebels. so a lot of quest...

Whole cover up with this movie being the cause, i really think part of the cause may have been that there was a gun running operation going on in benghazi leaving libya, going to turkey and distributing arms to the rebels. martha: when you brought that up, senator, excuse me nor piping in. when you brought that up in the hearing with hillary clinton she looked shocked. she said i have no idea what youre talking about, and we were just talking about jennifer griffin who said perhaps the tail end ...

General hamm, i directed several specific actions. first, we ordered a marine fleet antiterrorism secure team, a fast team stationed in spain to prepare to deploy to benghazi. a second fast platoon was ordered to prepare to deploy to the embassy in tripoli. a special operations force, which was training in central europe was ordered to prepare to deploy to an intermediate staging base in southern europe. and a special operations force based in the united states was ordered to deploy to an interm...

Detective in the nypd thank you so much. martha: well stay on that story. back to the capitol for a moment here. there is senator inhofe as help question secretary leon panetta what he knew about benghazi, what the president knew about benghazi and you can watch it streaming as well. well take you back there as soon as the question-and-answer gets underway. well take a quick break and be back with more in "americas newsroom."

Does that make sense to you? >> yeah, and i dont doubt that they tried to do everything they could, but he hit the nail on the head, time and distance, which begs the question, who made the decision not to have our ac130s closer, our f-16s closer. i think he does make a point that they cant always be there exactly when needed. however, the other command decision that secretary clinton made was why did we put someone into a situation like this without adequate military protection? i never would h...

The view of the accountability review board that studied what happened on that day. in the months since the tragedy at the temporary mission facility, and the nearby annex in benghazi weve learned that there were actually two short duration attacks that occurred some six hours apart. and, again, there was no specific intelligence that indicated that a second attack would occur at the annex, which was located some two miles away. the bottom line is this. that we were not dealing with a prolonged ...

Terror attack. outgoing defense secretary leon panetta has been pressed to make this appearance and he will do this this morning. south carolina senator lindsey graham has wanted this opportunity to question leon panetta about what he knew and what the president knew about what was unfolding in benghazi that night. we are pleased to have the senator with us. a lot of questions obviously are still out there. i think a lost people moved beyond this benghazi story. but i know it was very important ...

Moved very quickly on the ground prevented a more immediate response. despite the uncertainty at the time the department of defense and the rest of the united states government spared no effort to do everything we could to try to save american lives. before, during and after the attack ever request that the department of defense received we did, we accomplished. but, again, four americans lives were lost, and we all have a responsibility to make sure that that does not happen again. the four ame...

Attack. they werent even called into session. ill ask panetta why that is so. no one has asked john brennan anything about benghazi. hes in the chain of command to do something about it. its dumbfounding the lack of scrutiny this administration has had regarding benghazi. martha: we know hillary clinton was basically up all night trying to get help in the area from the libyan government. we dont know where yawn brennan was, we dont know where the president was during those hours and we know john...

All u.s. government personnel from benghazi 12 hours after the initial attack, and subsequently to the air force base was the result of exceptional u.s. government coordination and military response and helped save the lives of two severely wounded americans" still, after all of that it is clear that there are lessons to be learned here, and steps that must be taken to insure that we are doing everything possible to protect our personnel and our facilities abroad. so in concert with the state de...
