I thought more about what happened than all of you put together. Those were Hillary Clintons words during thursdays 11hour congressional hearing on the 2012 benghazi attack. Republicans repeatedly accused the former u. S. Secretary of state of not doing enough to protect american lives. Dana bash has more. A. Hillary clinton came prepared. I take responsibility for what happened in benghazi. Combative at times. I dont know what this line of questioning does to help us get to the bottom of the deaths of four americans. Other times, contrite. Trying to reveal what shes so often accused of concealing her human side. I have lost more sleep than all of you put together. Ive been wracking my brain about what more could have been done or should have been done. The only other person in the room with as much to prove as clen ton, the gop chairman who repeatedly insisted the benghazi investigation is not political. Not a Single Member of this committee signed up to investigate you or your email. Trey gowdy and the others spent a significant amount of time on emails she got and forwarded to sidney bloomenthal with advice related to libya. I dont know where he got the information that he was sending to me. Did you ask. Youre sending me very difficult detailed intelligence, what is your source . That seems to me like a pretty good question. Its relevant because our ambassador was asked to read and respond to sidney bloomenthals drivel. Also relevant, he said, because ambassador chris stooens, killed in the benghazi attack had been requesting more security but did not have direct access to clinton. I think its imminently fair to ask why sidney bloomenthal had unfettered access to you, madam secondary, with whatever he wanted to talk about, and theres not a single, solitary email to or from you to or from ambassador stevens. Lawmakers on both sides used videos, charts and props to make their points. Democrats arguing its a waste of time and taxpayer money. The purpose of this committee is to prosecute you, and there will be time enough for that in the next year, and people will do it. We dont need to spend 4. 7 million in 17 months to simply prosecute you. As for questions and confusion about initial comments from Administration Officials including clinton that the attack was spawned by a video, republicans produced a new wrinkle that clinton contacted the egyptian Prime Minister the day after the benghazi attack to say it wasnt the video. Im sorry that it doesnt fit your narrative, congressman. I can only tell you what the facts were. One saying its even more proof of an administration coverup right before president obamas reelection. You picked the video narrative. You picked the one with no evidence and its just 56 days before an election. You can live with a protest about a video. That wont hurt you. But a terrorist attack will. So you cant be square with the American People. The most firy moment of the hearing did not involve Hillary Clinton. Im waiting on you. Im waiting for a statement. It was between the Top Republican and democrat, arguing over process while clinton sat back trying not to look demused. Bemused. Dana bash joining us now with more on this. Can you tell us what do we know now that we did not know before secretary clinton began 11 hours of testimony. The objective answer is not much. I can say that objectively because its not just me saying that, just where im standing, not that long ago the republicans on the committee came out and talked to reports and the chairman, trey gowdy was asked that question and he said he didnt think we learned a lot more from Hillary Clinton than other committees have learned in the past from testimony. I think thats the large truth. However, this is just one piece of their very large investigation, one little part of the puzzle that theyre trying to put together. That theyre trying to put together about what happened leading up to the attack in benghazi, what happened that night and what happened afterwards. So thats the answer there, but when it comes to the actual testimony from the big fish, so to speak, not so much new. Okay, then since since we didnt learn a whole lot, who is to blame for that . Is it the questions and the way the committee went after mrs. Clint clinton . Or is it because of the answers mrs. Clinton gave . I think it could be both, or it could just be the bottom line that there isnt a whole lot new to learn. Im probably going to get accused of repeating democratic talking points, because that is what democrats have been saying in the committee, in these hallways, you know, sort of nonstop, why do we have this committee in the first place, because theres weve already had hours and hours of testimony from five or six committees already going on before this select committee was em panelled. So i think thats part of the answer, but the other thing is, look, Hillary Clinton is a master at this. She knows how to have a substantive conversation and engage without giving away too much. And also looking like shes actually answering the question, because she generalry was. So i think just on the pure politics of this, john what were hearing already tonight, even from some republicans is, wow. Maybe we didnt want this to be political, but it ended up political, but not in their gop favor. In the democrats favor, because she actually did so well in her answers. And very quickly, of course, now were here with an expert on u. S. Policy, International Law and the middle east. Josh, always good to have you with us. Picking up on the point that dana made about the politics of it all and how republicans are probably feeling in the aftermath of how today played out, do you think theyre ruing their decision to stage this hearing . Because some of the questioning was extremely brutal, bruising towards Hillary Clinton. She held her own. Absolutely she held her own. It was an exceptional performance under a marathon session, obviously, today over 11 hours. The takeaway as well, secretary clinton effectively in a calm and sobering tone, la meanted the tragic loss of life of ambassador stevens and three ore americans killed in the benghazi attack while also evoking past bipartisan investigations that were successful in looking at the causes of terrorist attacks on u. S. Embassies abroad. We had Republican Congress members that were in the tone and tenor welcome delivering a criminal prosecution in their line of questioning. It was so vitriolic and acrimonious that i think republicans will rue the day. I think it will hurt the Republican Party to some degree and come back to bite them as far as what they intended to do, which weve seen from comments from congressman Kevin Mccarthy and other, this really was about targeting Hillary Clinton. Uh you are a supporter of Hillary Clinton. We need to get that on the record. The situation in benghazi is awful. Its not just a republican talking point. Its a real place with real problems. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton was the architect of, this coalition that removed gadha gadhafi. Why wasnt there more of a focus on that in terms of u. S. Foreign policy . Youre completely right. Benghazi in 2015 is a mess. Weve seen failed attempts by u. N. And other key actors to broker peace talks between two rival factions. And libya has historically been split tribally into faks. And the west and the east primarily. With that being said, i think secretary clinton made an effective and forceful case today, not only for the rationale that led her to support the intervention in libya in 2011, but playing a role as the ambassador, but also in to kufsing on what she did as secretary of state after gadhafi fell. The United States did play a Critical Role with our allies and on the ground with the new Libyan Government at the time in trying to bolster that fledgling government in a post gadhafi era, economically removing chemical weapons. But the bottom line is i think her forceful case for the intervention espouses her general world view, which is principled and muscular engagement on a multilateral level. Couldnt you make the argument that the failure of the policy led to the rise of the extremism, which this was a planned terrorist attack, which was a direct result of clintons policies. That seems to be a much more interesting line of argument to take when it comes to the situation in benghazi. That was obviously absent today, although libya was a huge subject before and after and why we went in there. The key takeaway, though, is that secretary clinton believes that the libya intervention was the right choice to make. If we look at syria now and obviously libya and syria are not the same. But the inaction by the International Community in syria has fuelled a tragic moral and geopolitical crisis of epic proportions. And many in the obama administration, including secretary clinton and president obama believed if we did not intervene in libya, we would see mass crimes against humanity taking place in benghazi and around the country. Secretary clinton believes this was the right decision and there were steps taken to stabilize the country. When she left the state department in err whether i 2013, weve seen libya deinvolve. Devolve. Shz hae put this in the Rearview Mirror . I believe she has, despite jim jordan and others that we heard from tonight that this work will go on. I think the American People saw the true colors of this Investigative Committee tonight, which kraelly was aimed ultimately seechlingly as a witch hunt against secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Thanks for coming in. Thank you. Paul ryan says he will run for speaker of the u. S. House of representatives after giving a very strong no for quite a few weeks.

The pentagon says 70 hostages were freed, many of them i security forces. It was the first combat death in iraq since 2011. Cnns Barbara Starr reports. The raid by u. S. Special Operations Forces that left one american dead from isis gun fire was the first u. S. Military death by enemy action in this war. Several military officials tell cnn. Remarkably, a mission that president obama did not sign off on. I believe the Defense Department has said that the secretary of defense authorized this mission. The secretary of defense ash carters press secretary defending the decision to help kurdish commanders, close u. S. Allies. This was a unique circumstance in which very close partners of the United States made a specific request for our assistance. The pentagon says carter approved the mission because the kurds wanted to free prisoners facing imminent execution. Is the sat lime imagery showed mass graves had already been dug, but none of freed prisoners appear to be kurds. You went on a Hostage Rescue Mission and you did not know who would be there . We did not have a full accounting of everyone at this compound, thats correct. The pentagon adamant it was not Mission Creep and did not violate the president s ban of combat by u. S. Forces. The u. S. Special Operation Forces were supposed to use their helicopters to just fly Iraqi Kurdish forces to the isis jail in Northern Iraq. But there was one secret clause. If the iraqis started to come under heavy attack, u. S. Troops had the authority to step in and help, essentially putting themselves in combat against isis. That is exactly what happened when heavy gunfire broke out on the ground just after initial military action. Nearby, u. S. War planes had just dropped bombs on makeshift isis training camps, staging sites and bridges in the area. Then five helicopters brought in nearly 70 u. S. Special forces, iraqi, and kurdish troops. They approached the compound and that fire fight broke out. When the mission was over, the u. S. Aircraft overhead destroyed the site. The u. S. Service member was badly wounded inside the compound during the fire fight. He was air lifted to Northern Iraq and later died of his wounds at a battlefield Trauma Center there. The u. S. Insists the main reason for the mission the kurds asked for help and the u. S. Wanted to help them. The kurds are valuable allies to u. S. Forces fighting isis in both iraq and in the skies over syria. It is possible, we are told, there may be more missions like this one. Barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. And we have this just into cnn.
