Business about the videotape, why if they knew it was terrorism, why did they keep pushing the videotape for days? there had to be a reason because it s so patently ridiculous. the idea that this is a video gone awry is somewhere between patently false and an outright lie. greta: but why? i don t know, because i don t think it fit their narrative. i don t think it fit their narrative that everything was fine, if we just be good neighbors, if we re just nice to everybody, they ll like us. look, al-qaeda is still very active in the region. as you said, we have to deal with that reality. like i said, the security personnel wanted more personnel, wanted more fortification of the buildings. that was denied. greta: if you read the bill gertz thesis, it s it was done to hide the fact that the moose policy has failed, that al-qaeda is growing, it s now up against an election, and the whole thing was hoping to put a lid on. that s what i agreed from the ....
East today, with iran closer than ever to nuclear weapons capability, with the conflict in syria threatening to destabilize the region, and with violent extremists on the march, with an american ambassador and three others dead, likely at the hands of al-qaeda affiliates, it s clear that the risk of conflict in the region is higher now than when the president took office. i know the president hopes for a safer, freer and more prosperous middle east allied with us. i share this hope. but hope is not a strategy. greta: former state department official liz cheney joins us. good evening, liz. hi, greta. good to be with you. greta: what do you think governor romney was seeking to achieve today, andde? a couple of things. first off, point out the very fundamental differences between his approach to leadership and national security and president obama s. if you look at just the issue of american leadership, which was the common thread throughout the entire speech, talking about how im ....
Describe mitt romney. for a long time they were more interested in trying to describe him as a conservative extremist. they didn t want to go after him as a flip-flopper, even as a dishonest politician. they ve started to paint him as someone you can t trust rather than someone whose views are out of step with the mainstream. greta: casey? you saw beforehand, when both campaigns were managin you want to undermine your opponent, who has just come off an unqualified success. a lot of this is intent. i mean, i think barack obama did intend to close down gauntanamo. as a matter of fact, i think congress stopped him by forbidding the use of appropriated funds by moving anyone out of gauntanamo. he actually intended to do it. greta: the other one, he was going to cut the ges deficit in half. he hasn t shown an inclination to do that. the man behind this $5 trillion story says the obama campaign is misusing his studies. i think romney fully intends to ....
Infected across nine states. eight have died. the manufacturer pulling its products off the market. now back to greta. greta: okay. we need some viewer help on this one. help us understand david axelrod s logic on this one. when his candidate, president obama, breaks two of his 2008 campaign promises, axelrod says that s not a lie. when governor romney in 2012 makes a campaign promise about taxes, the obama campaign calls governor romney a liar. why is one guy s campaign promises now broken? not a lie, the other guy s campaign promises a lie. how can that be? here s david axelrod on cbs s face the nation. are you saying that governor romney died or was dishonest? dishonest, absolutely. when he said he never proposed $5 trillion in tax cuts, that was dishonest. when senator obama said in 2008, i m going to cut the deficit in half, close gitmo, people said that was unrealistic, but didn t say he wasn t telling the truth. there s a difference, isn t there? no. closing gitmo invo ....
Compete in anything. casey? it s pretty clear at this point that it could potentially have a big impact, especially after last week, which has not always been the case with vice presidential debates. we ll know if the paul ryan pick was a good one or not. he ll get his moment, his opportunity. a lot more pressure on joe biden given the performance of greta: there s more pressure on him. look what you did last week. i think less pressure. you think more? it s tebow time, time for a big performance from joe biden. he needs to step up. after mitt romney s huge victory in the first debate, if paul ryan were to win this debate, it s a huge feeling of momentum for them. greta: panel, thank you. coming up, president obama and governor romney, move over. another high-profile debate is grabbing the headlines. who is rumbling now? you ll see the fireworks. that s next. with the spark cash card from capital one, ....
