andrea, i think you hit it right on the head. if there were always about trying to deflect the fact that there was another large facility, fine, but the administration should honestly say that. we've already had director clapper say he lied before the congress. >> didn't the administration's own independent review board come to the conclusion that the security failures you cited from gregory hicks and other witnesses were accurate? and it was a slamming report. >> it was a slamming report. my concern with that report is it doesn't go high enough, it doesn't go to undersecretary kennedy and others who had direct responsibility. but having said that, yes, they made it clear they should have had security they didn't have. mullen, when asked, if they had had a fast team like yemen had or like libya has today, would there have been an attack, and in his opinion, with those kinds of forces behind the walls, there wouldn't have been an attack. >> before i let you know, i quickly want to touch on obamacare, which is a big area of concern

joining us, we have already heard from lester holt at the stadium, and the intrepid andrea mitchell upt 4:00 a.m. and on duty in our washington bureau, and by request because andrea's time as a correspondent has overlapped the presidents from the modern american era who all had nelson mandela in common, talking to jimmy carter here yesterday, and having talked to bill clinton last week, you realize that mandela had all of these separate and deep friendships with these men, with their families, and like the pairable of the blind man and the elephant, they came away with the different impressions and memories, but andrea, they are part of the true line of history that includes nelson mandela. >> indeed, they are. and in your recollections and your meetings with jimmy carter and bill clinton, they are so much on point and also bush 41 because of his age, he doesn't have any particular health problems, but at 89 this wouldn't be an easy travel for him, but he was actually very close with him as well with mandela. it was interesting how quickly -- i was looking at the video yesterday, and i

andrea, first of all, what's this conflict about? and second, the stakes for americans there. >> reporter: well, let's talk first about the american lives because senior officials tell me they think they now have evacuated all of the american civilians out of south sudan. but today the pentagon did move 150 troops and ten aircraft to the region from spain, in case they need to evacuate the embassy. why this is precautionary? this is one of the lessons they learned about not having troops close enough during the benghazi disaster. u.s. troops, i'm told, will not take part in a largely african/u.n. peacekeeping force already on the ground. the security council is meeting right now to expand that. now today, state department envoy did meet with south sudan's president kiir. he's the man in the black stetson. to tell him he has to talk to his political and ethnic rivals, which could easily turn into civil war along tribal lines. south sudan is the word's newest country, gaining independence only two years ago with help first from preside

we have not even had a chance to vote on them in the house, andrea.the speaker has refused to allow democracy to work its will. so if we want to move forward as a country in a bipartisan basis, for goodness sakes, let the people's house have a vote on these issues. let us have a vote right now on extending unemployment compensation. you know, if republicans want to vote no, that's fine. but again, allow us to have a vote. the refusal to allow democracy to work its will is one of the reasons people are so disappointed. >> and just to remind our viewers, when is the house going off for the christmas holidays through the end of the year? >> well, the house is currently scheduled to adjourn this friday. >> that's my point. >> many of us are going to be opposing -- we will vote against the adjournment resolution to stay here, to finish the work on a lot of these issues, including the most pressing one right now, the fact that unemployment compensation will expire two days after christmas for over 1 million americans who lost their jobs through no fault of
