. >> ar wa, in ben ghazi what is the atmosphere there now? people -- we saw pictures, rallies supporting the united states there. i mean, is it predominantly pro or anti u.s. sentiment there? can you tell? >> anderson, i landed a few hours ago, really in the middle of the night? libyans i met when i was on the ground, are all really appalled at what happened. many of them are completely speechless and still in shock, and many of them want to emphasize this is not representative of libya, this is not representative of the libya that they were trying to establish, the libya that they fought, and they themselves died for or lost family members for. but this really goes to show how sinister this country can potentially become. the government has to figure out a way to get the weapons off the street and back into its own control and that's one of the biggest challenges moving forward. post revolution, there were a series of policies trying to get revolutionary fighting brigades into the security forces trying to persuade them to give up their weap

. >> ben ghazi is so bad that the fbi can't even go in and investigate. what about the fact that there are military operations to find ambassador stephens' killers? what is america doing to change the trajectory in libya? >> well, i'm not going to speak for the fbi, but i think the key thing here, we live in a dangerous world obviously with threats out there. and we're going to make sure that the appropriate steps are taken to enhance security, make sure our personnel and ambassadors are secure. >> is there a military option for the united states to lead the way in libya to track down his killers? >> i'm not going to speak to that. but the president was very clear the day after this event. this tragedy. that we are going to make sure that these killers are brought to justice. >> was it inappropriate for him to go to a fundraiser the day after this attack now in retrospect knowing that it was a terrorist attack, inappropriate for him to engage in politics as usual? >> no. the president obviously is 24/7 engaged in the job of the presiden presidency. he has

ben ghazi.u.s. embassy should be safe as your living room. if you are overseaing - overseas and you go to a embassy and you are in the foreign country and by all international laww those are acts of war. and we have to stop calling these man caused disasters and work place violence and then when something like this happens, don't condemn the acts of those people who are perpetrating such violence on your property and our people. >> gretchen: what should president obama do today. >> for god sakes stay home and be commander-in-chief. >> gretchen: should he come out and give a statement. >> certainlyy, a statement should have been given yesterday to denounce the statement that was begin from the u.s. embassy in cairo and denounce that and say we condemn what protestors did. they started a fire. they took down the flag of the united states. and put an islamic flag. we are at war and we better say who we are at war against and stop using the funny words . we are against radical islamic terrorist and

ambassador killed in ben ghazi. they had all of the warning signs. government given three days' warning tha riots could ensue and people could be killed in the u.s. embassy. this isn't a bump in the road. i'm telling you, if mitt romney or a republican president said something like that, the mainstream media would be on fire or as willie likes to say, in vuago, baby, in fuago. >> i can't count how many times willie has said that. to my mind, that is the most interesting thing because i dot think president obama thinks what has happened in the way you've put it are bumn th. i don't think that mitt romney really, really believes that 47% of americans, if he becomes president, he is not going to worry about. i think that there is -- i think, at this point in the campaign, we're in a war of phrases ateel important and you have to judge these guys, i think, on their whole campaigns, their whole lives and -- >> so is it safe to say that president obama was exaordinarilily naive as a candidate in 2008 when he told people, you know, if i just talk to the lea

we will see what emerges in ben fwauz ghazi. the move is to reinforce tripoli, make sure there's more of a security footprint. the president and secretary clinton talking about putting more security around the world. the big question everybody is asking everywhere, is there enough security, is there the understanding of potential mob threats and is there enough security in place to deal with. >> the pictures s we're looking at, i want to explain, this is marines at consulate in kabul, afghanistan. do we have a picture of the car? it looked like a typical car that the ambassador was in. do you know anything about that? and should he have been in a more secured car like an armored car, let's say? >> i would have to see the picture. i have to tell you, we have traveled in these convoys as journalists many times ourselves. they are the typical appearing suvs, if you will, that often are armored and have protective glass in them that you might not -- is that the picture of his car? that you might not -- >> this is a picture of his ca
