pulitizer prize winning junenalists fox news contributor, judith miller.weekly standard", fox news contributor. thanks for being here. let's begin with john kerry. are you excited about the presumptive secretary of state? >> i think he was made for this job. if you can't be president i think john kerry wanted to be secretary of state. he wanted it before hillary clinton got the job. he has been running around the globe trying to be a pseudo secretary of state. now he has got the job. i think he is fine choice considering this administration is the most centralized administration when it comes to making decisions on foreign policy. the president makes them at the white house. so he can travel and have a good time. lou: it was a little strange today. kerry didn't say anything while he was in the white house. it i only two faces and voices you're supped to see when you go to the white us. it is carney and the president. >> there are two explanations for that. one, they don't want to make any news. john kerry occasionall committed verbal gaffs in the past. rem

joining us now, a pulitzer prize-winning journalist and fox news contributor judith miller, editor ofon for defense of democracies, and it's good to have you with us. let me begin with you. this report, in your judgment going to allay concerns, answer the questions that are posed about what happened to you is responsible. >> it's going to shut a lot of what a lot of the questions that you and other people have been asking repeatedly about benghazi. pinkerton, the man who is in charge of this is really experienced, seen all of the kind of excuses before. he knows how to assign blame. lou: do you agree, bill? >> i don't agree as much. i think washington certainly has a culture of covering for each other. i don't see that this report is pointing such stark figures. i expect there will be a lot of ops vacation on the int of who is actually responsible, and we won't see. in the wake of september 11th no one resigned and was fired. i don't expect any fee to be held to the fire from much smaller incident like and gusty. lou: the accountability, the fact is there is one, i guess we can call h

ambassador not united nations, john bolten, judith miller, both fox news contributors.et me begin, if i may, with what's happening with this -- what's happening with morsi and this arab spring that was supposed to be blossoming and no response, no statement from the white house of any kind directly, significantly meaningful on what's happening. i mean it's frustrating to say the least. >> not surprising, lou, begin the president morsilini as he's now called in egypt, understands that for the americans all that matters is egypt's continued adherence to the peace treaty with israel, and as long as they don't throw that into the water, into the nile and flush it down the dam, everything's going to be forgiven. it was only a day, a day after the cease fire announcement that president morsi took these extraordinary actions and made the power grab that's not alienated so many in his own government and in the country. lou: john, your thoughts? in support of what judy said, carney, reading, as you saw there -- >> talking points, cia provided talking points. lou: saying the pres

judith miller joins us now to talk more about all of this. will they make progress, diplomatically?ions are really important in this. he must be persuaded. using chemical weapons against his own people is simply unacceptable, even by russian and chinese standards. dagen: how close? >> we do not have a sense. first of all, we know there is a large arsenal of 40 different locations. it would take approximately 1500 soldiers to secure. assad must understand that even though others have used these weapons in the past, for example, the iraqis, using them against his own people would constitute a war crime and he would not survive. his entire regime would not survive. connell: there is a higher likelihood that chemical weapons would be used, then, what would the united states do? people in this country are wary, how does the united states handle it? >> what we are seeing is people moving chemical precursors to gather to assemble. the administration has been very closed mouthed about whether or not they have been loaded. what would happen is they would have to know that the administration

judith miller is a pulitzer brize-winning investigative reporter, kirsten powers with the daily beast the phone with us, stanley foreman, the winner of three prizes for photojournalism, one of them this sering shot of a 9-year-old woman and her goddaughter. they were trying to escape a fire, made it out on on the fire escape and the platform collapsed. stanley snapped this photo just before the woman died, the little girl survived. stanley, let's start with you. you have been this that situation -- in that situation. every situation is slightly different, and it's my understanding you were not even in a position to be able to try to help these people because you were cordoned off by police, correct? >> well, that's not really -- i was not in a position. i wasn't cordoned off, but -- [inaudible] you have to remember that was a routine rescue. when i talked to the firefighter afterward, he said two more seconds he would have had them. he had climbed down from the roof, climbed onto the fire escape, explained to the girl and the god child that there would be a ladder coming up, and he'd

judith miller, pulitzer-prize-winning investigator reporter and author and fox news contributor.grenell is former spokesperson to four u.s. ambassadors to the united nations. welcome to both of you. rick, obviously the two developments are related. the benghazi report and john kerry is now the nominee to be secretary of state. >> we're told right from the beginning that susan rice had nothing to do with benghazi and that the talking points were given to her. it really begs the question, why was she out there then? if she had nothing to do with this, she shouldn't have been the spokesperson. she got tripped up not only because of this, because of her record over the last several years. jon: let's interrupt this conversation to hear senator john mccain of arizona. he has been highly critical of susan rice. let's hear what he has to say about the benghazi report. >> -- surrounding the tragedy in benghazi. it has been more than three months after the attack that killed four americans in benghazi including ambassador chris stevens. the american people are beginning to get the answers

let's check in with our news watch panel, judith miller, a pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporterkirsten powers, a daily beast columnist. i guess chuck todd would have us believe that susan rice, ambassador rice's statements on the morning shows about what happened in benghazi played no role whatsoever in her decision to withdraw her name from consideration, judy. >> well, of course, this is just -- it's ludicrous. chuck todd has been a great defender of susan rice, and i have been very, very critical -- as you know, jon and kirsten -- of the administration's handling of the benghazi disaster. but i will say this, the response to susan rice, the focus on her, the killing of the messenger is, as joe scarborough has said, disproportionate. and i find it very unusual that this campaign, though led by republicans, was quickly joined by liberals and by left-wingers who accused susan rice of being too cozy with african dictators. she was getting it from all sides. what really, really offends me is the personal natures of the attacks on her by journalists who should have known better. ma

judith miller printed stories, anonymous sourcing -- that is where i wanted to put that on the table. she never said we're for information was coming from, that there were weapons of mass destruction. of course, hussein, the leader of iraq, encouraged that. it was something like putting up a sign, beware of the dog in your apartment, but there was no dog. there were no methods of mass destruction. but it gave cover to the moderate democrats to vote for war. in some ways, "the times" bear some responsibility. that was a major embarrassment for them. possibly the most important one. because no one ever knew where this came from. it turned out the person was once a figure in the iraqi government, but the trouble is, it was not true. if i point to somebody and say this person has a contagious disease, we all have to leave the room, i should know what i'm talking about, right? this is an example of a major problem. this diminished the prestige of "the times," and there are the things we could mention also. they had knowledge in 2004 of government wiretapping of private citizens. the govern
