mike rodgers should be commended. >> jason, it's not just the white house. some critics in republican circles who believe boehner is not doing all he can on this issue. he released a statement and said for the past year, this administration has failed to provide sufficient answers, making relevant individuals to provide testimony. in short, this administration hasn't been up front. we will press forward with our investigation until we have answers, full accountability and justice. but you talk privately to republicans on capitol hill and there's some frustration with the gop leadership on this issue. >> there is, but there's also frustration within the administration. these leaks to the press are not an accident. senior administration official, fbi officials, and i think that is where the real responsibility lies. with the president. we've identified these individuals. we've charged them, libya's talking about will we know what to do with them. i think this is really an issue in the intelligence community and the administration needs to take the wheel. boehn

joining me now is michigan congressman mike rodgers, chairman of the house intelligence committee.what was your response to the speech, which some are saying sounded like two speeches in one? >> yeah, andrea, i have to tell you i was a little disappointed. i do believe there's a national security interest for the united states to engage militarily or diplomatically to make sure that there's not a proliferation in use of chemical weapons by this regime or any other regime. and i just didn't get the sense that the president, you know, raised to that level. i heard a little bit of campaign rhetoric i've heard before mixed in this speech, a lot of reluctance as commander in chief. didn't want to do it, didn't want to find myself here. i thought he performed well on the part where he talked about the horrific consequences of chemical weapons use. the problem is, i think he needed to try to bring americans in together on why would we do this? what is in our national security interests? and he didn't have that steely resolve of a commander in chief where he laid out the moral obligation a

i want you to listen to republican congressman mike rodgers today. he says president obama has done, and these are his words, an awful job of making a case to strike syria. >> so they don't have strong relationships in congress today. that's a huge problem for them. and candidly have done an awful job explaining to the american people what is in our national security, what is the national united states interests in any level of engagement in a place like syria. >> so, on the phone with me now is congressman gregory weeks, democrat from new york. and member of the house foreign affairs committee. congressman weeks, thank you for joining us. you heard congressman mike rogers say president obama has not made a good case to the american people and he also says that the administration has lost support in congress. is mike rogers right? does the president have your support? >> well, listen. the president, of course, has my support. i don't know if i'm going to vote on the issue. i'm undecided on that. i think to a person just about everyone has to praise t

. >> mike rodgers who was briefed on the status of the investigation tells us the administration's determinationreating this like a criminal event and using this article 3, which is what an american citizen would go through, with all the rights of the constitution, i just think -- i don't know how anyone could come to the conclusion it hasn'tslide it down. >> based on intelligence reporting the delays aloud the benghazi suspects to remain free and remain engaged with terrorist groups. counterterrorism analysts say the strategy has pushed aside military options, including detention and interrogation at guantanamo bay, or a targeted drone strike. >> u.s. intelligence officials and our war fighters in the defense department are ham strung by a law enforcement model. guys that are nobody suspects in the benghazi attack who could be taken off the field today. >> while a criminal case requires physical evidence, but the time the fbi reached the seen it was contaminated and the libyan government, according to the outgoing fbi director, is too unstable to offer the u.s. the support it needs for a comple

cheered by the fact mike rodgers the house intelligence chairman believes the president will ultimately get the votes. some of these leaders are coming together. will those rank and file republicans will bitterly oppose the president's agenda we just don't know. >> that is not such a surprise as democrats clearly split on this as well. >> that's right. some of these democrats feel burned by iraq war and whole question of wmd now they see a much different, initially only consulting congress and then doing this back flip over the weekend and saying okay, i will seek a debate and your votes in congress and try to get your approval and some of these rank and file democrats after getting briefings from the administration over the weekend said they are just not convinced yet, take a listen. >> i am hoping to find an answer to the question is there another way to halt halt -- hold assaad accountable. this is what the international community wants to do. we want to hold him accountable. we want there to be some consequences. what is that? is that just going to war? is that bombing? is that kill

. >> i want to refer to comments from congressman mike rodgers who heads up the house intelligence committees concerned about the changes. this is no time to retreat, is that how you view it? >> absolutely, correct. the idea that somehow by being nicer, we are going to step back from a war footing means we are not going to defend ourselves. and with this kind of operation requires taking up the defensive and when you give up grouped like in iraq it makes it far more difficult to make sure america's enemies don't get a foot hold. >> it is interesting developments. and we'll see as we continue to see the threats around the globe. colonel north good to see you. >> and a new controversy over imminent domain has beach storms destroyed by super storm sandy and the families and victims of a kenyan mall say good bye, a global hunt is under way for a fugitive that played a role in the massacre. and the incredible story of two brothers lost at sea clinging to a life raft and then they are rescued. >> i thought we were going to do i and both are going to leave us. >> you got to be kidding, really, this

>> well, alex, i think that a lot of republicans who have been with the president on syria, mike rodgersrman of the house intelligence committee from michigan, john mccain and lindsey graham, really do see this as a proxy war. they think the president is getting played by putin. democrats are breathing a sigh of relief that this sort of kicks the can down the road, allows them to avoid taking a tough vote. republicans who have supported the president are very, very skeptical of this. they don't think it's going to work. they think this is just buying time until november. this is really united republicans who have been divided over what to do about syria. >> eleanor, do you think this deal has given russia too much of an influence over a region where they previously had a very small footprint? >> depends how you define the size of their footprint. they've been basically backing the assad regime, providing him with money and weapons. i think they've had some considerable leverage over this particular civil war. i think much of the coverage has been like a horse race. you know, who's up, wh
