and, she was the one who made the comment that mike rogers was reacting to.aid she believed the attack on the embassy, or the consulate, in benghazi, was spontaneous and that it then spun out of control and escalated. but, in the rest of his answer to that question, mike rogers says, look, it seemed to be an extremely well coordinated attack. you can talk about what was the spark but it certainly seems that there were terror groups, radical groups, that took advantage of the situation to launch a very highly coordinated commando raid, if you will, on the consulate and to sut slaught -- slaughter those four americans. >> jamie: and, mike rogers and other members of congress were speaking out since it happened, saying they were briefed not only on the benghazi installation and other places, and did he think the white house responded too quickly with the assessment since the fbi is involved in the investigation at this point? >> we got less into the second question but i certainly asked about whether or not it should have been better prepared and he said that is

mike rogers tells cbs -- prophet muhammad. mike rogers tells cbs news it's mightily likely the attack was -- mighty likely the attack was fueled by elements of al-qaeda. >> reporter: a trashed building is all that remains after the attack that killed four americans including ambassador chris stevens. >> the world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts. >> reporter: tuesday night a mob armed with guns and rocket propelled grenades stormed the building. it's being investigated whether groups with ties to al-qaeda planned the attack. >> make no mistake. we will work with the libyan government to bring to justice the killers who tachyed our people. >> reporter: -- who attacked our people. >> reporter: secretary of state hillary clinton said ambassador stevens risked his life to help build a letter bib ya and that libyans helped -- libya and that libyans helped get his body to the hospital. there was a protest against an obscure american made film against islam. the embassy released a statement condemning the

up mechanics, house intelligence chairman mike rogers is here. >>> i'm joined now by chairman mike rogers for being here. stoo huh for having me back. >> tell me what we now know about what happened in benghazi in the murder of those four americans? >> there's still a little bit of confusion, but it's very clear, as even i said last week, this had to be a preplanned event. we know it was an act of terrorism. i think the administration has come to the conclusion it's an act of terrorism now. we had two separate events. you see what's playing on now with people trying to get their militias under control, which those -- that's been a huge problem. i think this is more than that. this is clearly a specific attack on our u.s. embassy, and it kills a u.s. -- well, that's still unclear. there's still some indication that they may have, in fact, known the ambassador was either there or in the area at the time of the attack, but 9/11 is probably more important to that equation hand even the ambassador. i do think this was wildly successful even beyond their dreams to be able to kill, you know, the

the chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike rogers, is standing by.s got -- he's been fully briefed on what's going on. mr. chairman, thanks very much for coming in. >> thanks, wolf. thanks for having me. >> based on what you have been told and all the information you have what you can share with our viewers here in the united states and around the world, first of all, who did this? who killed these four americans? >> the actual identity we're still working through the final details of exactly. i think we're getting close to being able to identify the group that is responsible for this. but it is -- it was clearly a well-coordinated attack that was specifically planned to do and accomplish what you saw unfortunately unfold in benghazi. >> was it an al qaeda-led or inspired operation? >> you can tell by the signature there in the -- for months we've seen al qaeda looking for western targets. that was all across northern africa. we have seen certain activities that certainly lead you to believe today that it is an al qaeda affiliated group. there are st

susan rice and the house intelligence chair, mike rogers. is all about what happened in foreign pm's this week. you had the ambassador to the u.n., dr. susan rice, to talk about the administration's position on what may have sparked what we saw play out in the middle-east. >> it is intk because jay carney, the white house spokesman said it on friday and ambassador rice backed it up, reinforced it, doubled down on sunday. they say that all of this unrest across the middle-east is all about that video that came out, this obscure video that insults the prophet muhammad, they say it has nothing to do with anti-american feelings and u.s. policies. there are an awful lot of people who question that, but that's the position of the administration. >> shannon: you talked about -- and i know that there is a long ongoing investigation. we will have to wait for the results. whether this was a coordinated, planned attack or a spontaneous protest over this or anything else. >> the one in benghazi that killed four americans. we got two opinions. ambassador

as the chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike rogers put it, this was not some folks whos in their garage and said let's go shoot up the country country consulate. four victims. ambassador and foreign services officer named sean smith. he was reportedly an air force veteran. married with two children. according to reports, the american diplomat was also an avid online gamer and a top player of the internet role playing game eve online where he went by the name vile rat. according to the statement department he had been in the field for a decade serving in iraq, canada, south africa and netherlands. he was in libya on temporary assignment. as recently as this morning it appeared to many that the deadly attack in libya was nothing but a violent reaction to that one anti-muslim video from one guy that went viral. of course now as wendell reported there are many indicates that that is not the case. this video itself is an even bigger mystery. the supposed director is a guy named sam busiel. he told the associated press he is an israeli-born writer and that he went into hiding

mike rogers is the chairman of the house intelligence committee. mr. chairman, thank you very much. >> wolf, thanks for having me. >>> now i want to bring in the senior senator from new york state, chuck schumer. thank you very much for coming in. first, what do you make of this decision, this inability for the prime minister of israel, coming to the united states, and he's not going to meet with the president of the united states. what's going on here? >> well, i think that -- look, prime minister netanyahu can reach the president any time he wants. and my guess is, there are just scheduling difficulties and i wouldn't be surprised if they work something out. >> i wouldn't be surprised either. but it does sort of reenforce this notion, some of israel's supporters have doubts about the president of the united states' commitment to support for israel. you heard what mitt romney said not that long ago in his acceptance speech in tampa. listen to this one line that he said. >> president obama has thrown allies like israel under the bus. >> thrown allies l

. >>> joining me congressman mike rogers republican chairman of the house intelligence committee, fbi man. thank you, congressman, for joining us today. your thoughts on the level of debate and the fact that frankly the republican candidate for president, took a stance and said that there was an apology from the -- from the administration and put it at the feet of the president, called it disgraceful when, in fact, that statement from the cairo embassy, whether it was worded well or not, came out six hours before these protests even started. >> well, i do think there's room for discussion in -- after we get through these troubling few days about maybe policies overall and those kinds of discussions and that's probably a fair debate to have in this upcoming election. what we should be focused on now, i think, is the fact that we lost a united states ambassador and what's key about this, we asked these folks to serve in very dangerous places. they are civilians there to represent the united states and just fundamentally try to avoid conflict. so the fact that these folks were deliberate

. >> for cybersecurity, i give the intelligence committee and in the house the german mike rogers and michigan, he's done an excellent job of trying to identify the problems and put together a solution matrix. but where i think the sires security hasn't been quite as robust as it needs to be is one aspect of it and that is the reason the bill hasn't gone anywhere in the senate. if we can address the privacy issues, we agree we need to do a cybersecurity bill. i think it is problematic and it's going to get done in this congress but hopefully we can build on that. >> i want to ask about the spectrum. everybody is talking about what it is now and the of administration we felt -- lead of the plan for the wireless brought abandon ten years but so far it's made relatively little progress. what kind of report card would you give right now in identifying and making more spectrum available for wireless profit? >> i would give them an incomplete. the fact that they acknowledge something needs to be done is a good thing. it's hard to do these things as you know, people in that aspect how they a

it was spontaneous and not preplanned we also had the chairman of house intelligence committee, mike rogershe said it didn't go with what he was hearing, there was to be every reason to think it was a planned attack. it was coordinated. there may have been some coordination with some of the people that were supposed to be protecting our u.s. consulate there. there was a lot more to it. it's not like there was a lot of talk about specific terrorist group in libya and also al-qaeda and al-sharia so the question is political damage control or whether they didn't know any better. we report and you decide. >> jamie: as we always do it sounds like you asked all the right questions. every day there is new intel leaning what they said initially. thank you so much for doing the interview. it is an exclusive. catch his full interview with robert gibbs and also chris has scott walker, an interesting week for him, as well. all of that on fox news sunday at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. today. >> kelly: right now the doctors are getting ready to make the sunday house call for you. your little grocery store ca

house intelligence committee mike rogers says too soon to tell. classified information makes you stop for a minute and cause. whether it was sparked by on-line video rocking prophet mohammed. >> we are of the view that this is not an expression of hostility in the broadest sense toward the united states or u.s. policy. it is a reaction to this video and it is a hateful video that had nothing to do with the united states. if we all rallied behind the i video pe will make diplomatic mistakes if that's the only reason we are showing up at the embassy to conduct acts of violence. >> he says there are too many coincidences the fact that it was the anniversary of 9-11. in view of ambassador write a protest over the video was hijacked by clusters of extremists the fbi trying to sort it all out. now to gregg palkot of tunisia. >> the word we are getting from u.s. embassy officials is many americans already left tunisia this in response to the state department evacuation order for all nonessential staffers and family. the embassy was calm without force not

we heard mike rogers from congress say he thought he didn't know.ll the intelligence i agree with k.t., that it's not the movie but the movie was the spark. you always need a spark that sets things off. i also don't think it's the obama administration's policy as the republicans say. it's neither of those things. it's a fight for the future of their country. its power struggle within these countries and it's going to come out in different ways and different countries. so i don't think it's hard to generalize. >> we do know in libya there were four attacks prior in benghazi on the consulate, but i want to talk more about administration. >> heather: this perceived weakness on the part of america. do you think it presents a problem when we go into the foreign countries, perceived weakness and nothing will be done? >> as somebody who has lived there a lot of their life, i don't think people in egypt are paying a lot of attention to our presidential election. they are worried about where their next meals are going to come from. they are worried about the

bill: also over the weekend congressman mike rogers, chairman of the house intelligence committee and former fbi agent echoed that sentiment. >> the countries of middle east believe there is a disengagement policy by the united states and that lack of leadership there or at least clarity on what our position is causing problems. i, if we all decide to rally around the video as the problem we're going to make a serious mistake and we're going to make i think diplomatic mistakes as we move forward if we think that is the only reason people are showing up at our embassy to conduct acts violence. bill: the romney campaign says the obama administration is failing to throughout that part of the world. heather: there is more trouble brewing between israel and iran as a nightmare scenario could be coming close to reality. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the iran will be the on the brink of nuclear capabilities in just six months. he use ad metaphor to describe the new emergency and claims that iran is developing nuclear power for peaceful purposes. listen to this. >> denies the holocau

that was already under debate because mike rogers was saying i believe this was a terrorist attack inibya and that it was preplanned. and now you've got libyan intelligence sources saying, brad, there weren't even any protests underway at the time this attack took place. so the administration's claim that this was the result of spontaneous protests that turned violent now appears to have a lot of questions surrounding it. >> absolutely. and i believe that this president and the administration gave the excuse that our terrorists needed to step up their efforts in the other countries. we've seen now a dozen countries with the excuse that it's because of this video, and it's unfortunate that our administration has given them the excuse. unfortunately, we're not that excuse. the attacks in libya were done as a premeditation, they were done in my belief because of the 119th anniversary of 9/11 -- 11th anniversary of 9/11. had very little to do with tunisia -- megyn: okay, wait. i want to ask you this, brad, why then -- okay, so with the libyan president who was on the sunday shows as well,

the chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike rogers, telling fox news this was absolutely a coordinated command style raid. with more on this, a resident score lal at the american enterprise institute, the chief political correspondent of the washington examiner, and republican congressman of california, the chair of the armed services committee. congressman, starting with you. you chair this critically important committee. you probably got some inside information today on exactly what happened. what have you learned about the events of the last 24 # hours and is it true that it was all coordinated? >> i haven't had time today to have a briefing on it so i don't know of any new information. i think if chairman rogers has had a briefing, i think his information would be up-to-date and accurate, and i would defer to him that if it was planned, certainly sounded from what i heard it was a planned attack. gerri: amazing. michael, turning to you for a second, and i want to show folks a graphic picture, one probably in your newspaper tomorrow morning, on the web tonight. it's a pi

in fact, those are the words used by the chairman and republican congressman mike rogers tonight.ou look to the two events initially, cairo. broad daylight. mob of about a thousand made no real effort to get into the embassy itself. darkness, a small group about 20 people. heavily armed and clearly planned, and it is increasingly likely according to all of the people we talked to that this was planned a longtime ago. it was planned specifically to happen on the 11th anniversary of 9/11. >> and here we have a media that is obsessed with this crack pot preacher and this bizarre movie that people have watched. if you look on youtube there is just a handful. now there will be tons. this is what bothers me. does it matter if a film was made or not? i make fun of you all the time. >> all the time. >> and you don't kill me. >> i love it when you make fun of me. >> normal people react to, i don't know, insults. we know how to react. what's wrong here? >> to bernie's point, i thought one of the best things about his comments was he wept -- he went and zeroed in on freedom of speech. this i
