that has b been the way of thisf ministration for since the beginning. leeks, leeks, leaks.en out information that is obviously only giving comfort to the enemy. at the end ofhe day there is too much knowledge out there of our tactics and at the end of the day as was mentioned earlier, all they have to wait is two weeks for the indices to open up again and know that these targets are so important we are willing to it shut them down. lou: john mccain, lindsay gramm, the senator in cairo now at the presidents be asked to do what? >> well, ostensibly to try to get some sort of unity governmentormed including the muslim brotherhood, giving the miliary on board. the military is saying, wait a minute. lou: the president's -- >> out. correct. the present of the united states of this administration was so deeply invested in the muslim brotherhood's ascent in egypt and their control in egypt but the fact that the military command on the side of the good guys to remove the muslim brotherhood creating this infamous state in egypt seems to be lost on the president. let me just finish. l

there are many unanswered questions w the obama ministration has ostensibly down next to nothing to trackn the benghazi attackers to, d is now filing sealed court documents against terrorists instead of killing them are capturinghem. the white house is struggling to rationalize its insistence that the threat from al qaeda in the middle east is diminished in face of their order to close facilities and in some instances to evacuate personnel. the state department left today to clarify the president's campaign trail rhetoric about al qaeda being on the run, explaining president obama was then referring to al qaeda in afghanistaand pakistan, not necessarily in yemen or anywhere else. seemingly more intent on further of the station rather than clearly explaining the actions of our government over the past four days. for more on the benghazi charges, we are now joine by general thomas mcinerney, retired us air force general fox news military contribut. great to have you withhis. that starts with -- let's start with the response to what some have claimed is an unparalleled chatter, unparalleled

national security policy says you bomb and ministration doesn't seem to be clear on its own objectives. it is so so difficult to figure out what the administration really thinks that it's doing and seriously though you know it is sometimes stated that we have to do it for humanitarian purposes and sometimes because of international law both of which are highly debatable to say the least in terms of recent history as well as a previous history of u.s. policy and you know it begins to look like the there's a small coterie of people within the administration who have gotten the idea that they want to do something and they have somehow prevailed on the president to do something that he apparently didn't want to do and that presents a real mystery of major proportions. meanwhile syria's neighbors and other regional powers are closing ranks against a possible intervention let's take a look at jordan where the u.s. has an air base or says that they will not let them use their territories as a launch pad for any military action against syria and iraq says it will refuse to provide its air spac

we've seen this with the ministration, the burnout is very quick., going back to wall street? charlie: i cannot say whether or not for that. but this is a guy who has been doing this, and economic advisor for years. less burnout and more maybe i need to make some money. i think tim geithner turned down the job as fed chairman, we're pretty certain he was offered that job. he is actually an advisor helping the president takes the next fed chairman. if they find something in the background check, it doesn't work for wall street. tim geithner telling people he wants to work in the private sector and earn money. that could be the thing with sperling. he may be leaving for the same reasons that bill daly left as chief of staff of the obama administration. those jobs during the obama years become almost secondary when it comes to economic policy because the president leans so heavily. she is the power center of this administration both from a domestic policy standpoint and a domestic economic policy standpoint so those jobs become less important in the sc

what you had will go back to the early ninety's you had you know a budget deficit the clinton ministrations that will get the deficit stone and then we're going to rely on low interest rates to spark growth and then actually did happen but the main impact that low interest rates had in growth in that period was through the stock bubble low interest rates will always lead to a bubble but in that situation they did so that's how we got the stock bubble that bubble burst in two thousand of course we got the recession two thousand and one the fischel story that's a short mild recession in reality we didn't get back the jobs we lost in two thousand and five that was the longest period without job growth we've seen since the great depression up to that point and of course when we did get out of that it was on the back of the housing bubble which again didn't end well exactly do you claim it was actually these bubbles independent of mortgages and related to rivet is that something that's correct well they go hand in hand i mean so so the bubbles were the primary force that's what saying big con to

me and spoke about a case of an ministration wind against predatory lenders. over the past few years we had the department of justice stand up for buyers who had been discriminated against or conned by predatory lending and we won a settlement that gave more money to victims of discrimination in one year than in the previous twenty three years combined. one point five million families received settlements on this housing discrimination case a win for those affected but another housing case obama doesn't want to talk about is the end dependent foreclosure review this case affected four million homeowners who were wrongfully foreclosed on and kicked out of their houses after winning a nine point three billion dollars settlement three federal agencies were tasked with overseeing those funds but the administration failed to provide proper oversight first they spent one point five billion dollars on consulting fees leaving only pennies on the dollar for the damaged homeowners what was left turn into an embarrassing spectacle as many checks bounced and were sent to

when information have comes to the efforts of journalists that because it ministration.ve had a series of a thing can only be described as an embarrassment. lou: amongst those saloon, cable news network's putting pictures invoices of those who carry out attacks. first fox. no one has seen fit to kill or capture those folks who are declaring themselves of the the the ranchers. >> exactly right. lou: this has taken on a level of absurdity by this administration, particularly this justice department, the internal revenue service, benghazi home, the victims of not even been talk to by investigators in new. the process goes on as if an fbi investigation and has become the captain may take a kid in an issue and keep it apart from the american people. >> if you go back and look at the one person whe no has been charged want, he was the one who s found by a new york times reporter back in october, within one month of the attack. this reporter simpson is a drink with him and talked about his role. he denied a room with an ounce to was there. you have others who have been in touch

. >> the obama ministration maintains any strike would be limited, not an open-ended invasion. it strikes go ahead, parallels with the previous presidency will become more tempting. >> it will be a real irony if president obama looks a little like george bush by engaging in a limited military strike in syria. therefore drawing united states deeper into another middle east conflict. >> irony, indeed. the white house indicated it may not wait for the united nations weapons inspectors to return from syria to present findings, emphasizing they will not be swayed by the u.n.. with other allies now saying they will not join any strike, and the united nations security council said to me in a few days -- set to meet in a few days, if washington goes soon it could find itself acting alone. >> the briefing just broke up. has the white house got the backing he needs here at home, if not abroad? like that is a question that will be answered in the coming hours. what we do know is smooth the evidence they presented, they actually said that bashar al- assad's brother may have been involved i

. >> the more we talk about this, it becomes apparent in ministration made the right decision -- the administration made the right decision -- these men have nothing to talk about. >> how do you deal with a country led by a guy like that? there is a lot of internal dissent. >> i do not think this is one of those things you can finesse. russia is to interval to the problems that we are facing the world -- north korea, no help. syria, obstruction. iran, obstruction. on international trade, no help. no help on nuclear nonproliferation. we have to face up to the fact that this is a real problem and it will have to be game on. vladimir putin's take on obama is dangerous. i think is reading a weakness that is allowing him to be very aggressive and if obama does not stand up and push back, the other countries will also take a message from this. it is very important that the united states, in this question with russia, demonstrates it is the stronger power. >> he is not only weak, but naive. i can imagine latimer putin saying who is this guy, he is a lightweight. remember, the reset was appe

congressional leaders that may have already happened during a conference call thursday evening and ministration officials say that they have intelligence that shows the forces loyal to president bashar al assad carried out last week's alleged chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of damascus however critics say that the intelligence that the obama administration does have does not directly tie assad to the alleged chemical weapons attack president obama is reportedly basing his case military action in two ways on two points he says first and foremost he believes the u.s. needs to safeguard international standards against the use of chemical weapons we all remember how he made his statement of chemical weapons use being that red line that can't be crossed and he also says that the use of chemical weapons is a threat to america's national interests and now he believes that syria directly is threat to america's national interests now we should keep in mind that if president obama does order a military strike on syria he would be doing so without congressional approval and lacking approval from th

ministration simply cannot afford to exclude russia from important talks on very important issues. before snowden happens a couple months ago. those issues were very much to do with syria and some foreign policy issues as well as some economic issues that that the u.s. and russia have in common it just seems that this particular snowden affair has unleashed a level of anger in the u.s. government that has that is preventing them from actually doing what they do very well which is to manage foreign policy manage crises and use the press to do that i think it's actually. a very unique and rarely seen a sign of weakness. this reaction is over the top it's quite mild compared to what some u.s. lawmakers want from sanctions to an olympic boycott senators and congressman demand that russia was punished for daring to give snowden asylum but it's actually the subject of our web o'doherty dot com if you haven't taken part with very much i invite you to it's always good to hear what you think about the big stories of the day this is what you're telling us how you think when you get going to

war by a broker we are witnessing a war between saudi arabia the ally of america and american ministration. we are witnessing the lies of iran are involved in this war so there is a war between the two sides the american. vies of this war in a way or another they want to topple the seed of the. long term ago obama obama said several times that these of prison of syria are numbered so i believe that america intervening directly on syria until now but i wouldn't be surprised if they actually. send their own dollars or their own warplanes or encourage israeli to intervene we don't know. but these are you that this is where you could have imagined that you mentioned it's still quite significant because when you an ounce your support for one warring party fairly early in the conflict you change the balance of power and you give god had to your allies in the region to provide weapons so i think i would take an issue with your claim that america is intervening directly because we know that america's role in america stance in the syrian conflict is quite significant and i would have been argued th

people were killed what does that tell us about how they died the next argument to the american ministrations size leaves them in little doubt assad attacked his own people with chemical weapons is the reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured symptoms of course speak for themselves but how does that say exactly who was behind this u.s. intelligence cites witness accounts but is hardly a reliable argument for syria since the beginning of the conflict there almost two and a half years ago h. side has accused the other often acquainted charger while covering events from different cities. but manto or rebel control i often matt and talk to witnesses from both sides whose accounts contradicted one another the truth was never easy to find even on the ground well it would if chemical weapons were used in syria why does it automatically point to the syrian regime isn't that still to be investigated it all appears to be based on assumptions we still believe that they don't have the capability to use chemical weapons that has not changed again we're looking into the facts on the ground but
