earlier, mullen and pickering

ambassador admiral mullen was chairman of the chief of staff's. these are men who did not mince any words. they did not hedge. there were is candid and direct, and i think this report is a quality report. i think the state department can take pride in it. i think the country is well served by the process that was put in place. secretary clinton said she would do this, and it would be a completely on varnished appraisal, and that is exactly what it is. i think she and the administration deserves credit for doing what was required, and for really going to great lengths to make sure this was a very good presentation. >> what administrative action is being taken inside the state department as a result? >> everything the report has suggested has been embraced by the state department, and more. secretary clinton has set out additional measures that she thinks can contribute to the advancing the interests that are set out in the report itself. that will become clearer tomorrow. secretary burns will, -- will report to the committee in an open session and

then ask admiral mullen to be the vice chairman.amazing what a pleasure it was to work with the admiral and all the members of the board. in particular, he brought a special perspective and wisdom and good sense to a very difficult and trying process. there are three other members of the board were not with us today. but without whom this report would not have been possible. catherine bertini, a professor of public administration at syracuse university, and former chief executive of united nations world food program, undersecretary general for management of the united nations. richard shimek, a retired from the service officer who served as interim director of the bureau of overseas building operations, and hugh turner. an experienced and retired senior intelligence officer who spent 22 years in the business and served last of the associate deputy director. also to an excellent state department staff led by ssl [inaudible name] who made a major contribution to our work and without whom we would be here with you today. secretary clin

not sure if chris mullen was at the game but he would not have liked what happened to his alma mater. that is st. john's coach steve navin. big local name. usf second half is what breaks it open. tim dirkson dualing. the end parker 28 points driving to secure the victory and that was the end for st. john's 81-65. and at the end an east bay product and i don't know if you guys know how he got his name but he was the last of 10 children mom named him daend. >> you can't make that up. >> that's a true story. >> daend. that's it. thank you for trusting ktvu.com. the news continues at 4:30. >> we will be following a shooting with multiple victimless. v ictimless -- victims.

thank you, admiral mullen. it's always a great pleasure for me to be here with john warner and ike skelton, two individuals i have enormous respect for. and i'm not sure my role is to introduce either one of them, but, john, are you next or is ike next? ike's next? well, ike, it's a great pleasure to be here with you. ike skelton. [applause] >> thank you, sam. pete peterson, thank you or for your vision in putting this effort together. you could not have a better chairman than admiral mike mullen, and his leadership in the past has been outstanding, and it will continue to be outstanding through this effort. the late barbara tubman, historian, author, once wrote a book entitled "march of folly" where she talked about how certain countries took action and measures that were contrary to the interests of their own country. i think that we are close to writing another chapter for barbara's book should we go into sequestration and not have this challenge before us settled and settled properly. i have spent some 34 y

operator kurt brooks and i was there with chris mullen a photographer and another feed producer. what happened was -- when we got there, we were trying to figure out the scene. it was very chaotic. the entire world seemed to have descended really right on newtown. it was really kind of crazy. what happened was we got there and people were distraught. people didn't know where to go but it was the second day when things got a little bit crazy. what happened was we got there and the second day people learned the names. that's when we learned the name of the 26 people who passed away, 20 of them children, 6 and 7 years old. i want to play for you now really what stayed with me most. i talked to a man, a teacher. listen to this. >> oh, my god. oh, it can't be possible.

. >> wednesday, admiral mike mullen and thomas pickering spoke about the report they offered on september 11 attack in benghazi, libya to cut u.s. ambassador christina and three other americans. the report cited systemic failures, leadership and management efficiencies and inadequate security at the conflict facility. three state department officials including eric boswell, assistant secretary of state in diplomatic security have resigned in the wake of the report. next, senators on the foreign relations committee who received the report speak to reporters. how not [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible] >> my understanding is that the standard with which the accountability board looks at people is a very high standard called breach of duty. but there's no question that there were people within the state department that were missed and did not execute in an appropriate way. there is also some cultural issues and i mean, there were no doubt a number of problems. i would just say to that end, i know that secretary clinton was unable to be able to testify in an open s

ambassador thomas pickering and retired admiral mike mullen the former chief of staff. the one link we don't have still is the administration, the white house, in terms of the requests that we know came through from ambassador chris stevens for more security in benghazi. you know, what are the big holes in the story that you believe need to be filled in by somebody who would be privy to all that information? >> well, you just hit the heart of the story and that is why the administration would put susan rice on the point of the spear on the sunday after the attacks with information that i don't think they believed to be totally krefpblgt and now we know it's not correct at all. that is the most important reason the secretary should testify, and we owe the american people the facts and all the facts. >> we of. martha facts. martha: we all understand an illness and the time to recover for secretary of state hillary clinton. and we hope she does that in a quick way it does seem odd in terms of susan rice that hillary clinton wasn't available that

admiral mullen pointed out, the more diplomacy is cut, the more lives are lost. we have to make certain that we are not penny-wise and pound- foolish when it comes to supporting america's vital overseas interests. adequately funding foreign- policy initiatives is not spending, but investing in our long-term security, and more often or not, it saves far more expensive expenditures in dollars and lives in the conflicts that we fail to see or avoid. we need to invest in america's long-term interest in order to do the job of diplomacy in a dangerous world. this report makes that crystal clear. since 1985, i have had the privilege of making official journeys to one trouble spot or another. i have met a lot of our men and women in the foreign services. we sat and talked about the work they do and the lives that they lead. they spent years learning the languages of the country so they can be on the front lines of direct diplomacy. foreign policy, outdoors, as my dad used to call it. when my father served in berlin, i remember my mother looking at the clock in the evenin

it is my pleasure to introduce admiral mike mullen.applause] >> thank you for your leadership on the project, which, as he said, goes back decades. i really do appreciate all of you coming here today in what is a truly critical juncture for our nation in terms of our national security. our economic viability and continuing leadership role overseas. it was in response to a reporter's question more than two years ago that i first linked these concerns. asking simply, what is the greatest threat. i got asked that all the time. i entered into words. our debt. i think i surprised him. today, 15 former senior national security officials who served across eight presidential administrations, have formed a coalition to stress the need for elected officials to act. not only has the passage of time exacerbated some of these problems, it has revealed an equally dangerous political one. our inability to grapple with fiscal challenges represents nothing less than a crisis in our democratic order. compounding the instability and unpredictability in t

you could not have a better chairman and then admiral mike mullen.eadership has been outstanding and will continue to be a standing through this effort. the late barbara tuchman, historian, author, once wrote a book entitled "march of folly, " which talked about how certain countries took action and measures that were contrary to the interests of their own country. i think that we are close to writing another chapter for that both should we go into sequestration and not have this challenge before us. -- settled then settled properly. i have spent some 34 years in congress. i worked well with the gentlemen on the stage, and i can tell you good stories about sam nunn and john warner, and how we worked out some very difficult issues, that we got them done. i think sam is absolutely right -- it is a matter of political will. let me say that the alternative of not producing a solution to this debt crisis, the so-called , would bring about the sequestration, the slicing of the military right in half. that would be a disaster in many respects. across the wo

admiral mullen, as we know, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. i think that their backgrounds, their service to the country showed up starkly in the quality of the boards report, and i want to thank them for their extraordinary service to our country and i want to thank secretary clinton who appointed them, who selected them. the report pulls no punches. it tackles head on many of the questions we've been asking. the report makes 29 recommendations in total, five of which are classified. secretary clinton has embraced every single one of them, in fact, she's gone above and beyond board's recommendations by taking immediate steps to strengthen security at high threat posts and request from congress the authority to reprogram funds to increase diplomatic security spending by $1.3 billion. you know, in washington where too often we see recommendations of blue ribbon panels ignored, delayed, or deferred as they were for a long time even on the 9/11 commission, i think the secretary's swift action underscores how determined she is to apply the lessons

is it true they were tough in their report, the pickering and mullen report. but in the end are they saying this could have been avoided, really? >> yes, they are. >> if chris stevens wanted to go into a dangerous area, could he have been protected? >> the two phrases that admiral mullen used in the clip that introduced this segment, first there were inadequate sources there. there were requests for more forces. the state department didn't act in a timely way. the bureau which overseas that consulate, that mission, didn't act in a timely way. and the forces were grossly inadequate. an unusual phrase to use. >> partly to save money and partly to rely on the host. we don't have marines at these place. we rely on the libyans. they were not able. they didn't have a national government. they had these local militias that ran -- they have video for instance. >> why did you think it was safe going in there? >> that was part of his dna. he had been in benghazi during the entire civil war before he was ambassador. but we saw -- we had videos shown last week to the sena

to quote at arnall mullen again, he said the pentagon budget was basically doubled in the last decade and in doubling the ability to prioritize to make the decisions to deutsch analyses to make trades. we also need a review of the defense strategy that makes sure that we are preparing for the threats and risks of the 21st century, not those of the past. the efforts on the longest lines to help advance the best ideas for improving our defense strategy. earlier this year, we've funded the project by the simpson center that brought together 15 defense experts to examine our strategic defense priorities in some detail and how they should be reformed. today we announce a new coalition for the fiscal and national security. the coalition chaired by admiral mullen includes national's senior security if the defense and economic from both republican and democratic administrations stretching back to more than 30 years as well as leaders in the congress and putting some very distinguished gentleman here today. all served the nation with distinction, and they are joining together now to say very c

her name was peg mullen. she wrote a book about the death of her son, michael mullen. the name of the book was "friendly fire." norman schwartzkopf was the battalion commander. he was so approachable to peg mullen, so human in his relations with peg mullen, who sought to find out how her son was killed in vietnam. he died from friendly fire, which, you know obviously meant he was killed within the confines of his own unit by shrapnel from american weapons fired. it was so impressive to read about then a colonel later to become norm an schwartzkopf general "time" magazine's man of the year who was so human. just that clip we just showed right then compared to a lot of military officials who we see on tv. an actual human being would could say i hope i don't make a mistake. things like that. interesting, at least to me. >> i think very interesting. i grew up -- i was in high school in part of the anti-vietnam protest, so he was a symbol. you kind of respected him. as you grew holder, you learned that you can politically be different and still respect the man. he was the k

mullens was gunned down late tuesday night riding her bicycle.her family said he was making a quick trip to the store. they say she was confronted while on an errand. >> i just hate it had to happen to her like that. she loved her family. anything that we needed if we had dinner she was at salad girl. she would make the big salads and bring them. it's just wrong. it's wrong. >> mullens was reportedly seen arguing with a man and a woman before the shooting. she was a care giver and had six brothers and sisters. >>> time now 6:25. one senator asking questions about how much money is spent by the department of homeland security. oklahoma snort tom coburn -- specifically he questioned this. a feature of the summit called the zombie apocalypse. organizers say it was a mass casualty activity exercise but according to senator coburn's report more than $3 billion has been spent on homeland security since 2003. >>> just when labor negotiations were looking positive all hope for saying the nhl season appears to be lost. talks in new york broke down last ni

earlier, mullen and ptakering briefed members of key house and senate committees in private. lawmakers on both sides endorsed the findings.ke >> there was a breakdown in benghazi on september 11 that is stark and challenging to all of usn public life. >> clearly, there were very poo judgments being made within the state department. there was a failure of leadership. >> brown: in a letter that accompanied the full report, secretary of state hillary clinton called it "a clear-eyed look at serious, systemic challenges that we have already begun to fix." ix she said she accepted all of the recommendations. the report did not single out specific individuals, but three state department security officials resigned today. and last week, u.n. ambassador susan rice removed her name for consideration to become secretary of state. she'd been heavily criticized by republicans for not iediately calling the incident a terrorist attack.ed there will be more tomorrow, as deputyecretaries of stateri ndlliam burnsnd thomas nides testify at house and senate hearings. >> brown: for more i'm joine

there's more security around tom brokaw then admiral mullen. [laughter] so are we the next greatest generation? as the lead author of this project i would say we are prepared for greatness. we served in unique ways. we bled and lost class late -- classmates and subordinates and seniors on the battlefield and you see this in the book. it changes the way you want to serve at home. how do the world war ii generation do it? they said the ultimate sector fice, they came home and read engine of progress for this nation or the latter part of the century. week, the 2.5 million veterans who were coming home in the years to come are prepared for good things, for great things, to lead our country in uniform and out and you will see for those great stories in the latter part of our book. and in closing, the greatest generation in the 20th century lives through the great depression and fought a two-front war. our generation faced a faceless enemy and return to to a country and economic turmoil. we aspire to be the next greatest generation showing humility a

admiral mullen, as we know, was the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. i think that their backgrounds, their service to our country showed up starkly in the quality of the board's report, and i want to thank them for their extraordinary service to our country, and i want to thank secretary clinton who appointed them, who collected them. the report pulls no punches. it tackles head on many of the questions that we've beens asking. the report makes 29 recommendations in total, five of which are classified. secretary clinton has embraced every single one of them. in fact, she's gone above and beyond the board's recommendations by taking immediate steps to strengthen security at high-threat posts and requests from congress the authority to reprogram funds to increase diplomatic security spending by spend 1.3 billion. in washington where too often we see the recommendations of blue ribbon panels ignored, delayed or de23ered as they were for a long time on even the 9/11 commission, i think the secretary's swift action underscores how determined she is to apply

that is former chairman joint chiefs, admiral mike mullen. the bullet points from the report.onstration. prior to that attack. al-qaeda is not dead. there is a new safe nabor eastern lib yeah. systemic failures at the senior levels of the state department when it came to security, also administration relied on libya militia, outside contractors on the security. that was fault and 20 security related incidents prior to 9/11 attack should have been seen as far as warning. back with the panel. charles, you thoughts on this report? >> it's devastating. only on one aspect of what happened before. but it shows security denied. it shows that there were no preparations it shows also more broadly a complete sort of lack of understanding what was happening in the region; which was, north africa becoming infiltrated by al-qaeda. extremely insecure area. and they ended up doing nothing. the real question for the secretary of state is where were you when it was going on in real time? what were your ordinarys? but she is suffering from acute benghazi allergy, causing lightheadedness when sh

they say the fbi's looking into -- it's not just admiral mullen. apparently, there have been several hacking attempts, some successful, mom not, on -- some not, on former officials who work on their potential computers. but in the case of admiral mullen, it was on the grounds of the u.s. naval academy, but that doesn't matter. they break into the computer from, you know, around the world. it's not like they have to sneak on to the naval academy to access his computer, it's just that his computer is, i guess, more exposed than those at the naval academy. >> there are applications out there. if the admiral clicked on the wrong thing and got something installed -- now, these utilities are self-extracting, self-installing utilities that gives anybody remote access to that laptop no matter where it sits. megyn: i know they do this in general to random people, but how do they know which computer is admiral mullen's and where it's sitting? >> it's all social engineering. maybe they knew something, they broke into a computer -- here's the most disturbing p

but i have got great respect for admiral mullen and i appear with colonel hunt. he was making a point that nobody disagreed with. you are not going to put military assets in place next to ali threat operating environments but we had so is much information lead gd up to the 9/11 anniversary on this attack there was no reason why assets shouldn't have been closer and i keep going back to the same point. >> judge jeanine: quick before we -- >> in the white house situation room as they were watching this unfold the idea that the president and the secretary of defense would not look at each other and say we have got to try. we are the ones who try and we didn't. >> judge jeanine: and that really is the shame of it. one last question, colonel hunt, what did you think of that report? >> i thought it was unnecessary. i thought -- >> judge jeanine: one word. >> it was poorly written. it was just wrap. >> judge jeanine: mike, one word? >> yeah, statement of the obvious. >> judge jeanine: that is one. >> that's it. >> judge jeanine: all right, guys, thanks so much. colonel

pickering and admiral mullen today.ou're not the folks who should be here because you are really part of the decision-making process. for what i'm trying to understand, but i can't get my mind wrapped around is everybody says this is unstable and highly volatile area. and why for god's sake would we take out the best trained people we have? why did we move to team? was it because of money? >> as you're aware that we spoke about earlier -- >> is just yes or no. >> no. >> patinkin out of the department of defense budget, right? >> as you are aware, it was in tripoli, not benghazi. >> i'm aware or lieutenant colonel was had a two state fair. they had made to stay there. ms. lam said it wasn't because of the money they couldn't say. someone made a really bad decision. i don't have any idea of the voting registration of ambassador stevens, shawn smith, mr. woods, mr. dougherty. i have no idea how many of these folks were registered. for me it's not a matter of a partisan issue. we have four dead americans. i am trying for th

and by april 21st of last year the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff at the time, admiral mike mullen, attended a dress rehearsal with a team of navy s.e.a.l.s at a mock compound they set up in the nevada desert. when did they learn exactly what their mission was and who their target was? >> you have to ask bill mccraven that. they're not idiots. i mean, they knew certainly how critical this was. they knew who they were and who they were working with. >> one week after the rehearsal, the launch window opened up. a favorable forecast and moonless night, essential for an attack by air. they knew it could be months before the next opportunity. on thursday, april 28th the president gathered the small core of planners in the situation room to debate the choices one last time. you had a couple up options, doing nothing, an air-raid with no evidence of after action or proof of death or this. you were against this mission as they launched it, correct? >> as i pointed out early on, there was no consensus. the president got us all down in the situation room, and he said, okay, basically roll ca

admiral mullen had this to say. >> while we did not find that any individual u.s.ernment employee engaged in willful misconduct or knowingly ignored his or her responsibilities, we did conclude that certain state department bureau level senior officials in critical positions of authority and responsibility in washington demonstrated a lack of leadership and management ability appropriate for senior ranks in their responses to security concerns posed by the special mission. >> a total of four senior state department officials have either resigned or placed on administrative leave in the wake of this report but what about secretary of state hillary clinton. she's in charge and she initially took the fall. >> i take responsibility. i'm in charge of the state department. 60,000 plus people all over the world, 275 posts. the president and the vice president certainly wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. they're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs, and make a considered decision. >> join

. >> one of them, of course, the co-leader is retired admiral mike mullen. he was just briefing at the state department. i want to play a little bit of that. >> the question is not simply whether an additional number of agents would have made a difference on the night of september 11th, which is very difficult to answer, but whether a sustained and stronger staffing platform in benghazi over the course of 2012 could have established some deterrence by giving it the continuity and experience on the ground to make it a harder target for terrorists. >> let me ask you a question about that, because they did build up a bit, but there was a constant rotating, as admiral mullen said, of diplomatic security officials in and out. i have a thesis here, tell me if i'm wrong, that there was no need, this was not a consulate. in fact, it technically wasn't a consulate, it was a mission, and that the real reason why there wasn't more security and a higher profile was they wanted a low profile because the reason for being in benghazi was having an intelligence listening po

admiral mullen pointed out, the more diplomacy is cut, the more lives are lost. we have to make certain that we are not penny-wise and pound-foolish when it comes to supporting americas vital overseas interests. adequately funding foreign-policy initiatives is not spending, but investing in our long-term security, and more often or not, it saves far more expensive expenditures in dollars and lives in the conflicts that we fail to see or avoid. we need to invest in america's long-term interest in order to do the job of diplomacy in a dangerous world. this report makes that crystal clear. since 1985, i have had the privilege of making official journeys to one trouble spot or another. i have met a lot of our men and women in the foreign services. we sat and talked about the work they do and the lives that they lead. they spent years learning the languages of the country so they can be on the front lines of direct diplomacy. foreign policy, outdoors, as my dad used to call it. when my father served in berlin, i remember my mother looking at the clock in the evening w

this report has been done by two senior experienced people, tom pickering and admiral mike mullen, anddications are that it is really going to be very tough on the state department. hillary clinton has to defend this and present it to congress. >> well, andrea, i don't have a preliminary indication of what the report was saying, but i think secretary clinton would drae grae to testify publicly, but there are obviously congress has an obligation i think they have chosen to highly objective non-political, non-partisan people in tom pickering, ambassador tom pickering, and admiral mike mullen, and we'll see what the report says, but clearly the administration does need to deal with these issues before we get to 2013 and the president's inauguration. >> and one of the questions that is being examined is all of the warnings and the incident -- there were five separate incidents that preceded the fatal attack -- whether or not we have to have a whole different attitude towards either securing these outposts, which are not official embassies -- this wasn't even an official consulate -- or bet

chaired by long-time diplomat thomas pickering and former chairman of the joint chiefs admiral mike mullene on the u.s. for being unable to foresee that attack and being unable to protect against that attack squarely on the u.s. state department. and so somebody totally unrelated to that expect be secretary of state now? i don't understand. republican senators after the election decided that the person they wanted to attack for benghazi was somebody who had nothing to do with that attack, nothing to do with embassy security, diplomatic security, not even somebody who works at the state department. but she was somebody who the president was considering nominating for secretary of state. she was the u.n. ambassador. well, susan rice last week withdraw her name from consideration for the secretary of state job because of republican senators' unrelenting criticism of her on the basis of benghazi. today the long-awaited accountability report on that attack reiterates that she had no role, no responsibility for what went wrong there whatsoever. because of who the report did find responsible, thr
