we immediately walked upstairs to meet with secretary panetta. then defense secretary leon panetta and general martin dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff were already scheduled to see president obama on different subjects. buck mckeon asked hamm, in your discussions with general dempsey and secretary panetta, was there any mention of a demonstration, or was all of the discussion about an attack? we know hamm testified that a u.s. facility had been attacked and was under attack, and we knew we had two individuals unaccounted for. a veteran of the iraq war pressed the issue. as a military person, i'm concerned someone in the millty would be advising this is a demonstration. i would hope that our millty leadership would be advising this is a terrorist attack. again, sir, ham testified, i think there was some preliminary discussion about, you know, maybe there was a demonstration, but i think of the command, i personally, and the command quickly got to the point that this was not a demonstration. this was a terrorist attack. you would have

bill: would leon panetta know the answer?ed on these transcripts, they fingered it as terrorism and they went to the white house the same afternoon. one would assume they would deliver the information they did. another you heard general ham say. >> as you heard general ham say, calling it a terrorist attack. that's the conversation they had. i'm glad he was forthright coming forward and saying that. bill: this is top secret stuff and it's now declassified. how much more is coming out? >> the bulk of it has been released. i haven't gone through the whole thing to know if they are still holding some back. so we'll wait and see. but there may be more. >> we are out of time. brad wenstrup. thank you, congressman from >> what investigators are preparing to do 7 years after the disease persons of madeleine mccann. bill: an update on the southwest airlines flight landing at the wrong runway. miles from its destination. bill: 25 past the hour. the pilots holland that southwest airlines flight at the wrong airport have been ground. an

but that offer was rejected by secretary leon panetta. and so what exactly is africom?frican command. well, africa is huge, of course the much larger than most of us realize. and it is the second biggest continent after asia and so large that could contain the united states and mexico and china and india and japan all of europe. but the u.s. africa command is as minimal as africa is best. africom consists of only 2000 personnel including military and civilian employees and contractors. the headquarters is in germany were 1500 of the personnel are from the space. the army elements are based upon italy and the u.s. navy ships are saying that the marine contingent is shared with marine corps forces in europe. located in germany at the airbase. we thought you might like a little bit more context. turning now to a rant. lawmakers on capitol hill expressing doubts about a deal with iran to slow its nuclear weapons program. representing the framework on how to implement a six-month nuclear dear in november. and it would go into effect next monday, january 20. under that agreem

leon panetta's, that it was, quote, a terrorist attack. despite all of that, that we've now learned and seen in writing this week, this is what we've hed from the president and his team for weeks after. >> there is no doubt that the kind of weapons that were used, the ongoing assault, that it was not just a mob action. >> uh-huh. >> but now, we don't have all the information yet. and so we're still gathering it. >> we've seen rage and violence directed at american embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with. >> we have no information to suggest that it was a pre-planned attack. the unrest we've seen around the region has been in reaction to a video. >> in fact, this was not a pre-planned premeditated attack. that what happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo, as a consequence of the video. >> former presidential speech writer and american enterprise fellow and a columnist for "the washington post." and so these conclusions tonight, mark, puts the blame squarely

and i hope that leon panetta, who's writing a book, will wait. jane to leon, please wait. >> would you write a book while you were still there? >> marvin fritz told me you should not write a book that your boss has to answer to while he's in office. and i wouldn't write a book while he's in office. look, gates made his own decision. let me address the politics of this. i think if you look at every national security decision that surrounded 13 meetings on afghanistan, there one decision that if you looked at where the american people were in putting another 33,000 american troops in afghanistan that was even remotely politically popular. the war right now is as unpopular as anything going in america right now. the notion that the president -- and i think this is why, again, it's maddeningly self-contradictory, gates puts in front of the fact that somehow that politics was drive deg situation, yet each and every decision the president made was absolutely

panetta tells on the report the day it happened. there he is smiling at you you know him.? >> because that was consistent with director petraeus said and as the committee said, that was consistent with what the intelligence committee was saying. >> that's not what panetta said. >> again, but, no, you are look at the report and that's what they said. >> i don't care about the blood were report. you don't know the answer to that question and i don't. >> why are you covering the report if you don't care about it. >> i'm not covering the report. i'm asking two simple questions and you can't answer the first one. >> i'm giving you the april. >> no, i want the answer from you, carville. >> her answer was consistent with what we're told in the report. >> don't be boring. you are getting boring. don't be boring. okay. second question. >> okay. >> hillary clinton told by the cia you need more security in libya and ben imeaz in particular. she doesn't order it. why not? >> well, first of all. >> no, no no first of all. why doesn't she order it. >> because -- again, she was not told

these two issues, i think leon panetta appears to the white house and the dni loss. >> it was a very public and tony blair who is dni at the time on a basically the power to appoint station chiefs, effectively the most important cia person. he wanted that to be in. >> he did indeed do this is where the book tries to get into some of the vagaries of the statute in that we didn't really consider or debate very much in 2004 the relationship between the cia and the director of national intelligence. this came to be one of the chief thorns in the side of the dni going forward. and the blair episode, he publicly appealed and lost the issue. everyone knew he had thought leon panetta on these two issues that have came out on the losing side. so people in washington notice. people noticed the new director of national intelligence has lost an important issue and something that appealed to the white house on. i think it hurt the dni's authority. >> going forward, is this personality dependent, depending who the dni is because he or she will have to, in his own, operate by consensus? or basicall

panetta was, quote, unequivocal that benghazi was a terrorist attack.lluminating as they are, still leave unresolved how and when did the false narrative about a protest that never occurred originate, and why did leon panetta say nothing publicly for up to two weeks to correct it? we reached out to panetta yesterday and got no comment, the subcommittee still wants him back to testify again. jon and jenna? jon: james rosen reporting from washington, thank you. jenna: now to our other big story, some brand new information from the white house showing obamacare enrollment off the mark by a wide margin, raising serious concerns among insurance companies. the department of health and human services says 18-34-year-olds account for just 24% of totallen rollment. the white house hoped that number would be closer to 40% because those so-called invincibles are needed to sustain the law financially. just over two million people have currently signed up for coverage, but the obama administration is aiming for seven million by the end of march. peter doocy's live a

you have already been critical of gates, and even former defense secretary lyon panetta because they criticized syria and russia last year. you said their behavior was unprofessional and unseemly. you really think he should not be writing about his experiences while the president is in obvious?--in office? >> well, certainly he should not be saying some of the things. for example, joe biden has been wrong about all foreign policies the last 40 years. that's not true. he was right about the balkans and the first gulf war and what would happen in iraq. it would fall apart. saying these things, and secretary clinton said she really didn't mean it. that's not the type of stuff, that's beneath him, beneath the office, and most of his predecessors. melvin laird, he waited for 30 years after he left to write an about, you know, what went on. so iris van who resigned when president carter was going to try to rescue the hostages in iran never went out and criticized him. more than that, if he didn't like it, why did he stay? why didn't he speak up? what about his obligation to the men and wom

within 18 minutes, general de dempsey and leon panetta were told by general ham about the attack. within an hour, 11:00 p.m., there's a meeting with president obama, general dempsey, and secretary of defense, leon panetta, so obama is made aware of that at 11:00 p.m. benghazi time. 1:45 a.m., ambassador stevens is declared dead. two hours and 15 minutes later, woods and doherty are declared dead as well. 10:00 a.m., the bodies of ambassador stevens, shawn smith, tyrone woods, and glen doherty are flown from benghazi to andrews air force base. jay carney was asked about the new revelations in the briefing room a few hours ago. >> for many days hour, the president, but you specifically at the podium said we did not know if it was a terror attack. why if the military leaders testified to capitol hill it was a terror attack almost immediately, why did you say that? >> of course it was an attack. the facility was attacked. there was never any doubt about -- come on, ed. i know there's a desire here to color outside the lines, but this is not factual. >> coloring outside the lines. list

secretly leon panetta, because they criticised the president on syria and russia, and you said their behaviour was unprofessional and unseemingly. do you think he shut not write about his experiences while the president is in office? >> certainly he should not say some of the things. for example, joe biden has been wrong about every foreign policy issue for the last four years. it's not true. he's write about the balkans and the first gulf war, and right about what is happening in iraq, that it would fall apart. the idea of what he says is not true. and revealing these things, secreta secretary clinton said he didn't mean it. it's beneath him and the offices. others wait for 30 years to write about what happened. sir us vance who resigned when president carter was going to rescue the hostages in iran never went out and criticised them. if he didn't like it, why did he stay, why didn't he speak up. what about his obligations to the men and women he talks about so movingly in the book, if that's how he felt. i'll give you an example where he is dead wrong. obama, when he announced he'd

to the extend you can, what did george -- what did the director panetta 0 say to you? >> it's a pretty good story. the night that chairman rogers had formally assumed the chairmanship of the house intelligence committee in january 2011. i had been selected as staff director. and leon panetta invited chairman rogers out to dinner in the private dining room on the seventh floor of the central intelligence agency. i got to go along as his staffer. i assumed it was a shrewd way of the cia director beginning to build relationship with someone who had oversight responsibility over the agency. and as we work to the dinner i expected to go back and have a nice dinner. we were immediately beckoned to leon's office. he us sit at the conference table, which was strewn with pictures that were all now familiar compound in pakistan. he had at the table also two of the top five analyst on the case and able to lay out for chairman rogers. a detailed update. i think we found blood. here are the reasons we think that. and some of the biggest intelligence questions facing the government.

and general ham went to far as to say that was the conversation that i had and secretary panetta andre they went in to advise the white house. the next day, jay carney said from all the information we had, this is called a demonstration. and i can't believe that secretary panetta would have gone into the white house then and said we had a demonstration go out of control when that was never there conversation. so i was relieved -- >> what you're saying is at the pentagon, ham said he told martin dempsey and the defense secretary both in a meeting, they were both together, and then those two guys go over to the white house with this information in their heads supposedly that it was a terrorist attack? but that's not what then came out. >> but that's not what we got the next day. and jay carney said the next day from all the information we've gathered that this is a demonstration. >> what do you think happened? >> well, that's what we would like to know, right? we would like to know who was in the room that made the decision that they were going to come out and say to the american peopl

the president, hillary, and panetta and the joint chiefs of staff. they all for new it was a terse attack because he reported it that way. four camene of those up with this stupid video concept when we already know he was a terrorist attack by al , or whatever they want to call it, but it was al qaeda groups that attacked that embassy. and he just got done one hour earlier having dinner with the turkish ambassador who had left. itself,atch on c-span they had gregory hicks on their and they also had the lady who forin charge of security the secretary or the state department, and she said that money was not an issue for security for this embassy -- endeavor was it an issue. thank you. host: thank you. michael, independent caller. what are your thoughts? caller: i want to set the record straight. the two buildings in libya were embassies. -- weren't embassies, there were cia compounds used to do a deal to buy back missiles from the rebels. the rebels were not happy with the price are offered. they were insulted. that is why the attacks occurred. of the

a question from alex panetta of the canadian press. >> my question is on a bilateral matter, a canada-u.ssue, the keystone pipeline. last february's secretary kerry you said you were hoping to be in a position to offer a decision on keystone in the near future. it's been almost a year. since then the canadian government has said it wouldn't take no for an answer on keystone. this week york canadian interlocutor is in washington and has repeatedly asked for the decision because apparently the uncertainty is becoming untenable in the oil industry. so i would ask you to answer your canadian friend. >> i always answer my canadian friend that i have to do it according to our administrative process and the rules and regulations of which i operate and i think he understands that. we are currently engaged in the environmental impact statement analysis and an analysis will be made with respect to the national interest ultimately and we are just not at that point yet. i haven't received it. they haven't finished it. there were a lot of questions that were raised in all the public comment period and

lou: leon panetta regarded as a man of integrity and considerable respect in washington. he has been very care fall in some of his answers -- and at the same time inmated, at least as i listened to him, that there is far more involved here. do you think it would be possible to get that he would be forth coming on who was in the room? >> i -- he is someone i would like to talk to. this is not about politics, this is about the protection of the american people that served this country, this is about doing the right thing, this is about truth and honesty with the american people from a high level. that is what we want to engagement i would hope in his twilight years he would want to come forward. lou: i agree with all you said. but i believe one purpose of the investigation has to be making this thing right, that means holding people accountable. >> it does make a difference, someone said what difference does it make, it does, it makes a difference to those who suffers and served, and the people who lost families. lou: congressman brad win strup. >> my pleasure, thank you. >

panetta was one of the people calling this an "attack." i would have to assume he had some access to the administration and their decision-making process on what they were going to report about this particular event. >> and leon panetta is regarded by republicans as well as democrats, as a man of integrity and a man with considerable respect in washington. he has been very careful in some of his answers and at the same time, intimated, at least as i listen to him, that there's far more involved here. do you think it would be possible to get -- that he would be forthcoming on who was in the room? >> i would hope so. he's somebody that i would like to talk to. this isn't about politics. this is about the protection of the american people that served this country. this is about doing the right thing. this is about truth and honesty with the american people from a high level. and that is really what we want to engage in. i would hope that in his twilight years he would want to come forward and be forthright with the american people. >> congres

panetta and mr.empsey, they met moments later with the president of the united states. >> we're to believe now based on these documents that this was the military consensus. this had been a terrorist attack, and, of course, famously then days later, susan wright went on the surprised talk shows, that we've seen many times, she portrayed this as a situation that got out of control on video. it was seven weeks to the election, it had unmistakable cover-up. as you recall, i did say it was a terrorist attack the day after, it was in the rose garden, we're not going to be cowed by. a very general way that was not in direct reference to this episo episode. but even weeks later, you remember on the view, was this a terrorist attack? we're still investigating, well, the impression was made at the time, and i -- now it becomes utterly clear that he was told from the outset that it was a terrorist attack. there are reasons for not disclosing that information. we don't want to scare the public. we want to cross

do you know when and why the panetta review group was disbanded? >> senator, first of all i respectfully but vehemently disagree with your characterization of the cia's cooperation with this committee. i am fully prepared to come forward to this committee at any time to request my appearance to talk about that study. and i think related to the issue that you just raise in terms of the question, all committee members are received is some information that i have provided recently to the chairman of vice chairman on this issue and i look forward to addressing these matters with the committee at the appropriate time and not a say threat assessment. >> thank you, mr. brennan. i believe that's appropriate. >> actually come it doesn't fully answer the question. and i'm not sure i do know actually when and why the panetta review group was disbanded. >> i'll be happy to address that question at a time when the committee leadership request that information from it. >> thank you. i think that it's appropriate, senator for a classified section. >> let me move

panetta who is a former director of the cia was warning of a rippling cyber attack that could target government, and the infrastructure. he said back in 2009 he was told by a cia counterintelligence team that the agency faced as many as 100,000 cyber attacks every day. >>> a woman in her early 60s became the fourth person to die of the h1n1 virus. total number of flu related deaths in the bay area is now at 29. health officials continue to encourage people to get a flu shot. according to the centers for disease control, the peak month of flu activity is february. >>> u.s. attorney general eric holder says the obama administration is planning to establish regulations soon that will allow banks to do business with legal marijuana sellers. banks often refuse to let marijuana businesses open accounts. that is because under current federal regulations processing money puts banks at risk. the issue has become more critical now that colorado and washington have become the first states to legalize recreational marijuana use. the increasing number of states legalizing marijuana use is helping

he pointed to leon panetta and said panetta basically overruled stephens. that was a problem.y would call that part of the senate intelligence committee report a white wash, but it certainly could have been more specific. it's a shame that it didn't include his account in any way. >> meantime new fox news poll out. the first one blame for benghazi. can you see that secretary clinton, former secretary of state gets a great deal at 28% and some at 32%. there you see the breakdown. so basically 60 o% in this poll say she deserves some blame. at least. for benghazi. is this a problem for her? >> it is a problem. i'm not sure how great it will be, but it is a problem. particularly when you add to that the fact that the rest of her stewardship as secretary of state was so unbelievably undistinguished and that there wasn't a single achievement in the four years. all she has on the plate, on the record is benghazi. if i could just say a word about hicks. he is the only guy who comes out of this admirablably. in this article he explains in a complicated way that stephens wanted to chan

i know leon panetta -- there is finally this. so four and a half years to write this? how long did it take to write this? >> about 20 months. >> 20 months, four and a half years is how long you served. 20 months to write. you sat at a desk in this room here, writes the washington post, and i assume that may be where you fell, i don't know but -- >> unfortunately. >> rose: and you have another book you are going to write about leadership? >> it is really more about -- it is really more of a book about how you lead change in big organizations and particularly big public organizations, having done it successfully as cia, texas a & m, the defense department, it is really a step -- it is not a leadership book, it is really more of a step-by-step, here is how you actually can get things done in a public environment, and this is one of the themes in the book that i underscore. despite my hidden rage at the congress or seething at the congress, the fact is i was able to cut nearly three dozen major procurement programs that i considered wasteful or unnecessary, cut $180 billio

but leon panetta lifted that ban, and put a deadline to open all jobs or prove why women are unfit. >i think it's a great thing. i think it's a step forward to more equal opportunity for women. >> i thinkment some females should be allowed in combat. i don't feel it is for every female. >> they should be able to do everything exactly to what the guys have to do, and if -- i'm just concerned that it would cause problems with the mission. >> for the women that have served in combat zones, i have not seen a huge number of women that wanted this. >> with 55% of female marine recruits failing the pullup test, the corps decided to delay the requirement for women, raising questions about combat readiness. in the debate about gender equality, how do gender realities come into play. joining us is a retired sergeant in the marine corps. a retired colonel in the air force and president of grace after fire, and a former marine corps officer who served in iraq and afghanistan and has a new novel coming out called "green on blue," about the complexities of surviving in war. about 290,000 women have

secretary clinton, general petraeus, secretary panetta all of our top national security officials in012 we've got to get started backing rebels. we'll have a huge problem. the president decided not to do it. it wasn't a huge mistakes, it was a small mistake but today that's what we're living with. and there's going to be a new war against al qaeda in that part of the world. >> schieffer: well, will the united states go back to iraq? >> not as david said in the large footprint way, we're already providing -- iraq is only country nag for nsa surveillance technology. we're providing every kind of tool we can give them to help them go after al qaeda, find out who they are. >> schieffer: will that be enough? >> that's the big question. every time that president obama has chosen this method of trying a small arm shipments, whether it's syria or whether it's in iraq, it's proven not to be up to the job. and the problem that he faces right now is that in president malaki in iraq he has allied himself or stuck with somebody who has not been willing to make any kind of compromise or concession

directly over what i, as well as secretary of state, hillary clinton, and then cia director, leon panetta and others saw as his determination that the white house tightly control every aspect of national security policy and even operations. his white house was by far the most centralized and controlling in national security of any i had seen since richard nixon and henry kissenger ruled the roost. the white house controlled who gets the credit. quote, the controlling nature of the obama white house and its determination to take credit for every good thing that happened while giving none to the career folks in the trenches who had done the work offended secretary clinton as much as it did me, unquote. on president obama's commitment to the war in afghanistan, mr. gates writes, quote, president obama simply wanted to end the quote, unquote, bad war in iraq. and limit the u.s. role in the quote, unquote, good war in afghanistan. president obama doesn't believe in his own strategy and doesn't consider the war to be his. for him, it's all about getting out, unquote. commander in chief obama or
