supporters are ex-qaddafi people are not. and i would have to look into it. >> in response to the state department, foreign officer hicks spoke to this in 2013, oversight committee hearing, it seemed the details in the report, secretary clinton was going to arrive in benghazi. and is that something that was occurring, and it was a desire to create a visit that led to stevens being down there at the time. >> it was a fair question. first of all the fact that it was a trip to libya is not new information as you know. it was raised previously by greg hicks, deputy chief admission to tripoli at the time in his testimony at the house oversight and government reform committee. the question of whether it speaks to brad's question, whether benghazi was seeing some desired outcome by senior administration officials. the state department, the administration and chris stevens felt it was in our foreign policy interest and international security interests to have a presence in benghazi and that was driving our invasion. >> in october of

that when qaddafi and his senior guys went away, the military just disappeared and went away, right? i'm concerned that if assad just goes away without a transition to something else and we know what that is, the same thing may happen to the syrian military. >> rose: we conclude this evening with nejra cehic of bloomberg news in london with the mood as great britain went to vote on brexit. >> there is a real sense that the way you voted today is really going to matter, not just for the future of the u.k. but for the future of europe and globally as well. >> rose: new decisions from the supreme court, the battle against isis, after orlando and the brexit vote in great britain today. all of that when we continue. >> funding for charlie rose is provided by the following: >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: we begin this evening with the supreme court, the justices dead locked in a challenge to president obama's imgraiks plan, a

qaddafi backs down and signs an agreement withth francois mitterrand. he agrees to withdraw his troops .rom chad t ♪ >> as soon as aubrey becamame te chief strategistt, we began too let him dodo as he likeses. positionmself in the of great impmportance for the french at the same t time for te americans. we gave him carte blanche. we close our eyes to what he was doing. we ask of you is the people hold on your country. how could he not abuse that position? the national union for independence and revolution. thousands of citizens fall victim to hihis ferocious rule. we ununcovered seven detention centers. said it wasetaiainees nothing but a big prison. a little more about what the french did. >> the french helped him take power. then they helped him keep our by sending the french army twice which was the biggest employment of the french army since the war against algeria. a strong network of secret services that helps to train agents of the des which is the police. the organization accused of some of these were crimes. we saw french officials speaking in

a few days after qaddafi has been removed he sends an e-mail to the secretary and he says "this is a big moment, you should do a press event, even if it's in the driveway of your vacation home." and he finishes the e-mail with this statement. "this is a big moment, you are vindicated, don't wait, help cleo now." cleo, of course, is the goddess of history. so they were committed to this. they were invested in this. this was it. this was how it's supposed to work in their administration in their state department. and they were so committed it didn't matter that there were 200 security incidents between the time blumenthal sent the e-mail and when the terrorist attack happened. it didn't matter that one diplomatic security agent went to benghazi, did his service and came back and when he came back he said this "it's a suicide mission. everybody there is going to die." it didn't matter on august 17 of 2012, three and a half weeks before the attack. beth jones sends a memo to secretary clinton and she uses terms, she talks about the uptick in violence in eastern libya and talks about urge

qaddafi's underground militia, there would have been an even greater loss of life that night. in this case, i believe the government hailed as people and public.the this is unacceptable and i know this report shines light on that and god willing will prevent this from ever happening again. want to thank our chairman. this has been an incredible task to undertake. we have worked day in and day out and particularly the staff to bring facts to the american people that we did not know before. we have been focused on issues prior to the attack and the things we learned about benghazi, there were many new things we learned. admitted and it has been known for some time that security was inadequate. but what we did not know until this investigation was the state department made a conscious decision to keep the benghazi the radar andf not provided to the security it needed. and fact, none of the facilities met any of what they needed required by law. when chris stevens was sent into benghazi, he was initially going in with military but because of the policy of no boots on the thatd, at

that somebody supported going into libya and taking out muammar qaddafi. that somebody supported going into iraq to launch a war. donald trump said horrific things that give us pause, talk about later not to democrats and independents, many republicans including leadership in the house and senate. so again, all she has to do is say to people, maybe i'm not your cup of tea. hold your nose. remember who i am running against. harris: i would say this, tony i think you would probably step in on this too, donald trump is not a politician at the time. he is talking about precision strike, i only recently heard against muammar qaddafi. >> she was secretary of state. she has no rationale, the entire campaign to deny donald trump. harris: we'll get back to some of this making news. we have you covered all day and all night as americans across six states vote today, and it could be a late one as we keep a close eye on california. so keep it right here on the fnc, fox news channel for the newbies. >>> donald trump urging his sure surrogates to defend his criticism of

we did not have a strong plan for the libyan people, libyan state in the wake of qaddafi blown away.ie: i ended up ruled by tribes. james: and we run the same risk if we are not careful, like syria. charlie: we don't know what happens if you go after a side. -- assad. james: you can weaken him and have him pulled from power, but it until someone can show me what is the plan after that for the stability of the syrian state, the syrian government to look out after all of the syrian people not just a certain sect, i will not necessarily be terribly wild about it. charlie: that will happen in negotiations, where the russians be-- where the russians will a big player as well as ukraine. what am i missing here? mike: those people who are pulling for ukraine, including the 50's some state department who are calling for a much greater military application in the military -- charlie: in order to give leverage to the negotiating track. that,but i think, i think that, the goal, the focus, what we are doing in iraq and syria is on isis. that is the threat to us. i know the humanitarian toll in s

now, could we have done more after the qaddafi regime was ended?t's always second-guessing and i'm sure there's more we could have done, but let's look at what we did do? we along with the u.n. and others helped to superintend two free and fair elections, something that is still quite an accomplish. by the libyan people. they chose moderate leaders. unfortunately, preexisting rivalries within the country have prevented the government from really being able to act on behalf of the nation. so of course if there were more things to be done that we could have influenced, i think that's something we should be looking at and evaluating because libya still is a country that is struggling to be successful. >> woodruff: finally, a quick running mate question: how big a negative do you think it would be to choose a sitting senator from a state with a republican governor knowing that would mean a republican replacement? >> well, i know it's big concern to my friends in the senate, and i respect that concern. i'm going the choose someone who i think would be r

2011 contributed directly to the current qaddafi isil's ability to lash out and expand in libya is a troubling warning about the ice of the reactive up to fighting this enemy. i fear living will continue to deteriorate compounding the riser -- rising terror threat. there are large displacements of you while the threat in africa continues to metastasize, our commanders are being forced to do more with less, they are starved for resources. i look forward to your thoughts today on how you attend to approach the opportunities. the role of the chief of the national guard bureau has evolved over the last several years. it sits in the joint chiefs of as an advisores to the president. it manages. it can require patient and determined leadership. committee has followed the road machinations above the national commission on the air force and the commission on the future of the army. both commissions had recommendations for reinventing the total force. i hope you will have this in your testimony today. mobilizationg the of the national guard. tord members write to me talk about these cycles. se

led to effort to topple qaddafi in libya. so that's another piece. but as far as what's different from the other seven committee investigations that went forward? there is not anything there that implicates any one single official. it's this idea, i think, that we've seen throughout government in a lot of different capacities that there is bureaucratic issues, especially getting the message from the top to the bottom. there are questions about how that would look to the libyans if we were to move in there without permission and what that meant and did that lead to the deaths of four americans? this will be relitigated back and forth for quite a while on both sides but i think the real issue that's worth pointing out is this you could argue for republicans already accomplished what it -- what they wanted it to and that was when i think it's fair to say because of this committee they were able to figure out that secretary clinton had a private e-mail server. so when we look back at this in history, that's it. that reinforced all these questions about h

it took a while to get rid of qaddafi and it was messy. the nato forces finally did that supporting the rebels. there is even some government formation in the early days that look like it was promising. at that time her own people really began to believe that this was going to be a huge winner for her. she was was urged in e-mails to come out subsequently by both sidney blumenthal, her private advisor and by her staff at the state department that she wanted to really lash herself to this. to have ownership, stewardship, of this policy and that wing could not be was finally killed blumenthal said to her you should go to the driveway of your home or even if you are on vacation and take credit for this, this is your moment in history. jake sullivan said to her, they're putting together an op-ed where she could all articulate a clinton doctrine. so i think of all the form policy issues that she is vulnerable on, this is a major one, perhaps the biggest because she latched herself so visibly to it and because it was clear that her role was the

the presidency was not planning for the day after qaddafi fell.we sent people, american diplomats, to ben ghazi, to libya, to a failed state and what they were most concerned about in the beginning of going into libya was making sure it wasn't a failed state. and what is it today? a terrorist safe haven, isis, al qaeda, controlling the only natural resource, the oil, and other places in libya. it is failed policy. we failed the american people. i want to close by making sure people realize he said we are going to try to make sure these things don't happen in the future so not only did this committee work hard to uncover the facts and the truth and shed light on the truth but we have pages of recommendations, many pages of recommendations and i encourage you to look at those recommendations and just a couple recommendations that are now critical, that our government agencies and leaders of government agencies had not planned for an attack like this. the cia, defense department, state department has not been prepared and had no plans in place to exe

qaddafi? mu barack. >> i argue strongly against going-- . >> rose: to libya. >> to libya. my question was okay, tell me what happens. he's gone. what happens. doesn't the country disintegrate? what happens then? doesn't it become a place where it becomes a petri dish for the growth of extreme ism. tell me, tell me what we're going to do. >> rose: and it has. and isil is pouring in people to build a stronger force. >> yeah. and so look, i mean i think here's the thing i am-- charlie, i don't think we should use force unless it meets certain basic criteria. is it in the national security of the united states, our interest directly, number one, or our allies. number two, is it, can we use it efficaciously, will it work. and number three, can it be sustained? now i can take you to any part of the world, and we put in 2, 300,000, or 150,000 troops. we can absolutely end the carnage but we're there. now are we going to say, you know, my dad used to have an expression. he would say if everything is equally important to you, nothing is important to you. tell me, what is the-- what

led the charge to oust qaddafi.een relitigated by eight committees and if you're a politician or operative or whatever you're going to cherry pick the parts of the story that reinforced your point of view. and i think the biggest thing that's come out of this for quite a while is the fact that it's because of this committee more likely than not that the world now knows hillary clinton had a private e-mail server and used it at the state department. that's something more than the republicans would have wanted in their wildest dreams because it continues to dog her at her campaign. but there were two competing visions of the republican report. chairman gowdy is very much "i want the report to speak for itself, this is not focused on any one single individual, this was a breakdown from the administration all the way down, all these different areas of government. people should read it." then there's another group of republicans on that committee, pompeo and jim jordan who released their own addendum which was much more

i would remind my colleague from texas that we got rid of qaddafi without losing a single american and then walked away. we walked away from it and now we see isis now establishing a strong beach head, a direct fail lir of leadership of the obama administration and then secretary osecretary of state. there were many of us including the senator from texas who said, look, we've got to do a the low of things with -- now that you've gotten rid of qaddafi. this country has known no democracy. it has no institutions. we could have taken care of their wounded. we could have helped secure the borders. instead we kill qaddafi -- his own people killed him but we set up a scenario and walked away, just as we walked away from iraq, just as we're sort of walking away from afghanistan while tal taliban is starting to show success throughout the country. this administration is very good at walking away and unfortunately the consequences are attacks on the united states of america and europe. so i thank the senator from texas for his very important statement. madam president, it's my pleasure to rise

we would be better off if qaddafi was in charge right now.his wass was -- mark: reported back in february and nobody asked him about it, until now. this is currently getting stuff.dowed by the judge this gurney level has gone up in a way that most politicians, even if they think they have had a lot of scrutiny, it goes up. people have looked back on the nomination fight and concluded that they did not quite exactly get it right. they have to get better at holding people to account on things said in the past. playing video for donald trump, i think we will see this a lot. people fromll see the bush, rubio, ted cruz campaigns say, "why didn't the press do a better job?" not of this is that it did have the research operations, consistency, and discipline to go after trump on these things. you will see more stuff about hillary clinton and trump. as is always the case, it is how you handle it, much more than the underlying videotape and inconsistencies. the way he handles this is to deny the truth. john: that is a big problem. coming up, bernie sa

qaddafi? mubarak,? biden: tell you what happens when he's gone. doesn't the country disintegrate?oes it become a place where becomes a petri dish for the growth of extremism? tell me what we're going to do. and it has. i don't think we should use force unless it meets certain basic criteria. is it in the national security interest of the united states? our u.s. interests directly threatened? can we use it efficaciously? will it work? and three, can be sustained? it's a be sustained? is be sustained? be sustained? used to say if everything is equally important than nothing is important. whether or not north korea decides to use nuclear weapons. whether or not china decides to become rogue. continues not russia to challenge borders in europe. these are x essential concerns. is it a concern that there is a bad guy in africa or in the middle east? yes. it is a concern. what is within our wheelhouse to do and can we solve every problem around the world? i think we don't often ask enough and we didn't ask enough , i knoweginning about it the first step is that what is the third and the

in libya, we were right to launch an air campaign to prevent qaddafi from massacring innocent civilians, but we didn't do enough to plan for the day after, when deep-rooted tribalism plunged libya into disorder. in syria, the suffering in the civil war has been heartbreaking to see a nation shattered, and hundreds of thousands killed and millions driven from their homes. it is gut-wrenching. and as a father, i look at syria's children and i see my own. that's why we've said the dictator, assad, must go and why we support a moderate syrian opposition. and it's why america provides more humanitarian aid to the syrian people than any other nation. u.s. military involvement in a conflict like the syrian civil war have to be fully thought through, rigorously examined with an honest assessment of the risks and tradeoffs. how will it alter the conflict? what comes next? when we ask those questions, we prevent the kind of mission creep that history teaches us to avoid. if iran and russia want to spill their blood and treasure trying to prop up their syrian client and get sucked into a quagmire,

back to the qaddafi days, i will never understood this aversion to talking to people. can sit down and go you suck. if you go near us you are going to eradicate you. >> isn't the idea that it dignifies the leader -- >> it depends if you pull an obama and bend so far over that you dislocate your back, then yes that's a bad message. >> if you stand your ground and you are a real ass dude. >> start opening up a dialogue. >> they always want to talk. >> before we go to break let's see more of the trump ad campaign. >> shucky, ducky. >> coming up, how does gavin mcginnis plan to rid the world of radical islam? i'll ask him when we come back. >>> live from america's news headquarters, i'm jackie ibanez. we are learning more about the weeks leading up to the orlando masacre. he came to the store to buy body armor and 1,000 rounds of ammunition. they declined the sale because they raised suspicions requesting the high amount of body armor used by lawen -- law enforcement. they did not check his id and had no name to give to authorities. >>> disney taking action following the d

. >> a muscular foreign-policy -- >> you kill qaddafi with no plan -- she affected it. she is one of the people who made it happen and you learn the lessons from the iraq war that you voted for that you claim to despise. >> you and i agree on that, no disagreement on foreign-policy. we talked about this for ages but she is appealing to eat -- they may not be -- >> appeal to bernie supporters so she can show -- so she can show she has a strategy on foreign-policy unlike others, whether it is donald trump or bernie sanders. if you recall because we carried it on "outnumbered," his foreign policy speech for donald trump was very cohesive and he got a lot of credit for going forward with some informed ideas, we learned who some of his advisers were. if she wanted to bait him into that thin-skinned response she got him this time. the question is does he go forward, step back from that and come back with real policy. >> what is it a missed opportunity for her to lay out her foreign-policy. arthel: she loves to get super wonky in policy. that is why that speech was different.

findingse interesting to the pro qaddafi forces to help them. they did not know who was friend or foe. all these different militia groups, they had to wing it to get out of there. it is a good thing these pro-qaddafi forces came in, because there were dozens of diplomats that ended up dying that night had they not been helped. host: who is responsible for those decisions, for the lack of action? rachael: that is a great question. panetta has testified he said go, he testified that. host: the former defense secretary. rachael: he told the panels, he said go, obama said go. what is important to talk about is from that decision, which happened an hour or so after the initial attack started, it was a big conference call at 7:30 that night, four hours into the decision to gohe did not peter out. there was a lot of discussion about, if we do go, what kind of close to they where? should they wear their uniforms, or civilian uniform? on this conference call, secretary clinton, one of her top guys knedy, he was reluctant that the u.s. military go to beng

>> president trump, of course, she is the one who presided over the overthrow of qaddafi in libya. look what we have in libya. she reset the relationship in russia. look how bad the relationship with russia is since she reset the relationship. look, hillary clinton has had her chance to conduct the foreign policy of the united states and she has been, i will say. kindly a disaster. every single thing she touched as secretary of state, whether it was her policies or barack obama's, they are the same ended up worse. the middle east is worse. the relationship with russia are worse, eastern europe, i'm not even going to mention the south china sea and the disaster it's interesting to look at what she said this week, she said isis is not to be contained, it's to be destroyed. which i actually thought was a departure from. >> it was. i didn't know to what extent she had been a loyal sort of civil servant to president as secretary of state. >> i don't believe her. i don't believe that the public opinions polls turn. she voted for the war in iraq and then she was against the war in iraq an

united states and the international community to put together a comprehensive strategy following qaddafi at 2011 has contributed directly to the current crisis, i souls ability to strategically lash out and rapidly expand in libya is a troubling warning about the price of administrations reactive, indirect approach to fighting this enemy. until this changes, if if you're libya will continue to deteriorate. compounding the terrorist threat across the continent, africa remains plagued by long-standing conflicts and weak governance that drive large displacements of people and so instability. while the threat in africa continues to metastasize, our military commanders are being forced to do more with less,*for resources, and deny timely and flexible resources, and deny timely and flexible authorities to take advantage of battlefield opportunities and halt the advance of extremism it and other drivers drivers and stability. general waldhauser, i look forward to your thoughts today on how you intend to approach with the enormous challenges and opportunities within the area of responsibility. g

she didn't understand what would happen after qaddafi was removed. >> and trump supported that mistaked i was as vocal as anyone in the 1990s in decrying the unseriousness of clinton's response to al qaeda. but, let's remember i saw it. a lot of people know it before 9/11 it was not a popular argument to get tough on al qaeda. i mean, you lay the blame at clinton's feet, but overall, i think he did a pretty good job in foreign policy. and if that's the template that we're using for trump to accuse her on libya, i think is rather hypocritical since he obviously vocally, publicly supported it. >> all right. charles krauthammer, everybody. as always, thank you for a good debate. one footnote, i will be appearing on the colbert program this evening speaking about my talking points memo and the terror attack in orlando. directly ahead, as mentioned, donald trump will be here. we invited both him and hillary clinton on this evening. mr. trump has plenty to say about the orlando terror attack. and, later, geraldo rivera with the very painful aftermath of so many people being killed in florida

whether it is saddam hussein or qaddafi. that's not that hard to do. think about what happens the day after or the years after. instability that takes place in the chaos that takes place. the people that are dying in the civil wars. steve: what you think there is so much hatred in certain sectors of this world? why do they hate us? bernie sanders: i don't other reason. -- i don't know the reason. clinging open society to an ideology and religious of thousand years old that treats women as not second-class citizens or even fourth class citizens in eagleville believe andgirls should get the nex education. a weird sexual approach that i don't really understand. a lot of reasons why. on is in many of these countries the poverty rate in the unemployment rate are off the charts. young men are desperate and angry. the terrorists say join us, we are going to take on the most powerful country honors. we have to help those countries move toward a more democratic society. where people can play a role politically and economically. steve: i know you oppose the war

americans there were saved by a group reporting to muammar qaddafi's regime. the u.s. wanted to make benghazi a permanent diplomatic post. in order to do that they needed to receive funding until the end of 2012. ambassador stephens was preparing for then secretary of state hillary clinton to visit at the end of the month. >> nothing could have reached benghazi because nothing was ever headed to benghazi. no u.s. military asset was ever deployed to benghazi despite the order of the secretary of defense. not a single wheel of a single u.s. military asset had even turned toward libya. >> we have team fox coverage. mike emanuel is with the clinton campaign today in denver. first we go to catherine herridge, live for us in washington. >> reporter: the republican majority report identifies for the first time a key white house meeting on september 11th, 2012, three hours into the terrorist attack. the meeting included senior deputies to the cabinet as well as then secretary of state hillary clinton. at that time, the terror attack in benghazi was ongoing. foreign service off

they site the situation, the aftermath in libya of the removal of qaddafi and then it destabilized thes of isis. they talk about iraq falling apart. what do you think were her successes as secretary of state? >> well, i think first of all that she established, along with the president, obviously, because the foreign policies are actually president obama's. the secretary of state implements it but it's president obama's decision. they reestablished american credibility in the world. they reduced our exposure to harm in the middle east. they tried to stabilize afghanistan. they initiated the shift toward greater retention in the pacific to counter some of china's more threatening moves in the south china sea and elsewhere. they captured osama bin laden, killed osama bin laden, rather. and so there were a lot of successes here. as far as benghazi, let's talk about benghazi. there was a complete turmoil in north africa during that period brought on in part as a consequence of climate change, in part as a consequence of the u.s. actions in iraq under the bush administration and in part of r

she was wrong on libya, she thought it would get better if we knocked off qaddafi.hat has she been right about? the lobster and shrimp summerfest is happening now at red lobster. and if you love lobster and shrimp, ...check out all these new entrees. like new coastal lobster and shrimp... ...with summer ale barbeque sauce, ...and new lobster and shrimp overboard. overboard? nah, ...it's just right. so hurry in. abe * an apparent victory against isis. a senior commander says fallujah has been eliminated from the grip of the islamic state it was the first iraqi city to fall to the radical islamic terrorists. iraqi troops have been trying to take it back. this recapture is so meaningful after 100 of our troops made the ultimate sacrifice during the iraqi war in 2004. martha: a live look at the markets on this monday morning. the dow down 1.3 percent after tanking 600 points friday. a lot of shocked people who are involved with the markets. but donald trump praising this decision of britain's exit from the eu. he says it's only the beginning. >> they wanted their indepe

they were actually allied to qaddafi when we were trying to overthrow them. i do speak events and i say sometimes god has a sense of humor. we were saved by libyans that we would have been fighting any other day. it's ironic. but you have faith. it's ironic that's we were saved by libyans that we could have been fighting any other day. martha: who gave you the order to stands down. who said that to you? >> it was our local chief of base. he gave john the exact words "stand down." the others were told to wait if you want to get into semantics. it's just somebody not in tune to military or combat situation that he should have left up to the professionals, the seals, the rangers and the marines. martha: how could carter ham, the general in that area not have known the battle was going on? how could he have thought it was over? >> i have no idea. we have something in the military called playing dumb private. he may not have known. he may not have been told by hillary clinton. but either way it's not an excuse. sometimes we learn from the military it's better to j

in libya, we were right to launch an air campaign to prevent qaddafi from massacring innocent civilians, but we didn't do enough to plan for the day after, when deep-rooted tribalism plunged libya into disorder. in syria, the suffering in the civil war has been heartbreaking to see a nation shattered, and hundreds of thousands killed and millions driven from their homes. it is gut-wrenching. and as a father, i look at syria's children and i see my own. that's why we've said the dictator, assad, must go and why we support a moderate syrian opposition. and it's why america provides more humanitarian aid to the syrian people than any other nation. but suggestions for deeper u.s. military involvement in a conflict like the syrian civil war have to be fully thought through, rigorously examined with an honest assessment of the risks and tradeoffs. how will it alter the conflict? what comes next? when we ask those questions, we prevent the kind of mission creep that history teaches us to avoid. if iran and russia want to spill their blood and treasure trying to prop up their syrian client and

she voted for the iraq war, she was part of an administration that took out qaddafi in libya which lead to that mess. she supports open border which makes us at risk for lone wolves and attacks in that realm. so donald trump has material to go after hillary clinton. he mentioned some of it but that will be the focus of his campaign no question. >> steve, what do you say? >> well, i think hillary clinton's campaign against donald trump that he's unfit to be commander in chief. we'll hear about that today. this is about people's ideas and policies. some of his ideas and policies are just wrong and would pus us -- america in greater danger. the notion that our foreign policy should be to build a wall with mexico or to ban muslims so we have problems with that part of the world or to v more nuclear weapons in korea or japan or get out of nato which has kept us safe for a generation, he's got bad ideas that he is out there saying and, you know, he's tried to say with some of them i didn't say it, which is what he does, he says something and then changes his mind or denies he said it. but the

numerous occasions including benghazi when chris stevens was living there in a hotel, we watched qaddafibeing taken out without the loss of a single american aircraft or person and then walked away. he walked away despite the repeated pleas of those of us who saw the situation deteriorating. he did nothing to help the libyans, not to treat their wounded, not to secure weapons, not to help them with border security, and most of all not to help a nation who had never known democracy to achieve it. now we are paying the price for it. now the price for it. now we are paying a heavy price. we have american troops in libya according to a published report is that true? >> we have a small number of troops on the ground. >> we have american troops on the ground which never would've been required if we had done the things necessary that we did after korea, after world war ii, after bosnia, instead of walking away from it. an abject total, disgraceful failure on the part of this administration. in this president. so, now you are handed frankly a can of worms because i do not have a lot of confidenc

i think we all are disheartened by many ways that the earlier of us policy following the fall of qaddafihas hindered libya's progress. with that, went to thank our special for being here who i know has concerns about the future of libya. we look forward to your testimony and we thank you for being here today to help us understand a way forward and with that i will turn to our distinguished ranking member. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i think this hearing is important as to how we proceed in libya and it's complicated and i think our witness for being here and r's-- or service to our country, but in order to counter isolate libya in the united states and others efforts at the stronghold while stepping up diplomatic efforts to achieve libyan unity. on a broad level, this is the right approach. other, i'm pleased to learn isil is now physically and run, i'm distressed that continue to make inroads by inspiring people online to commit atrocities as we have seen in our own country in orlando. but, often times in the rush to beat back the latest terrorist threats the expediency of counterterror

the war was to be dairied out to get rid of muammar qaddafi and replace him with more democratic leaning people. we know it is disaster. libya is a mess. it is run by gangs and thugs and it was not the result but the result what they produced what was the means? mrs. clinton authorize distribution of weapons to militias. she was warned by intelligence assets -- charles: they ended up in hands of people that killed our people in benghazi? >> correct. very same weapons ended up in hands of terrorist organizations. what do you call providing material assistance to a terrorist organization whether you're secretary of state or not? answer, a felony. charles: judge, thanks a lot. i know you will be back. more on is later. >>> guys in the meantime let's take a look at the dow futures. the market is set to open higher after a massive two-day route. even british -- rout. british banks are back. royal bank of scotland will open higher. also opening higher this morning will be barclays, two banks that really, really took it on the chin. hsbc was down not as much as they were but that stock also rea
