the u.s. has been behind the anti-terror war. but no protests are placed against the u.s. on deming that this is the first time that such protests are taking place. they know that that video is the beginning of what could be a long-term war. they believe anything against the muhammad should not be taken lightly. i'm pretty sure this will not give violence. most of the yemeni protesters are unarmed. as of now, they have no weapons. this is only to express anger and if security forces deal with it wisely it will not be violence and it will come to anend. >> you said something very important. you don't see anybody who's armed. we see people scaling gates. what are you seeing on the ground there? we see fire. what are you seeing? >> yes. they are trying to climb the gate. that is true. but they are not armed gunmen. in yemen that kind of thing, protesters are trying to express anger or trying to feel their message has been reached. these are not armed, according to all the sources that we talked to

this time their target was the u.s. consulate in benghazi, the same u.s. consulate where christopher stevens was killed two nights ago. they hit the consulate with an ied, turned the attack into an al qaeda-style video type of propaganda. the same group hit a british envoy in benghazi with a car bomb. it had the hallmarks of al qaeda inspiration or al qaeda training. they filmed the incident, dropped leaflets. they tried to take as much credit as possible. then on the morning of september 11th, this week, al qaeda central put out a video calling for attacks to avenge that same killing of al libi the group in benghazi had avenged before when it was first announced he was killed. by that night, the night of september 11th this week, we had what appears to an organized military style, sustained so sophisticated attack on the same consulate again and this time they killed the american ambassador and three other americans. as we learn more about that attack, the idea that this was a protest gone wrong, that it was a grassroots angry mob that overran this facilit

the u.s. foreign service. but it's been many years since someone of this level has been killed in an attack like this. so i think there's going to be a lot of shockwaves through the state department. after all the u.s. has done for the libyans. using force to get rid of moammar gadhafi, to help libya stand up as it moved towards elections, as it tries to start anew. i think there's going to be a lot of gut checking right now about how the u.s. wants to proceed. not just with libya. but with a lot of countries in the middle east. i mean if you look at the islamic wave that has swept the middle east in terms of these revolutions, the u.s. was very apprehensive, that we are going to support democratic movements. but they also said, secretary clinton has also said that an election does not a democracy make. and so these countries are not going to necessarily hold up to their end of the bargain. there are diplomatic conventions about protecting u.s. facilities. about holding to democratic values. an

the u.s. is also dispatching about 50 u.s. marines, part of a rapid reaction force that could move quickly on any leads. barbara starr is following all these latest movements and joins us now from the pentagon. tell us more, barbara. >> reporter: i do need to jump in and amend one thing there. this is not a marine quick reaction force. this is basically a force of 50 marines only that will go to the u.s. embassy in tripoli, in the capital, and they will be there to provide security for the embassy installation and any americans that may need assistance in being evacuated out of the country. strictly a security force. they will not operate on the ground in libya. only for the embassy. okay. so, that said, what do we have -- u.s. drones continuing to fly in eastern -- over eastern libya. they have done that in the past. they look for intelligence, overhead imagery that they gather, to try and find essentially al qaeda or militant strongholds, camps, evidence of militant activity in eastern libya, east of benghazi, where they thin

for the u.s. and the international community to present it the way the prospective and point of view of the iranians for american public opinion and politicians. to facilitate a possible peaceful solution for iranian nuclear crisis. >> there are a number of other questions, and you allude to this, related to trust. what do you say to those americans who argue that iran -- a deal with iran is really useless? that the iranian government cannot be trusted, cannot be relied upon to fulfill its promises? and other people say a deal with iran is not possible because the iranian regime is irrational and committed to defeating the west. and they point to president ahmadinajed's outrageous comments on israel, the holocaust, 9/11, as well as ties to terrorist groups. i think part of this goes to in a person way, does deterrence work related to iran? and can you talk about that? >> you hear a lot on interviews, op eds, reports, they are always talking about ahmadinajed's statement on the holocaust and wiping

the u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta has admitted that washington expects the protests to continue i'll be at less violently journalist and broadcaster neil clark says america should have seen this coming. remember the old saying you reap what you sow and the us are reaping what it so that sent back to february two thousand and eleven the u.s. to nato in the attack on iraq is libya really debt getting destruction they've created this sort of violent situation so what of course we condemn the terrible attacks on the u.s. consulate the murder of christine romans and of course the people responsible are those who carried out the killings we've got to put this in its wider context and this will not happen had mated not intervened last year the government is losing its grip in libya in egypt it in across the region and the u.s. it is the car that's been stoking all this up the u.s. has been aggressively supporting. writings of course across the region for its own interests and now it's a kind

if they do if the u.s. ures the embassies are we talking about one or two security officers or hundreds that surround the whole compound? >> you are talking about beefed up security a heightened alert. u.s. marines are train to do this job train to do defend the embassies. there can be beefing up adding personnel. the presence off the libyan coast for example that is there as much as presence as anything else in case a further evacuation of u.s. personnel u.s. individuals might be needed from libya. there can be some degree of american presence in tripoli. we have not -- libya has not been heard of today yet. we are focusing on a few other countries now. >>> thank you so much. >> we continue to follow the situation now. stories making news at this hour. health and human services secretary kathleen sib beebeliu hot water for campaigning for president obama. a speech in north carolina liern gnaw violated the hatch act which pro hib britts public officials from making partisan remarks in a civilian capacity. th

that the u.s. also indicates those we want every dispute to be resolved peaceably on the strategic level the reason one of the reasons behind the asia pivot as the obama administration calls it has been a growing concern not only by the united states but by asian nations japan south korea australia throughout southeast asia about growing beijing's assertiveness some would say aggressiveness willing to use intimidation against smaller nations particularly in southeast asia and that goes back to the two thousand and ten out of cocker's an incident the you know all that so the u.s. is increasingly concerned about what chinese intentions or actions might be and that was one of the reasons the high in the interest in prioritization toward asia go ahead brian. how could one possibly sit here going to bed with a straight face to save it then say that the united say that the united states is concerned about the feelings of nations in southeast asia for instance and that's why it's coming to their aid becaus

the u.s. government is not responsible for the movie but we should always keep in mind that the process i mean the what we call the the mortgage provision has been supported by the u.s. but in fact there has been so cool to every word. islamic government and now the people the. good to moving against u.s. interests and this is not a surprise for franchises but we have been talking to u.s. counterparts for years and we say we are doing a mistake because it is if i want to discuss we look one day or know her do something wrong in this state this is what we call the boom road effect i think there is again a complexity in between all the look of events and meaning for instance morgan morsi major what i want to see and what do you see the u.s. government and do eventually get is old old relations in the streets to put some more pressure against first of all this big but also against all the western powers to get some more money or to get some more power again them we've got more on the developments
