What went wrong in Benghazi

Sen. Rand Paul says Benghazi was "a terrible and tragic error" of judgment by President Obama and Sec. of State Clinton.

"What's most important is someone made a decision to put an embassy and consulate in a war- torn country with no host country to guard that embassy or consulate, leaving the guarding and security up to a militia. That decision alone was a terrible and tragic error. And that's what needs to change."

This Sunday...

This Sunday on “State of the Union with Candy Crowley”, an exclusive interview with the co-chair of the “super committee,” democratic Senator Patty Murray, as the committee vows to work through the weekend to reach a deal. Will we see any progress, and what happens if there’s no deal? We’ll get her thoughts.

Also, republican Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) says the Democrats, and in particular President Obama, would be happy if there’s no deal because it “helps his campaign,” we’ll talk to the Tea Party-backed senator about it.

Plus, a wide ranging interview with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who has authored a memoir on her time in the George W. Bush administration titled “No Higher Honor.” We’ll ask her about Syria, Afghanistan, and the Republican presidential candidates’ foreign policy views.

And finally, republican strategist Rich Galen, and former Pennsylvania republican Rep. Robert Walker, weigh in on the career and electability of newly minted top-tier GOP candidate, Newt Gingrich.

It promises to be a great show. Tune in Sunday at 9AM & NOON ET.
