I would like to pose a question to you based on what you've seen regarding Syria and Benghazi and Libya, the classified briefings and your travels. This administration reported to us that Syria had used chemical weapons 11 times previously. On the 12th time, we want to send a message that that's not okay--and it's not okay, let's be clear about that. But why didn't we send a message and why haven't we sent a message that it's not okay to kill a United States Ambassador? When is that message going to be sent? I would just like to get your thoughts on that and the dichotomy and the lack of parallel in some kind of strategy and foreign policy that is congruent and makes sense to our allies and our adversaries.

That’s not targeted policing of bad guys. That’s mass collection and surveillance - not safety.
