Why won’t Lindsey Graham just shut up?
Via NewsMax:
The White House learned a lesson from Benghazi, and made the right move closing 22 embassies on Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham says.
President Barack Obama’s administration is taking the right approach, the South Carolina Republican said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.
“Benghazi was a complete failure,” he said. “The threats were real there. The reporting was real, and we basically dropped the ball. We’ve learned from Benghazi, thank God, and the administration’s doing this right.”
Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were killed on September 11, 2012 at the U.S. diplomatic facility in Libya. A congressional investigation is ongoing about why threats were not looked into and whether there was a cover-up afterward.
Graham was critical that no one involved in the Benghazi attack has paid any price. Suspects have not been interviewed by American officials, though CNN recently interviewed one of them.
“After Benghazi, these al-Qaida types are really on steroids, thinking we’re weaker and they’re stronger,” Graham said.
