In the lead up to tonight's third presidential debate it is likely that Mitt "If My Lips Are Moving I'm Lying" Romney will again try to make political hay out of the September 11, 2012, attack of the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Lindsey Graham, a/k/a the Palmetto Queen on this blog, has given a foretaste of the crap that Romney will again likely try to throw at Obama. Hypocrisy doesn't begin to describe the GOP's - and Romney's - hypocrisy on this issue. Andrew Sullivan puts in all in perspective:
"This is going to be a case study, studied for years, of a breakdown of national security at every level, failed presidential leadership — senior members of the Obama administration failed miserably," - Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina.
So Bush and Cheney's failure to prevent the massacre of 3,000 civilians in NYC after an explicit warning from the CIA was less of a failure than a confusing attack on a consulate in Libya, which killed four people?
And Andrew doesn't even begin to factor in the American lives wasted in the Iraq War that Bush and Cheney advocated for based on knowingly false information. If Romney tries to go down this road, Obama needs to remind Americans what Romney's style of foreign policy got us under Bush/Cheney.
