Conservative columnist Diana West appeared on Frank Gaffneys radio program once again this week to discuss the Obama administrations response to the Benghazi attack. West said that the attack was a fortunate event because it is grabbing peoples attention so that we can understand whats wrong with the American Arab Spring policy that Obama has been executing, giving Mitt Romney an opportunity to criticize Obamas lies and policies supporting jihad, Muslim Brotherhood actors.
West: As you and I have discussed, I strongly feel that Benghazi is almost in a strange way a fortunate event. Not obviously having to do with any of the actual killing and destruction and harm its done to our country, but in the sense of grabbing peoples attention so that we can understand whats wrong with the American Arab Spring policy that Obama has been executing. In a sense thats what I would have wanted in a Republican nominee to use Benghazi as a teaching school, taking it down the line, whether its presidential lies, administration lies, whether its security failure and whether its sort of the über-theme, the failure of supporting jihad, Muslim Brotherhood actors across the Middle East and how it comes back to bite you every time.
Gaffney: Yes, you have written brilliantly about this.

(30,058 posts)Why in the world would anyone be telegraphing their investigation into this matter. This is being handled and there is not any need to tell where they are looking and information they have found. Again, lack of foreign experience is apparent when the walkie-talkies are talking.

(14,860 posts)and I honestly believe they would literally jump up and down with glee if a 9/11 scale terrorist attack happened in this country during President Obama's term. I can easily see them grinning and gloating while they say, "It's Obama's fault! It's the Democrats' fault! Hahahahaha!". They hate the President and the Democratic Party much more than they care about the country and their fellow citizens.
Diana West is far from alone. I think many Republicans feel this way.
