Op-Ed: Benghazi attack — The October surprise that backfired

The Romney campaign was banking on the Benghazi attack making Obama the next Jimmy Carter, however it has instead blown up in the face of the American right - only problem is, they haven't realized that yet.

The Movie
It wasn't a few hours after the attacks in Benghazi, that Conservative talking points began floating around that the Obama administration once again apologized to the Muslim world, and that they should have defended the Innocence of Muslim's film, as free speech.

But, lets look at who is behind this film, Terry Jones was a vocal supporter of the film which enraged the world and provided an initial casus belli for the Benghazi attack. It was Jones whom conservatives defended when he set out to burn the Quran. It was Pamela Gellar who solicited funds for the film, she is linked by degrees of separation right back to the Romney campaign and the Neo-Conservative lobby through John Bolton who wrote the forward to her book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America.

It is my belief that in the very least the Benghazi attack was allowed to occur. Hence the inexplicable "do nothing" response by the CIA, in order to make the Obama administration look weak and soft on terrorism.
