Republican Rick Santorum on Sunday blamed President Barack Obama's policies for creating the current terrorist threat that has closed more than 20 embassies around the world.
"I think it's a huge deal, and I think it's really the consequence of the policies of this administration," Santorum said on NBC's "Meet the Press," pointing to last year's attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans.
"We've seen really nothing other than cover-ups," said Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator and candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. "What we've seen is an administration that has refused to confront radical Islam, that has embraced the Muslim Brotherhood.
Other commentators echoed the theme on Sunday that the embassy closures are a result of the perceived weakness of President Barack Obama and America around the world.
"Four years ago President Obama gave a much heralded speech as outreach to the Muslim world, and now four years later we're closing embassies throughout the Muslim world," William Kristol, Weekly Standard editor, said on "Fox News Sunday".
"A year ago the president said Al Qaida is on the run, and now we seem to be on the run," Kristol said. "I'm not criticizing the decision to close the embassies, that's probably the right thing to do for the sake of trying to save American lives and others, but it's a terrible thing. An unprecedented closure."

Well, it is Sunday evening in the ME. So I guess what ever is going to happen will happen in the next few hours.
Barry has caused a huge loss of respect for America by the rest of the world. However, I think his policies have caused more damage to the reputation of our military than they have caused to America herself.
Exactly correct. While we're at it, it was Clinton's failure after the USS Cole terrorist attack that further emboldened Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda to attack the WTC on 9-11.
Elections do have consequences indeed.
Obama must be shocked that the terrorists are ignoring all his stern speeches. He will be gratified to know however that they understood completely when he put women and gays in combat.
So...
Are they going to re-open the embassies?
If so, when, why, what criteria is being used, which ones?
If not, why?
In Barry’s eyes, everything he has done so far has been a grand success. If your goal is to destroy this nation.
This is all bullish_t to keep the american people scared so they can continue the oppression and the National Snooping Agency programs active and fully funded.
The whole nation is being played and pimped....
Even got the girls Gramnesty and McLame whimpering for more....
Give me liberty or.......
Well, gee ... Rick, we have an opportunity to hear and seee you!!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING ALL THE TIME IN BETWEEN!!! WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD MORE NOISE FROM YOU??
Yes, the American resolve is so diluted now, it’s not fit for tasting!
America, land that HAD the ‘big white fleet’, land that HAD a notable leader in the past, Democrat too, that stood toe-to-toe with the Soviets till THEY blinked, now, land that has a gutless, nutless, grass-burned-out freak, as a leader.
No wonder Putin hates his guts!
I apologize. I just don't trust the U.S. government anymore. Matter of fact, if you trust the current regime, there is a greater chance of mental illness in your family.
I pray that in relation to our leaders (may the Lord guide them), we don't get to the lock and load part of the matinee.
