"I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world," President Barack Obama said in 2009, "one based on mutual interest and mutual respect." He went on to list the tensions between America and the Muslim world he sought to relieve—yet at the latest meeting of the U.N. General Assembly, he skipped meeting with any of his fellow world leaders for a taping of The View. It's hard to believe those snubbed leaders, who included Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, think the president is actually relieving any tensions in the Middle East.
President Obama doesn't put much time into working the phones or flying to funerals or inviting world leaders for weekends at Camp David, unlike some of his predecessors. He puts more value on the words in a speech—because to him, soaring rhetoric is the end, not the means to an end.
The administration's tiptoeing around the very real threat of terrorism—part of its "new beginning" with the Muslim world—sends a signal of weakness that has had alarming consequences: dozens of embassies attacked, American flags burned, and American personnel evacuated, while al Qaeda gains weapons and territory in Africa. When Israel rightly voiced fears about Iran getting the nuclear bomb, the president dismissed it as "noise" he'd prefer to "block out."
He's blocking it out, alright. The president has only attended a third of his daily intelligence briefings this year; a National Security Council spokesman said that's because he's "among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet." Really.

Here we have a rationale for refusing to call the Benghazi attack a Terror act and simply implied it was the result of mob action.
*****************************************EXCERPT*****************************************
White House adviser Valerie Jarrett has full-time Secret Service protection, yet there were no Marines protecting our ambassador in Benghazi that night.
The bestselling “Unholy Alliance” is now in paperback! Former Leftist radical David Horowitz blows the lid off the dangerous liaison between U.S. liberals and Islamic radicals. With America’s battle against the disastrous force of terrorism at hand, Horowitz takes us behind the curtain of the unholy alliance between liberals and the enemy - a force with malevolent intentions, and one that Americans can no longer ignore.
