Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham said on Sunday the Obama administrationâs handling of security for the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were killed is a âcase study in failureâ in American foreign policy.
âThis is Exhibit A of a failing national security policy,â Graham said on âFox News Sunday.â âThis is failed presidential leadership at its worst.â
Grahamâs comments are the latest following the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in which U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed. They also come one day before the final presidential debate, in which foreign policy will be the topic.
Graham, a member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, also raised concerns about reports of six attacks on the consulate six months prior to the fatal attack and Stevensâ concerns and requests for additional security.
The administration originally said the attack was a âspontaneousâ assault sparked by an anti-Islam video, then fully acknowledged it was a planned act of terrorism.
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin on Fox defended the administrationâs handling of the situation, saying President Obama is a âstrong responsive leader.â
The exchange followed a Capitol Hill hearing last week on the Libya attack by the Republican-led House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Committee Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., in connection with the hearing, released 166 pages of documents related to the Libya security issue that administration officials said Saturday threatens the lives of several Libyans who are named in the documents and who worked with the United States.
Durbin, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also said the final answers to the security concerns will be answered when âthe investigation is complete,â and that the response to the attacks by Republicans and others âshows the length many will go to politicize the situation.â
