No need to worry guys, the Arab Spring is working just fine. Just listen to Hillary Clintons speech from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (via Jihad Watch) packed with absurdities like these.
For the United States, supporting democratic transitions is not a matter of idealism. It is a strategic necessity.
It might be more of a strategic necessity for China and Russia, considering that the democratic transition replaced allies with Islamist enemies. Its obviously a strategic necessity for Huma Abedin and her friends. But its a strategic disaster for us.
And we will not return to the false choice between freedom and stability. And we will not pull back our support for emerging democracies when the going gets rough. That would be a costly strategic mistake that would, I believe, undermine both our interests and our values.

But back to Benghazi and the bungled and burgled consulate.
Diplomacy, by its nature has to be often practiced in dangerous places Our people cannot live in bunkers and do their jobs.
Sure they can. They live in heavily secured facilities even in many allied countries. They live protected by United States Marines.
The question is why the Benghazi consulate had less security than places that were not under threat? But worry not, shes on the case.
No one wants to find out exactly what happened more than I do.
I bet.
Hillary Clinton is the New Baghdad Bob
