Benghazi Day is upon us

It is already Sept. 11 is some parts of the world where America is reviled and al Qaeda and its allies are strong.

The ruins of the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Sept. 11, 2012.

I wonder whether in his address to the nation tonight President Obama will acknowledge the anniversary? And more pointedly, I wonder whether his administration has taken any proactive steps to detect and defend against possible attacks against US interests on the anniversary.

Our enemies despise weakness in us at least as much as they hate who we are. And there is no lack of weakness to despise in our foreign policy in recent weeks. I am far from confident that al Qaeda, et. al., will lay low tomorrow just because of Syria and related events.

Would not bet on that at all.
