Lindsey Graham Compares Boston Bombings to Benghazi, Blames Obama

Speaking to reporters in Washington on Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham linked the attack on the US Embassy in Libya in September 2012 to the Boston Marathon bombing.

"Our systems are failing, we're going backwards," Graham said.

"Bin Laden may be dead, but the war against radical Islam is very much alive," said Graham. "Radical Islam is on the March and we need to up our game."

Graham also gave a lengthier interview to Anderson Cooper of CNN and laid some of the blame for the Boston attacks at the feet of the administration of Barack Obama.
