you dont know what you dont know.
day one = tragic event, happened during protests over video, unsure about details.
day two= tragic event, unsure of details, no justification for it, act of terror
next week or so = unsure of details, can not say yet whether it was planned ahead of time, happened at same time as protests over video so thats a possibility it was related to those
two weeks= finally the intelligence community comes to conclusion, pre meditated, act of terror.
report comes out that embassy wanted extra security.. was denied by STATE DEPARTMENT.. not the president..
THE FACTS: The Washington Post 's Fact Checker: Obama Did Not Say "Terrorism" In The Rose Garden And "It Took The Administration Days To Concede That That It Was An 'Act Of Terrorism'" Unrelated To The Video. "What did Obama say in the Rose Garden a day after the attack in Libya? 'No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this nation,' he said. But he did not say 'terrorism'-and it took the administration days to concede that that it was an 'act of terrorism' that appears unrelated to initial reports of anger at a video that defamed the prophet Muhammad." (Glenn Kessler, "Fact Check: Libya Attack,"
THE FACTS: Politico 's Mike Allen: In The Rose Garden, Obama Said "Very Generally, We Will Not Let Acts Of Terror Go Unpunished." POLITICO's MIKE ALLEN: "There's going to be a bunch of fact checks, but just to do a fact check here. When Governor Romney said that Obama had been slow in calling the Libya attack terrorism and the President said 'oh wait a minute, in the Rose Garden, the day after, I referred to an act of terror', Candy Crowley stepped in and said that he was right. It's actually arguable. And I'm looking at the transcript of that White House event the day after and he started by referring to them as selfless acts, which is casted very differently than the sort of very planned action that we now have. Later toward the end, he makes a reference to 9/11 and he says, very generally, we will not let acts of terror go unpunished.
LIES and MISDIRECTION: the day after the attacks In The Rose Garden, Obama said very generally, "We will not let acts of terror go unpunished." There is a world of difference between an "act of terror" and terrorism. We saw an Act of terror in an AMC Colorado movie theater! That was NOT terrorism.
