    Except that he did directly refer to the attack's causes. He said, “What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests.” on Sept. 20th. NINE days after the attack in Benghazi. He said it and several other admin officials said it. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/17/review-obama-hasnt-implicitly-acknowledged-terrori/

    I don't know what you're referring to. Are you saying the investigation was completed within 72 hours?

    Obama's policy in Libya has been a fiasco for American interests. Then he tried to pretend that his policy in Libya was a success until the American ambassador got killed. What a complete debacle!

    He didnt't. He said ACTS of terror, meaning more than one.
    So if he was talking about more than one, it means he is referring to acts of terror in general.

    Need anymore explaining?

    He said ACTS of terror.
    Why didnt he use the word terrorist ONE time when referring to the Benghazi situation? He called it many things, but never referred to it as a terrorist attack.

    Ask yourself this, round day three or four, was you impression that it was a riot gone awry, or a terrorist attack?:

    I've just you tubed the Rose Garden speech and the Libya debate between The President and Gov. Romney. Unfortunately for Mitt, he fell into a semantics trap which made him look like a fool. In the RG speech it is "unclear" as to what word (act or acts) the President said. In the debate both the President and Gov. Romney said Act of Terror, which is correct literally & that is why Mitt came off as incorrect. Regarding the actual attack and it's being investigated let cooler heads prevail and see what transpires. But (*)(*)(*)(*), in Mitt's 47% speech he (*)(*)(*)(*) near foreshadows a terrorist attack doesn't he? Could he have known?

    The definition of terrorism is the use of fear and violence to make a political or social point. However, that does not mean that an act of terrorism can not stem from a larger, peaceful protest. It has come out in the last few weeks that the attack on the embassy was inspired by the protest over the video. It was both an offshoot of the political protest and an act of terror at the same time, the same as a Christian extremist bombing an abortion clinic is both at the same time.

    Does anybody actually care about this issue? It doesn't mean anything. Terrorists aren't going to be all *oh no he said we weren't real terrorists lets bomb more buildings*, so who cares?

    You have so many substantive issues to criticize Obama on and you choose this.

    Here's a few reasons why Libyagate is a substantive issue:
    1. The response by the Obama and his administration was very muddled and weak, not at all what we should expect from a commander-in-chief.
    2. It's one more case where it appears the administration has been less than honest with the American people.
    3. Since it now appears that Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are still active in the middle east, do we need to re-evaluate our ME policy?
    4. What's going on in the State Dept that our ambassadors are being ignored?

    I agree that it's not the only important issue but it's definitely not one to be dismissed.

    As it turns out after 5 weeks of investigation.. the attack was planned at the last minute and they were not al Qaeda.

    Sometimes you just don't get instant answers and have to wait for the investigation.

    Intel on potential attacks may have indicated many targets.

    Currently Khamis Ghadafi... the 28 year old hardliner son has been killed in Bani Walid.

    Hopefully, that means another militia will collapse.

    And do remember that there were protests and demonstrations at nearly every embassy in the region because of that video.

    It was not planned at the last minute. Some weeks ago they blew a hole in the outer perimeter wall.

    When Obama took office it was 10 Trillion, he added 6 Trillion in 4 years, even though he promised to cut the deficit in half. Bush ran a 500 Million deficit meaning Obama promised to cut it to 250 Million but the second he fooled enough sheep and won the election he doubled the Deficit so it rose to 1Trillion. In one 4 year term he added % 60 to America’s external debt, no president has been able to match that even over 2 terms.

    Xenophobes such as yourself aren't in a position to bleat about morals, Highlander.

    Your country and the French ran point on this "genocide" that you're hallucinating about.

    The next time the nice man tells you not to eat the brown acid, do yourself a favor and take his advice...

    And why would that be Mr Talon ....?

    Perhaps it might have something to do with hiding your links with the Nazi Zionist reprobates perhaps?
