Quote from AK Forty Seven:
Speaking about Benghazi the day after
"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done."
1) If you want to believe that he directly called benghazi a terrorist attack go right ahead, I disagree and so did Candy, after the fact:
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/candy-cr...-terror-but-thought-he-picked-the-wrong-word/ For all we know he was speaking about the original 9/11 attacks.
2) Since you deem that in this little excerpt of his Rose Garden speech, obama implied that the attack in benghazi was committed by terrorists, then the excerpts below from his UN speech, a full 14 days later,
absolutely imply the attack was due to the video. We KNOW he knew this was bullshit at the time, so it is a LIE. Plus he is contradicting himself (if he called it terrorism in the rose garden), and this excludes all of the contradiction between his admin; carney, rice, clinton, olsen, cutter. Also, this excludes numerous other times where he blamed the video
after his rose garden speech (see below).
"That is what we saw play out the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world."
"And on this we must agree: there is no speech that justifies mindless violence."
"There are no words that excuse the killing of innocents. There is no video that justifies an attack on an Embassy."
Note that he mentioned terrorism one time, and NOT in relation to benghazi, but iran.
"...the Iranian government props up a dictator in Damascus and supports terrorist groups abroad."
Here is the whole transcript if you don't believe me:

^no mention of terrorists, he is also still claiming the attack was under the cover of mob action.
Anyway we slice it AK he fucking lied. And this doesn't even touch what actually happened on 9/11/12.. whether he made the call to not intervene in the attack.
