Full Transcript of Obama's Rose Garden Speech After Sept. 11 Benghazi Attack - October 16 12 10:31 EDT - ForexTV.com
Only a moron would pretend that discussing terrorist acts wasn't discussing terrorists acts.
You would think if he was going to call the attack on Benghazi a terrorist attack he'd have done it right here:
And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.
He never referred to Benghazi as a terrorist attack he was speaking of 9/11/01 and the resolve the American people when he said 'acts of terror'.
But let's pretend he did call it a terrorist attack. Explain why for weeks the message out of the WH never mentioned terrorist attack but instead continually referred to it as being due to protestors/mob over the film.
From your link:
Under the video is a press release later distributed by the Whitehouse that includes the word "terror" used in the generic sense, not referring to "terrorism" or "terrorist act". The choice of words is not a trivial matter in White House parlance, and the word "terrorist act" has an historic and specific meaning. Nor did any of the official Whitehouse statements in the following two weeks refer to "terrorist act." Nor did President Obama tonight refer to the attack as a "terrorist act." We maintain that there was a meaningful distinction in the use of the word that could have easily been dispelled and/or clarified tonight...it was not.
