CNN Fact Check: A day after Libya attack,
Posted: Oct 17, 2012
The facts: On September 12, the day after the attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Obama said in comments in the Rose Garden that he had learned about the attack on the consulate the night before.
"Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe," he said. "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."
"The conclusion: Romney's comment was false. Obama did describe the killings in Benghazi as an act of terror twice within two days, though -- in an interview two weeks after the attack -- he appeared to reserve judgment. Two days later, his spokesman clarified his position."

CNN's opinion was "Do facts even matter?" A referral to - the phony issue built out of lies around this. NM

Generalizing - Halo
[ In Reply To ..]He said "acts of terror" in a generalized manner. However, because having the liberal media paid and in his pocket along with the last 2 moderators for debates (including VP), he can do and say whatever he chooses.
If this is true he agrees it was an act of terror, why did he allow Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton to keep mentioning the video? Why did he mention it during his UN speech? Why did he tell Joy Behar it's still being investigated?
Give it up. Weeks of lies cynically using those men's deaths - were nothing but lies. nm

Really if the day after he declared it terrorism - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Then why did he go to the UN 2 WEEKS later and say it was because of the film 12 TIMES...the day after he refered to acts of terrorsim but NEVER said that that was an act of terror...Face it they lied and they got caught
Two words for ya. - Ongoing investigations.

We need to FIRE bad representatives NOW. What other employer - wouldn't have fired them immediately? nm

that would be hysterical...we would have to fire them ALL - anon
[ In Reply To ..]can we start all over again and get rid of them all, including the two-party system? too much fighting, too much finger pointing and blaming, and not enough "getting it done for America!"
Yes! Starting in a couple of weeks, then more in 2 years - even demand some be expelled in the meantime.nm

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? - I don't.
[ In Reply To ..]Mindless, blind acceptance of voluminous Fox sewage spew. Malicious. Really?
Because the video was the trigger the terrorists - were able to exploit. nm

I'd say it was Zero doing the exploiting = exploiting meaning (sm) - LM

9/11 anniversary - m
[ In Reply To ..]He was referring to the anniversary of 9/11.
He wasn't referring to Benghazi. If he was, then he is a hypocrite -- he went on all those shows saying it was because of the video and still investigating. He is a liar. Bottomline, you Obama lovers can't be helped. It is up to the rest of us to get America back on track.
No he wasn't. He made the speech 09/12/12 - in the Rose Garden in
[ In Reply To ..]response to the Benghazi attack. Google Sept 12 2012 Rose Garden speech for a couple of million links to videos and transcripts.
speech - m
[ In Reply To ..]I agree the speech was made in response to the Benghazi attack, but I do not believe he was referring to the Benghazi attack as an act of terror.
He starts to talk about 9/11 and refers to the past attacks as acts of terror. On 09/12/12, Obama was still blaming Benghazi on lies of protestors and a video.
"Of course, yesterday was already a painful day for our nation as we marked the solemn memory of the 9/11 attacks. We mourn with the families who were lost on that day. I visited the graves of troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery, and had the opportunity to say thank you and visit some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed. And then last night we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.
As Americans let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those, both civilian and military, who represent us around the globe.
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 for 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.
But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers. These four Americans stood up for freedom and human dignity. They should give every American great pride in the country that they served, and the hope that our flag represents to people around the globe who also yearn to live in freedom and with dignity.
We grieve with their families, but let us carry on their memory and let us continue their work in seeking a stronger America and a better world for all of our children. Thank you. May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America."

Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition. Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout ...

No End In Sight For U.S. In LibyaMay 18, 2011
The United States is now deep into a seemingly endless, aimless war in Libya, through NATO and in its own right. The rebels against the government of Moammar Gadhafi, based for the most part in eastern Libya, are deeply divided and largely unable to take advantage of the NATO military support they are receiving. Western military advisers are also on the ground. They find the rebels undisciplined and disorganized in their efforts to advance militarily to take towns that Mr. Gadhafi's forces ...
