An Act Of Terror
Posted by Glenn SR | | Posted on 10:56 PM
There is a shred of truth that the President did not say "Terror Attack" However the accusation by Romney was:
ROMNEY: "I -- I think interesting the president just said something which -- which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said that this was AN ACT OF TERROR."
Romney: "You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was AN ACT OF TERROR."
ROMNEY: "I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi AN ACT OF TERROR."
Though it is true that the President's Rose Garden speech did not use the term "Terror Attack". But the accusation was that Obama did not say "AN ACT OF TERROR" A term that was used in the debate by Romney "4" times himself. It's perfectly clear that this whole issue was politicalized with the use of a play of words. We did not see this type of behavior when three thousand souls perished on 9/11. You did not see anyone politicalized the event merely within 24hrs after the event. Furthermore the Benghazi victims family was still in the process of being notified when Romney made his accusation.
On September 13, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, said authorities "are very cautious about drawing any conclusions with regard to who the perpetrators were, what their motivations were, (and) whether it was premeditated" until they had completed an investigation.
Obama: "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."
Additionally on September 13, at a campaign event in Las Vegas, Obama vowed to bring the killers to justice. He then added, "NO ACT OF TERROR" will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world, and no act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America." And that's certainly not 14 DAYS AFTER THIS TRAGIC EVENT. I thought the Republicans were Christians. But this is very disingenuous of them.
