There was no protest in Libya, just a terrorist attack on the safe house. Only an anonymous source was used in your link anyway.

They don't count? Are we playing tag? An US embassy is considered American soil. The obama administration is calling it a terrorist attack, so you should listen to your leader like a good little obamalover. Why don't you tell the ambassador's widow that this didn't "count" as a terrorist attack!

Obama has nothing to offer or the next four years so people are blindly voting out of worship.
Everyone knew it was a terrorist attack: The Moderates, Liberals and Conservatives. Why the State department said the attack was all because of a several month old movie is beyond me.

This was Sunday 9/16

Ambassador Susan Rice: Libya Attack Not Premeditated - Yahoo! News
"We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to - or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo," Rice said. "And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons… And it then evolved from there."
..
Rice's account directly contradicts that of Libyan President Mohamed Yousef El-Magariaf, who said this weekend that he had "no doubt" the attack was pre-planned by individuals from outside Libya.
"It was planned, definitely, it was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago, and they were planning this criminal act since their arrival," told CBS News.

What kind of crap is that? "Sort of Challenge". They were just a bunch of care free people walking trough the streets with RPGs on they're shoulders.

Can't take the poll. The options assume facts not in evidence.

But as of today, he still blames the video;

“We’re still doing an investigation,” 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 the extremists to see if they could directly harm U.S. interests.”

what a load! dude you know full well there were news organizations reporting that the information from the WH was wrong and that this was a coordinated attack!

The WH stood by that until they simply couldnt any longer! This was NOT about them going with the information they had. they had information that there was GOING to be an attack 2 days before it.
