When did that happen? Last I saw, the NY Times reported the key suspect was relaxing in his hotel, sipping a strawberry frappe.

Stop living in your little bubble and watch this interview. How the heck can this man stand there and blame Obama for lack of security and in a few seconds, when asked if he voted against adding security say "ABSOLUTELY! IT WASN'T A PRIORITY."

Give me a freaking break, now you want to put the blame on Romney? And you don't like my source, so you post crap from Media Matters? Wow, you have zero integrity or respect for the truth.

Why not just shorten the quote to "terror" and then claim Obama was talking about being afraid at a horror movie.

He referred to any act of terror, but then he blamed this act on a video which would make it a spontaneous act, similar to second degree murder as opposed to a planned act which would be like first degree murder. So even though he did use the words 'act of terror', he could not admitted it was an actual planned act of terror or he would have to explain why he left the embassy wide open to a terrorist attack.

No need. We already know Obama didn't call the attack in Benghazi an act of terror. The proof is in the transcript.

Exactly. Any intelligent person can clearly understand that.

Again Romney agreed that act of terror was an appropriate term. And the Presidents used acts. Certainly the WTC was in that set. So he was describing a number of items...

You would therefore have to decide he was talking about items other than Benghazi...which would not be in the context of the remarks.

You simply can't get where you are going on these remarks.

Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose garden
