Or are you saying it is o.k. for you to make a general statement about me, but when I make a general statment about you, I'm worng for doing such, and you are justified...

LOL...
I wasn't making a general statement about you, I was simply doubting you would be satisfied with anything Obama could have done.

One should hope so, given the former occurred on U.S. soil. Tad more challenging to figure out what's what 5000 miles away in unfriendly territory.

If you think that speech writers do not carefully pick their words for a very specific reason, you are blind, naive, and have not been paying attention. Those speech writers know EXACTLY what they are doing when they choose the words that they use. And if you think that NO ONE advised your dear leader what to say, which words to use, and why, you are doubly blind, naive, and have not been paying attention.

You would assume that, however, obama was notified that same night, right?

I am sure they do, just like Bush's speech writers. But you can argue till you are blue in the face, act of terror is the same as terrorist attack.

Senate report confirmed it was an attack on Benghazi, when is an attack not calculated? So we agree it was a terrorist attack

It's pretty evident that you are not strong when it comes to writing, literature, or anything else to do with any thing involving the English language beyond being able to speak it in the most basic sense. If you had ANY experience with writing, and fully understanding context, usage, terms, and full definitions, you would not even be making this argument. Your dear leader is not the first to do it, of course not, and just to remind you, we aren't talking about Bush; another thing you libbies grasp on to when you know you have no argument.

The definitions have already been pointed out to you, it is up to you to educate yourself. We can hand you the tools, but if you just stare at the tools and say, "These tools won't help me build anything", then you should bow out before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.
