don't care, kasz.

I read the transcript, and it appears to me that in English, while not specifically calling it that, the context provides that he was referring to it, otherwise there was no point to bring up terrorism or trangressors save for brining up the anniversary of 9/11 which just so happened was in no way related to what he was talking about except for sharing the same date.

Well... you'd be wrong on that context.

to quote the Washington Post.

(Note: we added this statement to the timeline after Josh Gerstein of Politico asserted that the phrasing “acts of terror” showed Obama acknowledged “terrorism” was behind the attack. From our many years of covering diplomacy we would say there is a world of difference, but readers can draw their own conclusions.)

 

Killer phrased it awfully, but the term "act of terror" has never been an exclusive term for terrorism and generally has been used to mean "fucked up shit."   Things like Assad using helicopters on his own citizens are seen as "acts of terror" but clearly aren't terrorism because  Assad is the state.

>_>

My only complaint is that this is going to be the only thing talked about, when Obama literally pulled down romney;s pants and spanked him tonight :D

That's really only due to the fact that you kept pressing and highlighting a point in which you pretty demonstratably wrong on.

Like, I haven't even seen the debate... and this is the only thing I get out of this thread because you kept going on about something you were just wrong on... I mean, even the Atlantic has no problem admitting that Obama didn't call it a terrorist attack and even went so far as to be behind his own administration in doing so.

"Elsewhere in the Sept. 20 interview, Obama made the startling statement that "you can't change Washington from the inside, you can only change it from the outside." He blamed the deadly storming of the Benghazi consulate on reaction to an incendiary American-made video even though other members of his administration had already begun describing it as a preplanned terrorist attack"

Cnn etc... the fact checkers go against obama and you on this one.  Surprisngly.  Since usually they would just stick to such a quick mention, but actually dug deeper on the issue.

If you want to focus on the parts where Obama beat Romney... focus on those points.  Rather then trying to defend the points where he lost.
