Er... maybe I misunderstood the question. I don't think they let people die for that reason, either. I'm really not sure what caused them to make the calls they made on that front, or if they could have even done anything once the attacks were under way. I do think the reason they pimped some obscure YouTube video and the idea that this was mob violence rather than a coordinated terrorist attack is because the narrative leading into the election was that Obama was the guy who got bin Laden.
