| Ckmlb1 said: He specifically mentions that last night there was an attack in Benghazi and then talks about American freedom is contingent on the sacrifices of people like those that died followed by an act of terror won't change the US. Why would he still be referring to the original 9/11 right after mentioning the new attack and those that died? And then he follows it up with justice will be done for this act and that their deaths are in stark contrast to the attackers and that their death stood for liberty. |
It could be that he was. It's just not particularly clear to me. I agree that whether it's a mob angered by a video or a designated terrorist group, such an act of murder could still technically be called a terrorist attack. So I'm not particularly concerned with what words he used and whether or not he called it "terrorism" but with the misleading about the video and the way we were all allowed to think it was just a protest that had turned violent. Did they just not want to use the words "al-Qaeda" because it was politically problematic, or what?
