Let me point out to you that we actually didn't know exactly who attacked us until yesterday, 5 weeks after the tragedy, when the specifics were announced by the Libyan Government. Even they weren't sure at the onset. They thought the attack was at the hands of pro Gaddafi forces, seeking revenge for our help in his overthrow.

Also, there WERE demonstrations in Benghazi, over that anti Islamic film, just prior to the attacks. As they receded, the terrorists attacked. Two separate groups, two separate events, joined only by coincidence. Republicans deny there were demonstrations there, in spite of the fact that it was verified as such by the Libyan's, eye witnesses, & it was reported by Reuters & the NY Times, who stand by their reporting to this day.

It took 9 days, NOT "Two weeks", for the Obama Administration to clarify that it was a Terrorist attack. This happened at a Whitehouse briefing on 9-20. This is in spite of the fact that Obama himself referenced them as such the day after 9-11, & over the next several days. 5 days after the attack on 9-16, Ambassador Rice went on the Sunday Talk Shows to claim they "Didn't have the intelligence to prove it was a pre planned attack".

There was much confusion over the tragedy, & Romney chose to make critical assertions beginning hours after the events, in a reckless manner. The fact that it only took 9 days for the Obama Administration to verify it was a terrorist attack, shows a CONSERVATIVE & thoughtful approach as opposed to a knee jerk reaction, favored by the Right Wing. The fact that it was an entire 5 WEEKS before we found out exactly who was responsible bears out just how much confusion there was.

The Romney/Republican approach was reckless, cavalier, & a crass political move designed to hurt the President weeks before an election. Are you aware Republicans inadvertently outed our CIA operations in Benghazi during their dog & pony show disguised as a Congressional hearing? That's treasonous.
