President Obama and the White House have spent the past week trying to deflect criticism for their poor handling of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The Obama administration has blamed a video trailer for causing the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters: "It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack... Our embassy was attacked violently and the result was four deaths of American officials. So, again, that’s self-evident."
Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) asked National Counterterrorism Center director Matthew Olsen about the attack. Olsen responded, "Yes, they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy."
Ambassador Stevens' death marks the first terrorist assassination of a U.S. ambassador since 1979 -- another link Obama doesn't want to share with President Carter.

+3The never ending Barack apology tour now continues with Hillary as a costar. God help us he's gotta go. Hawaii, Kenya, Chicago, Indonesia just go bye bye Barry.
If it's not terrorist, than who is? A child with poster "Flat Tax", by the Capitol?
NOW, Stop apologizing for our country defending itself against these radical Islamo-fascists!
Obama is openly, transparently and obviously telling lies and most of the media are his accomplices.
Where are the honest liberals on this?
*crickets chirping*
The Consulate in Benghazi is not listed on the State Department nor the Embassy in Tripoli's web sites. So it's purpose was something other than Consular Services. The safe house was known to the attackers. Most likely some of them were on the inside and probably had access. The escape route from the Consulate to the safe house was known and the convoy was hit by fire the whole way, and then the safe house was attacked. The Ambassador was singled out and kidnapped before being sodomized and suffocated. Six hours went by from the time of his kidnapping to when they found his body.
Some one with ready access to this Consulate put this together.
I do have to say that Fox News was the only news organization who continued to question and investigate while all the others bought the WH lie, hook, line and sinker and spewed those same lies back to their viewers. But the silly libs will continue to mock Fox and it's viewers and still swear that the LSM is not biased for obama.
So is a terrorist...
Our Gov't has been doing crap like this for years both on foreign and domestic soil. It's all about how to create false flag wars to make money and power for a select group.
