On September 19th, he called it an act of terrorists. Enlighten me, how would you have handled the statements to the media? What timeline would you have used? Would you have investigated, and tried to find out the truth, or just shot from the hip on it?

Well, if you could post the link proving those words came out of Obama's mouth on the 19th, I'd be interested to see it. I am aware that the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Matthew Olsen, told federal committees that Stevens and three other Ameicans "were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy." But that was Olsen, not Obama. What was Obama doing at the UN on the 25th still blaming the video?

What would I have done? Not sure, but, you can bet your dreams of retirement I wouldn't have floated the bush league cover story he did, or anything like it. The idea of being honest with the American public, though novel in the minds of liberals, wouldn't have needed to be replete with the facts. All that was necessary, was to say it was an act of terror and we're getting to the bottom of what happened. If he'd been even that forthcoming, he'd have had the cover he now needs to escape the firestorm created by lying about it. His campaign line, "Al-Qeada is on the run" was just too good to give up. So, he ran the video story up the flag pole to see if it would fly. It doesn't matter exactly where the idea for the video first came from. They had real time intelligence on the matter. And we know this now because that fact is backed up by an email log.
