Fact Check: Libya attack

Fact Check: Libya attack

What did Obama say in the Rose Garden a day after the attack in Libya? ”No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this nation,” he said.

But he did not say “terrorism”—and it took the administration days to concede that that it was an “act of terrorism” that appears unrelated to initial reports of anger at a video that defamed the prophet Muhammad.

Candy Crowley gets it wrong: Obama never called Benghazi a ‘terror attack’ in Rose Garden speech

Romney looked at him with consternation as the president didn’t say whether he called the Libya attack an act of terrorism on September 12.

To much surprise, debate moderator Candy Crowley interjected herself into the conversation and said that the president did in fact call it a terrorist attack during the Rose Garden speech, thereby shielding the president from embarrassment over the question.

“He did in fact say it was an act of terror,” Candy Crowley said to Gov. Romney.

A review of the official transcript on the White House website and the video from the Rose Garden address shows that not once did the president call the Benghazi attack a "terror attack." He used the word "terror" exactly once, late in his address:

“No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.” From the context, it was clear that his reference to "terror" was general. Not once did he apply that characterization to Benghazi.

Candy crowley admits she was wrong

CNN reporter Candy Crowley, the town hall debate moderator, admitted that she was wrong and Mitt Romney was right--Obama did not call the Benghazi murders an act of terror the next day.

The next debate is on Foreign affairs and If I were Romney I would make sure the viewers know Ms. Crowley misspoke tonight and she had to admit it after the debate was over and she had a chance to view the transcript like she told everyone else to do. Obama was openly lying about the Benghazi attack for two weeks and he needs to be held accountable for thoses lies. I hope Romney also makes a point of asking who sent Ambassador Susan Rice out to the 5 Sunday morning talk shows pushing a story the OBAMA Administration already knew was A LIE.

DRONE VIDEOS AND REAL TIME CONVERSATIONS WITH BENGHAZI PROVED THEY WERE LYING. AS DID THE LIBYAN PRESIDENT WHEN HE CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY AND SAID IT WAS A PREMEDITATED ATTACK.

She "misspoke" knowing that millions would be viewing her incorrect assertion, but only a few would notice her correction a few hours later.

EXACTLY what I feared. I hope it is brought up in the next debate.
I'd hate to think it was a set-up by the moderator~but you never know.

Romney should welcome the next moderator. Tell him you are glad he is there to let them debate unlike the one previous moderator that interjected herself in the debate with false information and kept the people from seeing the facts.
