Also on Sept. 14, White House spokesman Jay Carney denied that the administration had any prior intelligence that the attacks were "planned or imminent."



"We were not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent. That report is false," Carney said.

OH stupid ones....we can't start another war over this....the english and german embassies were also attacked and they aren't starting a WAR. What are you asking for--- anyway troops over there and start shooting the mobs of thousands of people for revenge? The facility was only a interim meeting place and the Embassies that we have are all are protected by marines. In fact the republicans (including Paul Ryan) voted against funding that would go to the embassy security. You want the Pentagon---the White House to give out information that would help the enemy? In fact all this complaining by the republicans only gives comfort to the enemy...and solves nothing.

The State Dept made deep cuts in the security budget for embassies before the attack. What a bunch of dumb ^&^& doing this before a 9/11 anniversary

Listened to CBS national news last night and the ONLY line they fed the American people was the Liberal Lie about the video. No wonder Americans are so ill-informed and vote for Obama!

Why does it matter that the administration doesn't rush to declare it a terrorist attack? Would the world have been any better off had the administration jumped to the conclusion immediately instead of waiting a week to get the facts?

The only improvement would be we would not have to listen to all these pundits and politicians trying to make something of this non-issue.

Its because they lied about it to the american public when the people responsible for investigating it had already declared it a terrorist attack had occured in an attempt to make the president look better.
