Yup... Just as I thought... I knew this was what you were talking about.
It didn't blow any holes in anything... There were violent protests over that video going on in Cairo and other parts of the Middle East, and even if Obama assumed the Benghazi attacks were also due to those protests at the time, it doesn't change the fact that by the end of the night, he was told by Panetta and General (forgot his name) that it was a terrorist attack, not a protest that got out of hand.
In fact, just a few days after the attack, Democratic Senator Carl Levin, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said to the media after receiving a briefing from the Defense Secretary that “it was a planned, premediated attack.”
Obama lied... That's something you're just going to have to live with.
Premeditated does not preclude using a youtube video as an excuse.
