The BP oil spill would be the better case for questioning Obama's leadership than this I think.

Maybe some of the officials simply didn't have all the facts in the immediate aftermath of the breaking news story, and made the perfectly reasonable assumption that the murder of our Libyan ambassador was connected to the angry mob outside the Libyan consulate. I made the same assumption when I first heard about it; it hardly seems like a huge stretch.

the problem with that being we have since learned that the administration did know better at the time that they made these statements. By Sept 12, the Administration knew it was a terrorist attack, knew the group behind it, and knew how they had gone about planning it.
