Obama sees Libya attack as ‘terrorist’ act: Spokesman

President Barack Obama regards the Sept. 11 assault on the American Consulate in Libya as a terrorist attack, the White House said on Wednesday, as Republicans questioned why the commander in chief has not said so publicly.

"It is certainly the case that it is our view as an administration, the president's view, that it was a terrorist attack," press secretary Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One.

"It is, I think by definition, a terrorist attack when there is a prolonged assault on an embassy with weapons," Carney said as Obama headed to Ohio for a campaign swing.

The head of the National Counterterrorism Center labeled the attack "terrorism" last week, as did Carney. Obama, asked about the issue on "The View" this week, did not explicitly agree but said the level of sophistication showed it wasn't just "a mob action." Republicans led by Mitt Romney have said the president needs to clarify whether he views it as a terrorist act.

I tell ya, that obama sure is quick!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

I really have a lot of confidence in a president who has tons of available military intelligence but still takes two weeks to figure out what Helen Keller could have deduced in two minutes.

How long until Hussein bombs a sand dune and declares victory over the jihadis?

“... a prolonged assault on an embassy with weapons...”

These people are idiots

[Pearls Before Swine]

Carney admits it so Obama doesn’t have to.

[SpinnerWebb]

No. A terrorist attack would be an unexpected, quick attack carried out by civilian clothed combatants using improvised weapons, intended to cause more panic than damage.

A prolonged attack with weapons would be an act of war.

[Jeff Head]

Yea, sure he does...weeks later and under mucho politcal pressure.

And even then, he allows Ahmadinejad’s aircraft that brough him to the UN summit to speak here in America to land and park at Andrews Air Force Base.

The man is a sympathiser with our terrorist and extremist ISlamic enemies. Plain and simple. He brought down a strong ally in Egypt, Mubarack, to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to come to power.

It’s certainly been the case that we’ve always been at war with EastAsia.

Sure you did.

U.S. denies premeditation report

"The Obama administration is flatly denying a blaring British newspaper report that the U.S. diplomats in Libya were killed as a result of a “continuing security breach,” and that “credible information” about possible attacks had been ignored. A U.S. official told POLITICO: “There's no intelligence indicating that the attack in Benghazi was premeditated.”"

The 0bama administration is...

“... a prolonged assault on intelligence without any.”
