A week after the attack on the Libyan consulate, the Obama administration finally admits it was a terrorist attack.

Obama says terrorists used the protests over the video as a pretext for the terrorist attack. The only problem is that there were no protests at the time. The consulate's landlord (why does the US consulate have a landlord?) says there was no protest before the attack. A Libyan guard says there was no protest before the attack.

"Four other contracted guards, and three members of Libya's 17th of February Brigade, a group that was formed at the start of the uprising that ousted Libya's former military dictator, Col. Muammar Gaddafi, and integrated into the Libyan security forces, made up the security force protecting the outer perimeter of the consulate grounds; along with the eyewitness. According to this witness, that meant that the total security team guarding the perimeter of the compound were eight guards."

Eight to fight off 125 attackers.
