Foreign Policy

In one of those cases in which the truth is more corrupt than fiction could imagine, CBS' 60 minutes releases transcript of Obama claiming it was "too early to tell" if the Benghazi attack was an act of terrorism.
"Obama said he referred to it as an act of terror Sept. 12 in a statement in the Rose Garden at the White House. Debate moderator Candy Crowley of CNN agreed and told Romney he was wrong.
But in an interview with CBS newsman Steve Kroft after the Rose Garden statement but on the same day, Obama was asked what he meant because Kroft indicated it was unclear:
Kroft: Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya attack. Do you believe that this was a terrorist attack?
Obama: Well it's too early to know exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans.
CBS News waited until Nov. 4 to post that portion of its interview and offered no explanation as to why it delayed release of a video clip that was pertinent to what became a significant story at the time."
You can't make this stuff up. The only possible reason they might have sat on it until now was to protect Obama before the election. Thankfully, since Romney is just as bad as Obama, this isn't a big deal, but the naked political motivation is obvious. Our media is a scam, and therefore our election are a scam.
