Figures. Obama White House Immediately Calls US Embassy Blast in Turkey an “Act of Terror”

Two weeks after the Benghazi massacre, during his Univision interview, Barack Obama was still not sure if it was a terrorist attack.

The Obama administration still refuses to call the Ft. Hood massacre a terrorist attack.

But, today the Obama White House immediately said the suicide bombing in Ankara was a terrorist attack.
Jammie Wearing Fool reported:

The suicide attack carried out at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara was “clearly an act of terror,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Friday.

“A suicide bombing in the perimeter of an embassy is by definition an act of terror, a terrorist attack,” Carney told reporters at Friday’s daily briefing.

It’s an Obama world.

I thought the war on terror was supposed to over.

Over? You mean like with the president delivering a victory speech under a giant “Mission Accomplished” sign? Sounds vaguely familiar.

Well, Hillary told us “that a video, at that point, did make a difference” when she tried to blame it for Benghazi…

You can knock yourself out trying to counter that fact. But it will still remain a fact nonetheless…

Nonsense. Hillary passed on what she was told by intelligence. And they later corrected it to say that likely wasn’t the case.

“So then. “What difference, at this point, does it make?” Whether it was a riot or someone walking down the street who decided to attack?

What makes the difference at this point?

what a load of crap, and you know it..

minions down and out in approx 3 weeks..

Bush makes historic speech aboard warship

[In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty and for the
peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud of this
accomplishment, yet it is you, the members of the United States
military, who achieved it. Your courage, your willingness to face
danger for your country and for each other made this day possible.

Because of you our nation is more secure. Because
of you the tyrant has fallen and Iraq is free.

Operation Iraqi Freedom was carried out with a combination of
precision and speed and boldness the enemy did not expect and
the world had not seen before.

[..]

We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We’re bringing order to parts
of that country that remain dangerous. We’re pursuing and finding
leaders of the old regime who will be held to account for their crimes.
We’ve begun the search for hidden chemical and biological weapons,
and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated.

We are helping to rebuild Iraq where the dictator built
palaces for himself instead of hospitals and schools.

And we will stand with the new leaders of Iraq as they
establish a government of, by and for the Iraqi people.

The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it
is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done
and then we will leave and we will leave behind a free Iraq.

The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that
began on September the 11th, 2001 and still goes on.]

“I’ve never said that troops should be withdrawn. What I’ve said
is, is that we’ve got to make sure that we secure and execute the
rebuilding and reconstruction process effectively and properly, and
I don’t think we should have an artificial deadline when to do that.”

Senator Barack Obama (Democrat, Illinois)
During an interview on “Chicago Tonight” with Elizabeth Brackett
April 5, 2004

Obama: Don’t stay in Iraq over genocide

[Obama said the answer to Iraq — and
other civil conflicts — lies in diplomacy.

“When you have civil conflict like this, military efforts and protective forces can play an important role, especially if they’re under an international mandate as opposed to simply a U.S. mandate. But you can’t solve the underlying problem at the end of a barrel of a gun,” he said. “There’s got to be a deliberate and constant diplomatic effort to get the various factions to recognize that they are better off arriving at a peaceful resolution of their conflicts.”]

so Barry, hows that “diplomacy” (kissing enemy butt at home and abroad)
working out for US?? Stevens?? Woods?? Doherty?? Smith?? Bueller?? /s/

He can call this a terror attack because the press is calling this clown a Marxist instead of a Muslim. What a joke. Our Pres belongs in both demographics, or at least is an apologist for them.

In the interest of public safety, people need to be on the look-out for this guy. Somehow he managed to walk out of the court house and is now on the loose. I think Indiana would like to get him back.

LMAO Yeah, right! That was the “damage control” version of the sign. At the time, it was all:
Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.

Funny, I don’t see him singling out the USS Lincoln.

unless you’re just playing games (my bet)
you can’t possibly be serious (your game):

just a sample re:

September 11/12, 2012

US ambassador killed in ‘co-ordinated al Qaeda revenge
attack by terrorists who used Libyan Mohammed movie
protest as cover’

[Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to publicly discuss troop movements.

It is believed that the attack, which occurred on the 11th
anniversary of the September 11 attacks, was a planned
ambush carried out by terrorists using a pro-Islam protest
as cover.]

September 13, 2012

Benghazi Attack Revenge for Drone Kill of Abu Yahya al-Libi
aka Mohammed Hassan Qaed: WH State Had 48 Hrs Warning

[There is growing belief that the attack was in revenge for the killing
in a drone strike in Pakistan of Mohammed Hassan Qaed, an al-Qa’ida
operative who was, as his nom-de guerre Abu Yahya al-Libi suggests,
from Libya, and timed for the anniversary of the 11 September attacks.]

September 14, 2012

Libya’s president says embassy attack planned by al-Qaeda

The attack on the US consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans
and ten Libyans was the work of “experienced masterminds” that had
been planned well in advance, “I think this was al-Qaeda,” Mohamed
al-Magarief, the Libyan president, said to Al Jazeera in an interview
with Hoda Abdel-Hamid.

September 14, 2012

Obama administration warned of possible
attacks, but failed to take precautions

[Sources close to U.S. President Barack Obama's administration revealed that White House officials apparently received warnings that there were threats made to attack as many as seven U.S. missions in the Middle East, on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, as early as September 4. Sources also revealed that additional warnings were received a few days later, with similar information, but that all of the warnings were largely ignored by the administration. Normally when such warnings are received by the administration, the threat level is raised at U.S. installations around the world. At this point, there is no evidence that the Obama administration communicated the warnings with Consular officials in Libya or Egypt in advance of attacks that took place Monday in Benghazi, Libya and Cairo, Egypt, leaving the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans dead, with eight others wounded, including some U.S. military personnel.]

Bush was a great diplomat during his reign over OIF, Obama acquired
much that should have been directed toward Bush, as he had it all set
up and ready to go no matter what Barry did, seems Obama knew that
and followed suit tweaking the story with his purple crayon pressers so speak..

Ummm … we were talking about THIS ONE, as in the attack on the embassy in Turkey. Now perhaps you have some information connecting this attack to al qaeda? Or you could just deflect to something else again.
