The second presidential debate: 10/16/2012

There was no riot in Libya at all? This is literally the first time I’ve heard this. I tried several Google searches using variations on “Libya riot,” but I haven’t found anything that indicates that there were no riots at all. What source am I missing for this story?

Boston Globe Today

During a congressional hearing last week, State Department officials said there was no video protest in Benghazi.

While Obama did call the attack an act of terror almost right away, for days afterward his administration also provided an account of events in Benghazi that proved false.

Lindsey Graham on the 15th of this month

Graham, a Seneca Republican who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that there never was a riot at the embassy, the attack lasted six hours or more, and the administration knew all of that within 24 hours.

“But the administration officials and Obama himself kept talking about an attack inspired by a video,” Graham said.

Romney, during the debate said it.

And there was no demonstration involved. It was a terrorist attack and it took a long time for that to be told to the American people.

Obama didn’t challenge this. It’s not in dispute, except I guess to those of you who don’t know.
