Problem is he went on David Letterman and The View and said flat out it was caused by a protest over that stupid video that's been out since July.
Meanwhile, everybody and their brother realized it happened on the anniversary of 9-11 and was a military style attack.
THEN he went to the U.N. and gave a freakin' speech claiming that it was the video that caused it.
He did say that "no act of terror" would go unpunished on the next day...right before he came here to Vegas a couple of hours later for a big campaign fund raiser.
He definitely was trying to make us all think it was that video. He kept saying it over and over in speeches. He also had his press guy and other officials all saying it too.
Not sure what the purpose of it was. Some say it was because he didn't want his policies in the Middle East to look weak in regards to how he handled Egypt and Iran and our dealings with other countries.
I guess sending drones to kill people isn't really a "policy". Just more of the Bush way of doing things.
