as the cause of the tragedy. the secretary of state made no reference of ankind as a terrorist attacks. >> americans couldn't to religious tolerance goes back to the beginning of our nation. let me be clear. there is no justification. lou: only 40 minutes later esident made an appearance in the rose garden. he talked for five minutes much of that time talking about his september 11th merial duties and wounded four years in arlington cemetery and around the world then sd. >> no acts of terror will ever resolve this great nation, alter the character

or eclipse the values we stand for. will not waver and our commitment to see justice is done. lou: preceded by reference on september 11th with a terrorist attack on erican soil for that that point* field on a administrations already knew those attacks were acts ofterrorism with ties to al qaeda that has attacked our consulates and the ambassadorsteakhouse. to defend the backing of the arab spring. >> recent defense given you any pause about your support with the arabs praying? >> it is the right thing to do with democracy, universal

rights that people have to participate in their own governance. i continue to be certain there will be bumps in the road. >> on the 12th of september, i his statement benghazi was a terrorist act did not stop the president from flying off to a campaign fund-raiser. fox news had sources poinng to al qaeda it involvent. say benghazi was a triff strike timed to september 11th. then the president opened his appearance wit the mention of the attack after spending the restof the

evening campaigning. >> i want to say a few words about a tough day that we had today. we lost four americans last night who wereilled when they were attacked added diplomatic post in india. -- libya. they were serving overseas on our behalf. because you are a battleground state you realize we have an election going on. >> the following day the state department fielded questions about security on the gund. >> we did evaluate the threat to and determined the security that benghazi was appropriate for what we knew

it. lou: secretary of state clinton continue to try the video, fabricated demonstrations to thos attacks and murders. >> there is no justification, none at all. to respond with violence. lou: september 14th jay carney insist the attack was spurred by the patio, the denstrations and it was spontaneous nothing to do with terrorism. >> these protestswere in reaction to a video that had spread to the region. with no information to suggest it was preplanned or not in reaction to 9/11. lou: the ambassador of stevens nd three other americans were met at

andrews air force base later that morning. the secretary of state repeated the false claims that srces told us were false. >> we saw rage and violenceirected at the embassy over internet video we had nothing to do with. it is hard for the amerin people to make sense of that. it is senseless. lou: the white house has not explained it was a trrorist attack why they wou dispatch on sunday, our ambassador to the united nations, susan rice to appear on five talk-show said. she repeats the attack was spontaneous and born of a

video protest. >> the best and permission and assessment the have today this was not preplanned your premeditated. initially, a reaction to what transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. lou: the following day the state department spokesperson was questioned refuse to acknowledge the obama administration had enough and permission to know what happened. we know her subsequent statements are incorrect based on testimony to the house oversight committee. >> simply on the basis of what ambassador rice has publicly disclosed -- disclosed from what happed in benghazi and act f terror? >> will ot put labels until we have a complete investigation. >> not to enact a terrorism?

>> we do not know enough. lou: september 18 the president continues to avoid the white house press corps but does participate in hard-hitting discussions with david letterman telling him the video is responsible. >> are we at war? what happens? >> we had video released by somebody who liveshere, a shadowy character who had an extremely offensive video directed at muhammed, islam. >> making fun of the profit muhammed. >> this caused great offense and the muslim world. >> september 19 ahead of the counterterrorism broke from the white useewith his testimony on capitol hl.

>> would you say ambassador stevens died as a result of a terrorist attack? >> on that particular question, i would say they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy. lou: that confirms the state department and others has been monitoring the eves on the ground in realtime in benghazi. that video shot by reuters from ather vanta point* giving us a picture much the same with the state department was seeing as those four amecans were killed. next day jay carney tells a

different story. that it is "self-evident what happened and benghazi was a terrorist attack. suddenly was self-evident and suddenly a terrorist atck. but then a bomb ahd is on s words in the interview with the new vision. >> the white house said today it was a terrorist attacks. >> we're still doing an investigation. i don want to speak to something until we have all of theinformation. we don't know yet. lou: the next day secretary clinton states unequivocably the events were a terrorist attack that the mysteries and had known nearly two weeks. >> what happened in benghazi was a terrorist attack.

we wll not rest until we trk down and bring to justice the terrorist to murdered four americans. lou: three days ter obama's still hedging even though the top diplomat has revealed the true nature of the attacks. the present sits down with his friends on the view. >> i heard hillary clinton say it is an act of terrorism. >> we're still doing the investigation. no doubt the weaps hat reduced common the ongoing assaults, it was not just a mob action. lou: reverss continue one day later in front of the united nations. obama'sit reverts back to the anti-islam and patio story mentioning the video six times >> no speech justifies mindless violence. [alause]

there are no words to skews the killing of innocents. no video to justifies an attack. lou: two days later defense secretary on panetta breaks with the administration, the president's claims and defense etary panetta hoes clinton's statements. >> the reason it was a terrorist attack because a group of terrorists obviously conducted that attack on the consoles against individuals. what terrorists were involved still remains to be determined. early was a group that conducted that attack against that facility cement the president's people stard to call benghazi now enacted terror after fox

news reported they had information in the day after the attack for president still has not address the amican public to explain what happened and why. tter what version of history the administration is trying to sell. the president made an appearance on the aily show" with jon stewart. another hard-hitting question a answer session. with a question about communication between the whitehouse, ste department and other agcies that president obama's said "if more americans get kied, it is not optimal" we will have much more ahead on the benghazi terrorist attack the statement, assertions cover reversals from the
