In making his Rose Garden statement without acknowledging terrorism, Pres. Obama would have had to completely ignore the Daily Brief he received earlier, which clearly defined the
#Benghazi attack as an "intentional assault and not the escalation of a peaceful protest." This description of an "intentional assault" was written by the Executive Coordinator of the Presidential Daily Brief, who had a military background. Her explanation: "I had 20 years of Army experience. You know, this is the military person in me. I just can't buy that something that's this coordinated, this organized, and this sophisticated was something that they just did on the spur of the moment." She personally took the 9/12 Presidential Daily Brief to the White House, presented it to Obama's Chief of Staff Jack Lew and hand-delivered it to an usher to give to the president, giving him NO excuse to characterize the
#Benghazi attacks as anything other than terrorism.
