Wallace asked Graham, after playing portions of Obama's Rose Garden remarks, whether the president and his team called the attack an act of terror from the beginning, adding, 'Do you really believe that they were playing politics with the way they were spinning out this story?'
The administration 'has a history of playing politics' with foreign policy, Graham replied, offering up their 'leaking every detail' of the Osama bin Laden raid as an example. They have consistently leaked details from classified information, he argued, saying the reason they don't want to admit the Libya attack was tied to Al Qaeda is because it 'undercuts the narrative' that bin Laden's death dismantled Al Qaeda.
Wallace noted that despite what the president says about his own statements, his team clearly refrained from deeming it a terrorist attack. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and Ambassador Susan Rice being examples of those team members.
Durbin pointed to changing information following the attack, and went on to deny Graham's assertion that Obama's foreign policy record is dismal. Wallace interjected, noting that if the CIA's best intelligence right after the attack indicated a spontaneous demonstration, why then is Obama claiming he called it an act of terror the day after?
'Well of course it involves an act of terror whether it was a result of a spontaneous demonstration or something that was planned,' Durbin said. 'It is terrorism in any form.'
Yes, but Obama's administration refused to say it in the first few weeks, Wallace countered ' a point Durbin plainly disagreed with.
The last word went to Graham, who vehemently said there was nothing spontaneous about the attack, and the CIA said as much within 24 hours. He went on to issue a laundry list of points he said clearly demonstrated the failure of Obama's foreign policy.

I don't know, to me it didn't really seem like Chris Wallace took anything apart, it actually seems like Wallace doesn't understand the American security apparatus, and that's where his confusion stems from over Obama's response.
-
The reason that he and no one really understands, is that the facts are still being investigated, and haven't all come out yet. People are trying to put together a puzzle with only half the pieces.
-
Dog squeeze!!! They have had more than a month and during that time their story has changed several times from differnt people.
-
If you watched he end of that little get together you will have noticed
Chris Wallace's did not come close to the verbal ass whuppin' that
Senator Graham applied to Durbin and the Obama regime regarding
this Libya F*k up and attempted cover-up and all the Middle East lack of leadership.
He laid it out in perfect detail.
Govenor Romney would be smart if he asked Graham permission to
use his exact words tomorrow night.
Damn, I almost felt sorry
for Durbin after Graham finished !!!
ALMOST!!!!!! -
The story hasn't changed. The facts in evidence have changed as more information is gathered, and comes in.
It reminds me of a recent case in my home town when a dead body was found in a house, and it was initially ruled a suicide. After more time to investigate, it was determined that it was in fact a homicide, and after more time and investigation they actually caught the killer.
Thing aren't always what they seem on day number one, and don't always end up looking like what you thought they were over time.
The fact is that the wingnuts are trying to spin this as some colossal failure on the part of the US government, and in fact the only failure was the fact that they said anything at all until a thorough investigation was completed.
There's a reason for 'no comment.'
-
Obama and Candys ambush of Romney in the debate last week is going to blow up in his face (and hers).
-
I hope that the President asks Mittens if he supports Issa's irresponsible witch hunt, and the fact that the a##hat released the names of people supporting the United States potentially putting them in harms way, and did so unnecessarily and only for partisan gain.
The idiot might as well have put a target on those folks backs.
-
Ambush? You've got to be kidding. Who asked to be thrown in the briar patch.
That is probably more moronic than most of your posts, which is saying something.
-
Al-Qaeda is alive and well in Libya because USA help bring there'. Clearly Gaddafi had manage to keep them out'
I just hate they way this people like to decouple everything and move straight to what they think will score them political points.
Not Every attack is Terrorism..
Yes the Obama Administration did not have their story out right'
