Liberal logic = ‘If the word “terrorism” passed OUR President’s lips at any time in any context after the Benghazi attacks that is the same as saying the attack was a terrorist attack and it is a lie to say that they were trying to claim it was an unplanned response/demonstration against an obscure video.’
You certainly 'nailed' the President's 'technique'.
It's all about muttering KEYWORD PHRASES that SOUND GOOD, that RELATE to the issue, but somehow never lead to responsible action.
Actually, he did not use the word "terrorism" in the Rose Garden. He said "terror" which does not mean the same thing.
"Terror" describes what is created, independent of the intent or cause.
"Terrorism" creates terror, but specifically by individuals acting lawlessly with the intent of advancing a political agenda.
The guy who shot up the Batman movie crowd clearly engaged in an act of terror, but was not a terrorist since he had no discernable political agenda as his motivation.
