there ar e 3 issues:
Before
During
after
Before they ignored the warnings.
After , they jailed the filmmaker and lied about it being a film, and spent 70k on coomercials in PUCKEESTAN
I’ll give the benefit of doubt during
I agree. They can confound and confuse the “during” but the before and after are clear.The main point right now is that people thinking of voting for Obama need to explain to us why we were lied to so publicly and so adamantly for so many days, when they could have just said they were still sorting through. The article weakly tries to excuse the excuses, which might work if the excuses had not gone on for days and days and if the video maker had not been so publicly “disappeared.” They painted a huge target on this guy and they stirred up additional trouble in other areas of the Middle East with this over the top video story. For now, that is a vulnerablity.
