Panetta said Thursday ... it was too risky because they did not have a clear picture of what was happening on the ground.
IIRC from another interview, Panetta also also said they were wary of sending troops into an ambush.
How many sponteneous protests come complete with heavy weapons AND an ambush plan?

Bingo! If they knew it was sophisticated, or at least were concerned that it was, how could they decide three days later to blame it on a spontaneous demonstration and continue that blame for two more weeks?
