Clinton’s critics
apparently did not realize that this claim of real time contact contradicts
their accusation that Clinton and Obama were “unaccounted for” during and after

attack, UN Ambassador Susan Rice has been rightly criticized for blaming it on
an anti-Islamic video that caused protests in Egypt but not Benghazi. From the very beginning, however, Clinton was
sure it was a terrorist attack. <br clear="all">
On the day after the attack,
September 12, 2012, she called the Egyptian prime minister stating that “we
know it had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack — not a
protest.” On September 21,2012, Clinton declared: “What happened in Benghazi
was a terrorist attack, and we will not rest until we have tracked down and
brought to justice the terrorists who murdered four Americans.”<br clear="all">
Critics have charged that at a
ceremony honoring the Benghazi victims, Clinton told their family members that
the video caused the attack. But Jan Stevens, father of Ambassador Chris
Stevens, Cheryl Bennet, Tyrone Wood’s mother, and Barbara Doherty, Glen
Doherty’s mother, each said that Clinton did not mention the video in
conversations with them. Only Charles
Wood, Tyrone Wood’s father, recalled that Clinton referred to the video.<br clear="all">
Allegations
that Clinton ordered the “scrubbing” of Benghazi documents, that she blocked a
