Romney was right on. I had the 'privilege' of spending an hour with David Sanger long ago, whose byline on the original story, which had a juicy anonymous quote:
And as an adviser to the campaign who worked in the George W. Bush administration said on Wednesday, Mr. Romney’s accusation that Mr. Obama had invited the attacks because he had weakened America looked like “he had forgotten the first rule in a crisis: don’t start talking before you understand what’s happening.”
Sanger is rabidly pro-Arab and anti-American, up there with Chris Hedges, who at the time I met Sanger was still the NYT bureau chief in Cairo & writing absurd gibberish which got by the NYT 'editors' to make it onto the A1 section. Sanger was perhaps bumped from the byline for coming up with other anonymous quotes that didn't pass even the NYT's loosey-goosey smell test.
Secondly, the Baker article does admit that the American Embassy sent out a tweet on Twitter that it "stands by" its earlier quote even after the attack took place, then pulled it at obvious White House return to sanity.
What is so disturbing is that the media is trying desperately to turn Obama's blunder number 1000 in the Middle East into a Romney blunder and getting so much help in effecting that deflection from Obama from idiots like Peggy Noonan & other RINOs.
