Mitt Romney criticized the Obama administration for initially blaming the attacks in Benghazi on an offensive video rather than calling it an act of terrorism during his speech on foreign policy at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va., Monday.
“This latest assault cannot be blamed on a reprehensible video insulting Islam, despite the Administration’s attempts to convince us of that for so long,” Romney said. “No, as the Administration has finally conceded, these attacks were the deliberate work of terrorists who use violence to impose their dark ideology on others, especially women and girls; who are fighting to control much of the Middle East today; and who seek to wage perpetual war on the West.”
