President Obama says the U.S. is working to secure diplomats and bring those who killed U.S. ambassador John Christopher Stevens and three Americans to justice.
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney displyed his foreign policy ineptness as he choose to criticize President Obama after violence broke out at American embassies in Cairo and Benghazi resulting in the death of four American diplomats, Mitt Romney criticized the response by the Obama administration.
Desparate for traction in a campaign that is losing steam, Mitt Romney reiterated on Wednesday his claim that President Obama’s “first response” to an attack on a diplomatic compound in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens was to “sympathize” with Stevens’s attackers.
The Obama campaign criticized Romney for his response.
"We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack," said Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also issued a statement saying, "Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."
