President Obama vowed to punish those responsible for the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. "We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done," he said. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney also condemned the attack on the consulate in Libya and repeated his criticism of the Obama administration's response to the earlier attack on the U.S. Embassy in Egypt, calling an embassy statement "akin to an apology" that was "disgraceful."

Remember, Romney’s statements were about a different incident.
I haven’t heard the whole statement from Obama. I have heard Obama apologize for the U. S. several times. I’ve seen him bow before dictators and punish our allies for standing up for themselves.
You don’t promise revenge. You get revenge.
Al Qaeda gets it Mr President. (emphasis mine)
The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens was planned by attackers who used the protest outside the consulate as a diversion, U.S. sources say. The sources could not say whether the attackers instigated the protest or merely took advantage of it, and they say they don't believe Stevens was specifically targeted. Stevens and three other Americans suffocated trying to escape a fire after a grenade was thrown into the building, a senior U.S. official said. London terror analysts speculated that Stevens was the victim of a targeted al Qaeda revenge attack. The assault "came to avenge the death of Abu Yaya al-Libi, al Qaeda's second in command killed a few months ago," the analysts said.
