More Confirmation Egypt, Libya was a Terrorist Attack

Video of Egyptian Protesters
Multiple independent sources now confirming that the attack was indeed a terror attack.  The plot thickens, since we have reports that an al-Qa'ida operative, a former Guantanamo detainee, was involved.  The official line is that this attack was brought about by some video posted two months ago, but that is baloney.  An offensive needs to be mounted immediately against these attackers, and there should have been a lot more condemnation from Washington.  Just the usual vacuum of leadership that we have all come to expect.
No one should still be under the delusion that this was an angry mob motivated by some perceived disrespectful portrayal of their prophet. Too many governments are cowering; we must set the example by a show of strength.  If there is no projection of power, that will embolden  al-Qa'ida to continue launching attacks if not against us, against our allies.  While the White House continues to lack testicular fortitude, Romney is providing only criticism of the President without a plan of his own.
The President should have launched an offensive in response to this attack.  I find it hard to believe that there was no awareness that this was anything less than a purposeful, planned attack against the US.  Of course, the sources I cite are claiming this is not the case.  Choosing 9/11 as the date of the attack seems to indicate forethought, otherwise it's a bit of a convenient date to throw an ad-hoc terrorist attack.
