Crowley was right. Obama did mention terrorism in the speech and Romney's claim that it took 14 days before the president used the word was false. You can argue that the use of the phrase "acts of terror" was too broad or what-have-you, but Romney's claim that the word "terror" wasn't used for two weeks isn't true.
No, Crowley was wrong. "Acts of Terror" was used broadly, as in acts of violence, and not specifically to a planned terrorist attack. He didn't mention the Benghazi attack being a planned terrorist attack in his U.N. speech, WHY NOT?

The speech was all about a spontaneous prostest that went out of control, and not about a planned terrorist attack. Crowley gave Obama preferential treatment.
