White House reaction to the Benghazi attack under question?

Social and political criticisms

From Fox News

The death of Ambassador Christopher Steven is the first murder in 30 years.  And the reaction of US White House has been termed as amateurish.  The continued election campaign of the US President is being criticized despite the tragedy

There had been reports (Britains Independent) that the attack was coordinated and that the State Department may have prior knowledge of the same;  or may have dismissed the same.

Sen John McCain termed it as a terrorist attack. Some congressmen said that a harsher action is needed like closing the embassies in:   Egypt. Libya and Yemen;   there was alleged intrusion/violation of US sovereignty.

The camp of Gov Romney was criticized for making a statement  that the US embassy sympathized with the Muslim protesters.  It is kind of murky and each side trying to capitalize on this tragic situation.

Why are the Americans so divided on its foreign policy?

Where is the tough Uncle Sam of yore?

Where is the Big American brother wielding the big stick?

Are they surrendering to the Muslims?
