I don't think the expectation is for them to lie about it to cover the presidents failure in actually eliminating al qaeda as had been presented during the DNC conference

No, but it happened pretty quickly. It quickly became clear that there wasn't gray area to operate in, and the administration had to backtrack. While I find that distasteful, I don't find it outside the bounds of normal political activity. The administration should take a hit on it, which they did, but I don't know what the expectation is beyond that.
