Criticism mounts over thin US presence at Paris rally

Criticism mounted Monday over President Obama's muted response to Sunday's massive rally in Paris against Islamic terror, a historic show of unity that drew more than a million people, including more than 40 world leaders -- but none higher representing the U.S. than its ambassador to France -- as the White House continued to avoid calling last week's attacks an act of Islamic terror.

Secretary of State John Kerry dismissed the criticism as "quibbling," and announced a trip to the French capital later this week.

While the administration dispatched Attorney General Eric Holder and a top homeland security official to Paris for meetings over the weekend, the only U.S. official of note to attend Sunday's rally was Ambassador Jane Hartley.

A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Paris told Fox News that Holder did not attend Sunday's march because he was "not available at the time." More
