The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid.

The US government should not apologize for private movies. I don't care if they show Mohammed screwing goats, his underage wives and then drinking the blood of newborns while talking to Satan. The acts of private citizens (or non-citizens on US soil) are not the responsibility of the US government if they are not planning a crime, and exercising free speech is obviously not a crime, no matter how distasteful some may find it.
The timing of these supposedly spontaneous protests was almost certainly not a coincidence, and any apology, particularly one on 9/11 made in response to radical attacks on our embassies and consulates, is repulsive. Someone in the administration did it, and that was incredibly stupid.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Question: did the Egyptian government apologize for letting a mob attack our embassy on 9/11/12?

I see: NO ONE EVER apologized to militants; Romney just wants to revive the "apology tour" lie.

Only very specific people are getting the timeline wrong, because it suits them to do so.

We can all differ on what we think constitutes an "apology". In my opinion, it did happen. *NM*

WE have not apologized to anyone; the embassy staff (unsuccessfuly) tried to prevent a riot.
