No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. Joel Send a noteboard - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM
The folks in the Cairo embassy evidently issued an apology for the film depicting Mohammed, but they did so BEFORE the attack in an (unsurprisingly unsuccessful) attempt to prevent it. Obama has disavowed said apology. http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/09/12/obama_administration_disavows_cairo_apology.html

Before calling the Obama administration stupid because of an apology it did not make, recall last January, when his hesitation to support Mubaraks removal, and Kucinichs empty reassurances to Qadaffi, prompted you to ask why the Left supports dictators. As I said then, it was less about loving dictators than fearing something like this (or worse.)

Yes, the attacks on the embassies are deplorable and the murder of our Libyan ambassador reprehensible and tragic, and the choice of date was surely no coincidence. Trying to score cheap political points off it is not exactly the most noble act either though, particularly when the desperate haste to do so causes one to state gross inaccuracies. Feel free to do so, however, if your priorities are that badly misplaced, if only to make that abundantly clear, as it seems one person has already done: http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/09/12/foreign_policy_hands_voice_disbelief_at_romney_statement.html

LoL. Be well, RAFOlk.
You pretty much despise the Left no matter it does, yes?

Question: did the Egyptian government apologize for letting a mob attack our embassy on 9/11/12? - 12/09/2012 03:37:00 PM 1135 Views
I haven't seen it, but I honestly wasn't looking for that. - 12/09/2012 04:00:39 PM 734 Views
The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid. - 12/09/2012 04:21:04 PM 689 Views
Don't get me started. I'm not in the mood, and I might rip your face off. - 12/09/2012 04:30:57 PM 594 Views
Try it. - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 637 Views
... No, thanks. *NM* - 12/09/2012 05:39:30 PM 287 Views
Aw...I was hoping to see what "ripping off" my face would look like. *NM* - 12/09/2012 05:56:41 PM 303 Views
Unfortunately, I'm much calmer today. - 13/09/2012 03:47:20 PM 579 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 588 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 719 Views

what is stupid is deliberately distorting the actual statements in order to be outraged at obama - 13/09/2012 04:01:04 PM 708 Views
I'm not outraged personally. - 13/09/2012 05:14:59 PM 586 Views
Besides, the whole point of this post was to question Egypt's position, not Romney OR Obama's *NM* - 13/09/2012 05:16:02 PM 318 Views
Uh huh... - 15/09/2012 02:33:39 AM 617 Views
Don't know, don't care. - 12/09/2012 04:24:18 PM 608 Views
No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM 819 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 708 Views

Dunno about apologies - 12/09/2012 08:38:04 PM 631 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 824 Views
Egypt. - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 738 Views
Ah, thanks. - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 601 Views
does anyone know where Romney actually stands on this? - 12/09/2012 11:26:47 PM 644 Views
NO ONE is as confused as Romney. - 12/09/2012 11:48:23 PM 695 Views
I don't know if he's confused... - 13/09/2012 12:09:16 PM 699 Views

Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM 684 Views
Oh great now it's our embassy in Sudan that is on fire - 14/09/2012 02:12:21 PM 683 Views
I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 716 Views
I love how the media are tying all this to a movie that no one watched. - 14/09/2012 03:22:38 PM 596 Views
What's this about then? - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 583 Views
Wish I knew - 15/09/2012 03:43:32 AM 625 Views
