Never said that, but bashing him for both supporting and NOT supporting Mubarak is asinine. Joel Send a noteboard - 12/09/2012 11:43:08 PM
For he hath given us enough Change and Hope to assault the Embassy of The Greatest Nation on Earth. His beneficence is as boundless as his bosom.

If Romney (or anyone else) were president, would those protesters have stayed home? Blaming Obama for the attacks and/or accusing him of sympathizing is like blaming him for rain. It is just the mother of all dog whistles: Romney and Co. can revive false accusations Obama began his presidency with an international "apology tour," and tacitly exhort people like my uncle to call him a Muslim-terrorist-sleeper-cell aiding Americas enemies and faking his birth certificate, without Romney having to take responsibility for the racially tinged slanders.

Question: did the Egyptian government apologize for letting a mob attack our embassy on 9/11/12? Tom - 12/09/2012 03:37:00 PM 1229 Views
I haven't seen it, but I honestly wasn't looking for that. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:00:39 PM 808 Views
The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid. Tom - 12/09/2012 04:21:04 PM 763 Views
Don't get me started. I'm not in the mood, and I might rip your face off. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:30:57 PM 679 Views
Try it. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 717 Views
... No, thanks. *NM* nossy - 12/09/2012 05:39:30 PM 323 Views
Aw...I was hoping to see what "ripping off" my face would look like. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2012 05:56:41 PM 336 Views
Unfortunately, I'm much calmer today. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:47:20 PM 660 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 664 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 800 Views
Timeline and statements Bored - 12/09/2012 09:20:39 PM 877 Views
I see: NO ONE EVER apologized to militants; Romney just wants to revive the "apology tour" lie. Joel - 12/09/2012 10:48:59 PM 681 Views
Only very specific people are getting the timeline wrong, because it suits them to do so. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:37:43 PM 842 Views
The apology, did u hear it on Fox news, and was that news report later redacted? Bc it didn't happen *NM* Aeryn - 13/09/2012 12:42:44 PM 357 Views
We can all differ on what we think constitutes an "apology". In my opinion, it did happen. *NM* Tom - 13/09/2012 02:10:02 PM 344 Views
What in particular do you think was an apology? *NM* Ghavrel - 13/09/2012 03:15:54 PM 313 Views
Even I can see why it could be viewed that way. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:30:29 PM 731 Views
what is stupid is deliberately distorting the actual statements in order to be outraged at obama moondog - 13/09/2012 04:01:04 PM 791 Views
I'm not outraged personally. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:14:59 PM 676 Views
Besides, the whole point of this post was to question Egypt's position, not Romney OR Obama's *NM* Tom - 13/09/2012 05:16:02 PM 352 Views
Uh huh... Joel - 15/09/2012 02:33:39 AM 730 Views
Don't know, don't care. Palatine - 12/09/2012 04:24:18 PM 682 Views
No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. Joel - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM 898 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 792 Views

Dunno about apologies snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:38:04 PM 711 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 912 Views
Egypt. snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 828 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 682 Views
WE have not apologized to anyone; the embassy staff (unsuccessfuly) tried to prevent a riot. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:35:16 PM 791 Views
Yeah, we Egyptians should be thankful for Obama. Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 09:59:28 PM 750 Views

does anyone know where Romney actually stands on this? snoopcester - 12/09/2012 11:26:47 PM 726 Views
NO ONE is as confused as Romney. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:48:23 PM 771 Views
I don't know if he's confused... DomA - 13/09/2012 12:09:16 PM 791 Views
Romney never "had" the foreign press to lose... Tom - 13/09/2012 02:08:59 PM 757 Views
Sadly for Romney the American press is almost as biased against him as over there. *NM* random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:53:25 PM 312 Views

Yeah, but Romney isn't running against 2008 Obama. He's running against a 4-year president. Burr - 14/09/2012 02:35:22 AM 786 Views
But Romney is very experienced and Obama wasn't random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:14:08 AM 863 Views

The popular vote will win the election or Obama will be lamest lame duck in history random thoughts - 14/09/2012 06:25:21 PM 789 Views
except "you didn't build that" is in reference to the US infrastructure not actual business moondog - 14/09/2012 09:31:29 PM 799 Views
Well, at this point it is hard to say he is not at least factually challenged. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:40:13 PM 788 Views

"Either you're with us or you're with the terrorists." Joel - 17/09/2012 05:28:19 PM 816 Views
He appears to be buckling down on the lie that the embassy apologized to the protesters. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/09/2012 03:04:57 AM 305 Views
Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? Larry - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM 789 Views
Oh great now it's our embassy in Sudan that is on fire ironclad - 14/09/2012 02:12:21 PM 769 Views
I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 798 Views
I love how the media are tying all this to a movie that no one watched. Praziquantel - 14/09/2012 03:22:38 PM 686 Views
What's this about then? nossy - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 670 Views
