NO ONE is as confused as Romney. Joel Send a noteboard - 12/09/2012 11:48:23 PM
Reading the comments from him and his campaign, it sounds like he has attacked Obama for acting in the same way he then claims he would have... then supported the embassy in condemning the movie before standing up for freedom of speech. Is there an available position on this Romney hasn't taken yet? I guess there is just flat out support for those who attacked the embassies but that might be it.

also my spellchecker doesn't recognise "movie", I think it is almost as confused as Romney.

My favorite part of the link Bored provided was when the reporter questioning Romney followed up an answer about "mixed messages" by asking if Romney is not sending mixed messages of his own. Like I say, if Obama does not race to remove Mubarak, he supports dictators; if he endorses people who DO remove Mubarak, he hates America. He cannot win with the GOP; too bad he did not realize it back in 2009 when he had Congressional majorities that made the GOP irrelevant.

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 1138 Views
I haven't seen it, but I honestly wasn't looking for that. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:00:39 PM 734 Views
The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid. Tom - 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. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:30:57 PM 594 Views
Try it. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 639 Views
... No, thanks. *NM* nossy - 12/09/2012 05:39:30 PM 288 Views
Aw...I was hoping to see what "ripping off" my face would look like. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2012 05:56:41 PM 304 Views
Unfortunately, I'm much calmer today. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:47:20 PM 581 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 589 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 721 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 588 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 750 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 312 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 313 Views
What in particular do you think was an apology? *NM* Ghavrel - 13/09/2012 03:15:54 PM 275 Views
Even I can see why it could be viewed that way. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:30:29 PM 641 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 708 Views
I'm not outraged personally. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:14:59 PM 589 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 318 Views
Uh huh... Joel - 15/09/2012 02:33:39 AM 617 Views
Don't know, don't care. Palatine - 12/09/2012 04:24:18 PM 608 Views
No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. Joel - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM 821 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 709 Views

Dunno about apologies snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:38:04 PM 634 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 825 Views
Egypt. snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 739 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 602 Views
WE have not apologized to anyone; the embassy staff (unsuccessfuly) tried to prevent a riot. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:35:16 PM 704 Views
Yeah, we Egyptians should be thankful for Obama. Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 09:59:28 PM 665 Views
Never said that, but bashing him for both supporting and NOT supporting Mubarak is asinine. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:43:08 PM 712 Views
No, but "our country is stronger, safer and more respected in the world" *NM* Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 10:04:03 PM 296 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 708 Views
But Romney is very experienced and Obama wasn't random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:14:08 AM 780 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 262 Views
Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? Larry - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM 685 Views

I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 717 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 596 Views
What's this about then? nossy - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 584 Views
