except "you didn't build that" is in reference to the US infrastructure not actual business moondog Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 09:31:29 PM
but of course it's easier to misconstrue a statement someone doesn't like and turn it into something else, much like romney is doing with this phantom "apology" stupidity.

also please point me to a single presidential election decided by a national popular vote. the electoral college decides the presidency and there are 51 states' worth of electors who cast their votes. romney needs a LOT of help to have a chance of winning in november and it's not clear he will get it. trying to pretend he still has a good chance of winning is like a pittsburg pirates fan trying to say they're going to win the world series this year. sure, mathematically they may have an outside chance of it but they need to rely on everything lining up perfectly and there just isn't enough room for error for it to be more than a remote possibility.

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 1230 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 764 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 680 Views
Try it. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 718 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 661 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 665 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 801 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 682 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 843 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 677 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 899 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 792 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 829 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 683 Views
WE have not apologized to anyone; the embassy staff (unsuccessfuly) tried to prevent a riot. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:35:16 PM 792 Views
Yeah, we Egyptians should be thankful for Obama. Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 09:59:28 PM 750 Views
Never said that, but bashing him for both supporting and NOT supporting Mubarak is asinine. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:43:08 PM 797 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

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 790 Views

I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 799 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
