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 1039 Views
I haven't seen it, but I honestly wasn't looking for that. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:00:39 PM 644 Views
The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid. Tom - 12/09/2012 04:21:04 PM 595 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 500 Views
Try it. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 544 Views
... No, thanks. *NM* nossy - 12/09/2012 05:39:30 PM 251 Views
Aw...I was hoping to see what "ripping off" my face would look like. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2012 05:56:41 PM 268 Views
Unfortunately, I'm much calmer today. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:47:20 PM 473 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 487 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 630 Views
Timeline and statements Bored - 12/09/2012 09:20:39 PM 698 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 494 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 650 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 230 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 273 Views
What in particular do you think was an apology? *NM* Ghavrel - 13/09/2012 03:15:54 PM 240 Views
Even I can see why it could be viewed that way. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:30:29 PM 544 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 604 Views
I'm not outraged personally. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:14:59 PM 492 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 275 Views
Uh huh... Joel - 15/09/2012 02:33:39 AM 513 Views
Don't know, don't care. Palatine - 12/09/2012 04:24:18 PM 522 Views
No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. Joel - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM 722 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 620 Views

Dunno about apologies snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:38:04 PM 531 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 720 Views
Egypt. snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 643 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 515 Views
WE have not apologized to anyone; the embassy staff (unsuccessfuly) tried to prevent a riot. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:35:16 PM 609 Views
Yeah, we Egyptians should be thankful for Obama. Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 09:59:28 PM 589 Views

does anyone know where Romney actually stands on this? snoopcester - 12/09/2012 11:26:47 PM 549 Views
NO ONE is as confused as Romney. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:48:23 PM 605 Views
I don't know if he's confused... DomA - 13/09/2012 12:09:16 PM 602 Views
Romney never "had" the foreign press to lose... Tom - 13/09/2012 02:08:59 PM 555 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 236 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 622 Views
But Romney is very experienced and Obama wasn't random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:14:08 AM 671 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 624 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 604 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 621 Views

"Either you're with us or you're with the terrorists." Joel - 17/09/2012 05:28:19 PM 620 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 223 Views
Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? Larry - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM 584 Views
Oh great now it's our embassy in Sudan that is on fire ironclad - 14/09/2012 02:12:21 PM 573 Views
I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 626 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 502 Views
What's this about then? nossy - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 490 Views
