Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? Larry Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM
I realize that the Cairo mob did not kill anyone, unlike the mob in Benghazi, but it is clear the Libyan government has issued an apology and promised to hunt down the people responsible. Obviously, we will see if their actions match their words, but I want to know if Egypt has apologized for letting a mob attack our Embassy on the anniversary of 9/11, or promised to make sure it doesn't happen again. I haven't seen ANY response in the news whatsoever.


I forget the exact source I was reading this morning, but it seems that there is a major rift in the Salafists, if that article is any indication. The more I've read about the events, the murkier it all has become to me.

Question: did the Egyptian government apologize for letting a mob attack our embassy on 9/11/12? - 12/09/2012 03:37:00 PM 1104 Views
I haven't seen it, but I honestly wasn't looking for that. - 12/09/2012 04:00:39 PM 705 Views
The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid. - 12/09/2012 04:21:04 PM 658 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 563 Views
Try it. - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 610 Views
... No, thanks. *NM* - 12/09/2012 05:39:30 PM 277 Views
Aw...I was hoping to see what "ripping off" my face would look like. *NM* - 12/09/2012 05:56:41 PM 293 Views
Unfortunately, I'm much calmer today. - 13/09/2012 03:47:20 PM 545 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 555 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 691 Views

what is stupid is deliberately distorting the actual statements in order to be outraged at obama - 13/09/2012 04:01:04 PM 674 Views
I'm not outraged personally. - 13/09/2012 05:14:59 PM 555 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 305 Views
Uh huh... - 15/09/2012 02:33:39 AM 588 Views
Don't know, don't care. - 12/09/2012 04:24:18 PM 580 Views
No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM 789 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 683 Views

Dunno about apologies - 12/09/2012 08:38:04 PM 604 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 796 Views
Egypt. - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 709 Views
Ah, thanks. - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 576 Views
does anyone know where Romney actually stands on this? - 12/09/2012 11:26:47 PM 613 Views
NO ONE is as confused as Romney. - 12/09/2012 11:48:23 PM 665 Views
I don't know if he's confused... - 13/09/2012 12:09:16 PM 669 Views

Oh great now it's our embassy in Sudan that is on fire - 14/09/2012 02:12:21 PM 650 Views
I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 685 Views
I love how the media are tying all this to a movie that no one watched. - 14/09/2012 03:22:38 PM 562 Views
What's this about then? - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 552 Views
