Not wholly true. The redaction was not immediate as I initially said (and I correct myself), but Romney released the statement to the public at 10:25PM ET. The White House disavowed the statement at 10:10PM ET in a statement to Politico, 15 minutes before Mitt Romney decided to make his stupid statement ahead of schedule (he was previously supposed to wait till midnight to make a statement).
Ambassador Stevens killed at site with no Marines We gave our ambassador no military protection in effing Libya!
The Washington Post embarrasses Romney. His statement is a "discredit" to his campaign Mr. Romney’s rhetoric on embassy attacks is a discredit to his campaign At a news conference, Mr. Romney claimed that the administration had delivered “an apology for America’s values.” In fact, it had done no such thing: religious tolerance, as much as freedom of speech, is a core American value… As for Mr. Romney, he would do well to consider the example of Republican former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who issued a statement Wednesday lamenting “the tragic loss of life at our consulate,” praising Mr. Stevens as “a wonderful officer and a terrific diplomat” and offering “thoughts and prayers” to “all the loved ones of the fallen.” That was the appropriate response.
I think what Hilary said sums it up best. Every time Romney opens his mouth with regard to foreign policy, I get the distinct feeling that America is on a path toward another unnecessary war. Nice to see they're are some cool heads in our current administration that understand a little thing called perspective, and can acknowledge both sides of an issue while at the same time condemning it.
Top Republicans in Congress are also refusing to echo their presidential candidate’s in press releases. GOP leaves Mitt hanging Don’t look to Republican leaders to defend Mitt Romney’s attack on President Obama over protests in the Middle East, even as the candidate repeated his attack this morning.
"Under federal law, physicians are not specifically prohibited from self-prescribing or prescribing for friends and family". Even though I can, I have never abused that privilege. Good luck reporting esteban to the AMA. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!
Why should the statement be disavowed? If an ambassador to the US condemned hateful, anti-American movies made in his country because he didn't want to strain relations with his host country, would you take issue with that because its somehow anti-free speech?
<marquee>CORRECTION: 16 HOURS PASSED FROM THE TIME THE CAIRO EMBASSY APOLOGIZED FOR FREE SPEECH AND OBAMA DISAVOWING IT<marquee>
The embassy did not "apologize" for anything. It condemned the film, and the statement was made as a desperate attempt to save the lives of precious Americans working there who were in danger.
Oh my, did you just call me ghetto because of my race? That is offensive and I would like an apology. Also you did not address a thing I said, wonder why, hmmm.... My parents are plenty proud, I will soon be a doctor, you are a 50+ year old man pretending to be one on the internet, but I'm a loser? esteban, at your age you should be striving to be an example. You are far too concerned with trannies and your mothers sexy corpse. No matter how many guys out there want to shag her, you should still be the bigger man. Just try not to envision them giving her bones the bone, knowwhatimsayin?
Is the United States more respected in the Muslim world with President Obama in the White House? No. Quite the opposite, in fact. According to a Pew survey published just about exactly 2 months ago: http://www.pewglobal.org/2012/06/13/global-opinion-of-obama-slips-international-policies-faulted/ Confidence in Obama: 2009: 33% 2012: 24% Favorable toward U.S.: 2009: 25% 2012: 15% Approve of Obama's international policies: 2009: 34% 2012: 15%
The fact that you are not banned tells me volumes about the mods on this board. For a soon to be doctor(are you sure you're not confused Voodoo doctor with a real MD?) like you claim, you sound more uneducated than some of your gang banger homies that I have treated. As far as your insults with my deceased mother, we can meet in person to settle this. We can meet at the Med Center since you are here in H-Town. Perhaps you can say that to my face? If your parents read what you have posted here and are proud of you, not only you are a loser but so are your parents. Pathetic ghetto turd!
what question are you even referring to? You think I can answer all the questions people throw at me? Especially from posters with <200 total posts ever? *snort*
