re: #10 Buck

You and your link are concentrated on the word apology. I am talking about being sympathetic.

The words I used was sympathy with the attackers.

Now who seems to think facts are shit? You attacked a sentence you wanted me to have said, not the one I actually said.

Let’s see who’s attacking a sentence the other wanted to say that didn’t actually said?

re: #4 Buck

You said:

We might disagree, but a lot of people think the press release that started with “The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims…” sure sounds like sympathy with the attackers.

From Reality:

Contrary to multiple reports from Fox News, the U.S. embassy in Cairo — not the State Department in Washington — put out the statement on Sept. 11 several hours before a mob of protesters breached the wall of the embassy, took down an American flag and replaced it with a black flag.

At 6:11 a.m. Eastern time (around noon Cairo time), the U.S. embassy in Cairo tweeted: “U.S. Embassy condemns religious incitement,” with a link to its full statement. (The tweet was later deleted and the link to the statement was taken down.) A senior administration official who spoke to reporters on a conference call confirmed that the statement was released at about noon Cairo time, which would have been at about 6 a.m. EST. That places the release of the statement several hours before the protest. [ed. emphasis mine]

So, there is no sympathy for the attackers The statement was written and sent several hours before the attacks.

Who is misrepresenting what the other is saying? You are, Buck.

You said:

The press release was supposed to be here [Link: egypt.usembassy.gov…]

but it has been deleted. What is the expression? Flushed down the memory hole?

From Reality:

At 11:04 p.m. ABC’s Jake Tapper reported, “An administration official tells ABC News that ‘no one in Washington approved that statement before it was released and it doesn’t reflect the views of the U.S. government.’ ” [ed. emphasis mine]

So the Embassy in Cairo attempts to diffuse a situation, and posts an unapproved statement on their official website. Under any circumstances in the real world, the normal procedure would be to take down the unapproved statement from the official website, regardless of who the official website is. And this is wrong for you why?

Again, who is misrepresenting what the other is saying? You are, Buck.
