The thing is that Obama’s “move forward” part hasn’t happened. Too many people in the Arab world hate us and the forces of Radical Islam are stronger than Obama thought. He tried a plan that did not work, and its within the bounds of normal political discourse for Republicans to attack him over that.

Let’s see what Romney actually said on national TV:

I also believe the administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt, instead of condemning their actions. It’s never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values.

No where in that statement, nor on his other statements related to the attacks on Libya’s and Egypt’s embassies, is Romney referring to Obama’s overall foreign policy. It’s referring to a specific action, on which the White House did the responsible thing, which is to wait for more information before taking a course of action. So I’ll call your statement BS.

I’ll also call you on moving the goalpost: you are deviating from the topic at hand because Buck’s (BS) talking points isn’t going anywhere anymore. By deviating from Romney’s deplorable statements to the course of action taken by the State Department and the White House, you are taking the eyes off the actual point: Romney’s statements aren’t based in any sort of actual reality, and he said them to appease the extremists on his party.
