re: #19 andres

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.

You simply have a different definition of “related to foreign policy”. You like to be 100% literal when it benefits your argument, and allow for figurative language when you want to make excuses for the administration.

Press releases from American Embassies are directly related to foreign policy. If there is no policy in place to make sure that a Press Release from an American Embassy, and therefore by extension the State Department is official, then that is a more serious issue. That would definitely land on the Presidents desk. Diplomacy by people who have no official responsibility? That doesn’t scare you?

The only reason we know about it is the political opposition doing their job. That is how democracy works.
