re: #23 Buck

Well we definitely have a different opinion. I think it is you that has a narrow view, and seem to be too accepting of excuses from the administration.

However it is you AND a majority of the mainstream press, so you have lots of company.

You are entitled to your own opinion, not to your own facts.

Fact 1: There was never an apology nor sympathy to the rioters.

Fact 2: The Cairo Embassy acted on accord to what they believed was best to defuse a dangerous situation.

Fact 3: The Cairo Embassy, in order to try to defuse the situation as quickly as possible, broke protocol and didn’t get their communication vetted.

Fact 4: All of Cairo Embassy’s actions occurred before the protests turned violent.

Now, to answer your absurdities:
re: #20 Buck

You can try and distance the President from what the Administrations Embassy set out, but it will not work. I mean the Obama Administration is trying to make what Bain did years after Romney left as Romney’s responsibility.

You’re comparing the actions taken and overseen by their CEO that had, on the very least, weeks of cold consideration, to a situation that devolved into real violence in a matter of hours that resulted in 4 deaths? You really think both situations are comparable?

Trying to change that to saying no one was apologizing is fine, but that is not what I was saying.

You clearly stated that they were sympathizing with the attackers on #4. It can’t be, because they fucking posted this ours before the attack.

Why put that out at all? It was a YouTube video that at that time had less than 5,000 hits. It clearly was not put out by the Whitehouse. It was a You Tube video. For goodness sake, there are thousands of videos that offend Jews, Muslims, Christians and atheists. No press release about that. Why was this one special.

They put that out because they were warned that people were gathering and heading towards the embassy.

I don’t know. Maybe because the assessment of their situation was that their lives were in danger?

Instead of talking about how the Egyptian government has a responsibility to protect the embassy, they released a statement that sounds like sympathy with the attackers (or the people who were gathering and later attacked if you prefer).

Go fuck yourself. By God, if someone invents a time machine, I’ll put you inside the Libyan Embassy on that day, just to see how you would react.

Those are the facts. You can keep repeating the fact check that has no bearing on what I am talking about, but it will not change anything.

You’re dovetailing the facts to fit your twisted narrative.

It is chilling to read here that the official opposition of the President cannot criticize the administration without being attacked for it.

One thing is to criticize the President on his actions. Another completely different is to willfully misrepresenting, twisting, dovetailing, and inventing facts to fit an invented narrative, when there are 4 Americans dead, and details are as sketchy as they were on the day of the attack.

A serious misunderstanding about what makes a strong democracy.

The first misunderstanding is that, for a democracy to remain strong, it has to be based on reality. Which the current President opposition willfully ignores.
