ORIGINAL: erieangel quote:
The only critical speech I have seen of Romneys in response to the attack on our embassies was directed at the Obama administration for their apologies to the attackers. What apology would that be? Tuesday, about 6 a.m., before the attack in Benghazi (all times Eastern) the embassy released this statement, apparently referring to a provocative anti-Islam video, in an effort to cool tensions in the area. The statement came before protests on the American embassy in Cairo and the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi. "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others." That might sound apologetic for the film, and thus served to take responsibility for it, provoking the attack.
