Mitt Romney has interpreted a statement from a US Embassy as an apology from he administration. Sounds like Mitt Romney needs a refresher on foregin policy and the Middle East.
Rob, the CIA has actually gone on record and admitted that a number of the films shown to the world about Al Qaeda and Bin Laden were fakes. And a number of them have also been deemed fake by Islamic experts with the help of video experts. The most noted fake was the one shown in late 2001 purportedly showing Bin Laden sitting in a room with other men laughing about the "success" of the 9/11 attacks. Only there were a few problems with the film, like he was writing something with his right hand (he's left handed). He was wearing a piece of gold jewelry which is forbidden in Islam, and this "Bin Laden" had a totally black beard and was shorter and way heavier than the Bin Laden photo shown to the world several months earlier who looked ashen with a very grey beard. Closeup facial analysis showed the nose was completely shaped differently, the man in that film was not Bin Laden. Yet even our own media continues to show that film as if it is some sort of authentic piece of history. It is made up garbage with one sole purpose, to inflame and incite more war. You can see an analysis of this film on youtube. They continue to think the American people are complete idiots. How many more decades are people going to buy into this stuff?

I agree Linda S. Romney will probably have a mini mike in his ear telling him what to say. Barack should mop up the floor with Mitt, and Fox will tout Mitt as the clear winner regardless. Who made this movie anyway? Rove and co.? Isn't it funny there is a Middle East flare-up right before our Presidential elections; like clockwork. I wouldn't put anything past the dirty tricksters.

Bring on the debates. I cannot wait. If they are not convinced by now that this GOP ticket is a joke, they will surely be by then. The two have dodged every serious question on every serious issue to date.

How quickly we forget about romantic walks in the sand, holding hands, and kissing Saudi Prince cheeks. Yes, that was President Bush. You remember him don't you? He was the guy dodging Muslim shoes toward the end of his term. We should really be sick of the trite Obama apology crap from the righties. If Romney was his own man, we wouldn't be seeing him look more and more like an empty headed Fox News reporter instead of a legitimate candidate for such high office.

Ok people are we going to get taken again like we did in the Bush years? They cannot even seem to find the so called "maker" of this film, he doesn't even seem to exist. All the actors said they were duped into making this film, then all their dialogue was dubbed over with anti muslim hatespeak. I smell a rat here. And it smells a whole lot like weapons of mass deception.
This is what makes Romney even more pathetic. Apparently he doesn't recognize a black op when he sees it, or maybe he does and is stupid enough to think Americans are going to buy this bullcrap again and allow our tax money to be spent on another 10 years of war in the Middle East.

Rob. He's not dumber, he just opens his mouth more. It's a tie.
Romney/Ryan will put this country in a war with Isreal, Syria, Lybia and Iran within the first year, while Ryans budget bankrupts us. Two idiots calling the shots are 10 times worse than one. I hate to say it, but they would make it so we DID MISS BUSH.

I didn't think it was possible, but I'm beginning to think Romney is dumber than Bush. As far as defending this fool, the righty news is a one way machine, we all know that. They hear what they want to hear and report what they want you to hear, with a convenient amnesia factor for all the failures of their time in office.

The right's talking heads are out in force saying what mittens did was proper to show how the weak policies lead to this attack. I noticed they never said about bush bowing and kissing the fannies of the Suadis. The oil needed to flow and the bush bank accounts need to have the money flow.
I want a president that is like teddy roosevelt speak softly and carry a big stick. Our current protects this country and all it citizens this way. We are a powerful country with a massive mititary that can destroy most countries, but this president uses the soft approch which has given us the respect we lost under the gop and if mittens get in we would be the war mongers again

Mitt Romney's reactive behavior when there is an international incidence shows us that he is not the right person for the position of President. These times are challenging and we cannot afford to have a President with an explosive personality or one who does not seek out detailed information about the situation before commenting about it or taking action. It is interesting that even some on the right see this flaw in Mitt as well. The GOP likes to paint President Obama as an angry man but in all reality his cool and calm outside appearance and well developed analytical skills are exactly what we need at this time.
