Hillary Doubled Down on Egypt 'Apology'
Breitbart ^ | September 12, 2012 | Joel B. Pollak

For the second time in as many weeks, the State Department has contradicted President Barack Obama, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton re-affirmed the apologetic stance disavowed earlier this evening by the White House in reacting to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Cairo by a mob of radical Egyptian Al Qaeda sympathizers on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Clinton's statements on the day's events, released through the State Department's website and Twitter feed, condemn "in the strongest possible terms" an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya in Benghazi that left one American dead, but offer no condemnation of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Cairo.

Instead, Clinton reiterates an apology issued earlier today by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo--now deleted--which said: "We condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims."

"The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," Clinton said. "Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation," she added.

However, the White House has distanced itself from such apologies, according to Politico, saying that they were not "cleared by Washington."

Evidently, there is some discord in Washington.

Why would I not say. I was a huge Santorum supporter. To bad he isn’t our candidate. We could actually have a President we would be proud of if he were our next President. I would love Santorum/Bachmann, Bachmann/Santorum or Ryan/Santorum or Ryan Bachmann. Those really are the best of the best. We have chosen mediocre once again and may lose the election. The Republican Party is definitely the stupid party. We have picked really stupid candidates to go against Democratic Presidents in office.
