“Hell, they practically got an apology yesterday.”
They DID get an apology, the fact that they took down their tweet and DC apologized for the apology means nothing.
And, frankly, it disturbs me that an embassy would say anything to anyone via any method that was not OK’d by the administration. Behavior like that is a recipe for disaster. OMG, esp. in a place like Egypt.
These people are, at best, incompetent boobs.
I read a post from someone who knows and worked with the Ambassaor to Egypt, and the poster said that the Ambassador would never have written and issued such a thing and, furthermore, that even if she did want to say something like that, she would never have done it without being told or permitted to do so by the WH or the Secy of State. The ambassador us a career diplomat who has been in a number of important postings.
I bet the statement came from State.
