Jon Stewart is really damned funny, but you do realize that his entire schtick is basically predicated upon strawmanning the piss out of what conservatives/republicans/fox say and then taking most of that out of context, right?

American foreign policy is our business.

Discussing internal policy is just for fun, though.

The guy who passed up multiple opportunities to kill bin Laden would have prevented 9/11? Not only is this a hilariously stupid statement, but do you realize what today is?

Clinton was hunting Obama before any other. He had all the plans to go after him but intelligence wasn't willing to go on record that bin laden was a threat. Clinton did everything he legally could to get to the guy.

How big of an issue will the killing of the ambassador become?

Just saw on CNN that Gingrich is comparing it to the hostage situation that Carter/Reagan dealt with.

Not much, I suspect. It's a diplomatic incident, to be sure, and presumably the new Libyan government isn't stupid enough to risk relations with the US like that. The Republicans might try to hype it up to show some weakness of Obama's or what not, but I feel like any moves into foreign policy are losers. Funny how for the first time in decades it seems like the Democrats have the stronger position on this.

The hostage situation was different because it went on and on and on, making Carter look weak. There wasn't even any buildup to this - just a diplomat got whacked, and now there'll be fallout, and it'll probably be done within a week unless it somehow blows up into something bigger.

And really Romney? Apologizing for our values? What value? The value to insult another culture? Pathetic.

It really seems like Romney just politicized this issue with his speech, I wish he would have given a speech similar to what Sec. Clinton gave before him.

Romney was absolutely correct to give the comments that he gave regarding the statement released by the State Department yesterday. That statement was disgraceful. Anyway, game on with the "world apology tour" stuff again.

Much better than invading a country, that's for sure. Conservatives can't go one day without dick waving.

Link plz.

I obviously have an opinion but would like to see this actual statement first before I chime in with my two cents.

Edit: And your going on about this 'Apology' BS again? Come on. Since when is acknowledging that two nations have had their share of conflicts and differences an apology? Jesus. Since when did American exceptionalism include the God-given right to revise world history?

It's such a crap argument, dude.

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 statement is an embarrassment,” Krauthammer said. “That’s a hostage statement. That’s a mob of al-Qaida sympathizers in Egypt forcing the United States into making a statement essentially of apology — on 9/11 of all days — for something of which we are not responsible. I would issue a statement saying to the mob, ‘Go to hell.’ The way America works, the way a democracy works, is that everybody has a right to express themselves. We don’t police our speech and you ought to apologize to the United States for storming an embassy and the violation of the ultimate sacred principle of democracy, which is protecting embassies and missions abroad. For the U.S. to what, essentially, issue a veiled apology, I think is disgraceful.”
