The Obama administration is trying to tamp down public anger in Pakistan over the anti-Islam film produced in the U.S.

The American Embassy in Islamabad is spending $70,000 to run an ad on Pakistani television featuring President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton denouncing the video.

The State Department says the embassy compiled clips of Obama and Clinton rejecting the contents...

Of course, the big problem isn't the money, but the grovelling and capitulation.

Should we wait for denunciation of anti-Christian bogtry?

That is a real crock.... If that haden’t happened it would have been something else, like 9/11. They hate Americans and any excuse will do.

Un fN real....yet 70k for this White House is NOTHING! You are correct the real problem here is GIVING IN. Kissing Sharia laws rear end.

I thought Rush made a good point today. The attack took place first. Then came the apology about the film from the embassy.

Nobody over there knew about the film over there until the embassy “announced” it. Now theObama administration is spreading word of the film widely with a “promotional” piece.

For crying out loud, I had heard nothing of the film before the embassy attack, I doubt very many Amercans had either, and I doubt seriously if very many knew about it in the Muslim world either until that became the administration’s “excuse” for the attack. On top of that, Obama keeps spiking the ball on bin Laden’s death. Zer0 is very likely fanning the flames of violence in the Muslim world.
