The following is a full transcript of my interview with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor, thank you for doing this.

MITT ROMNEY:  Thank you, George.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Boy, there has been quite a controversy in the last couple of days, since those killings in Libya, the chaos in the Middle East.  And we heard some of that at your event today. President Obama has stepped in as well.  He said your comments on Tuesday night displayed a tendency of yours to “shoot first and aim later.”  What’s your response?

MITT ROMNEY: Well, early on, with the developments in Egypt, the embassy there put out a statement which stayed up on their website for, I think, 14-15 hours.
