A Egyptian news affiliate somehow finds the film, decides it's newsworthy, and does a segment on the film, including showing some excerpts from the offending scenes to the whole of Egypt and much of neighboring Libya. The ever rational Egyptian Islamists go haywire, storm the US embassy, take down the American flag, and in its stead raise the flag of Al Qaeda.
The White House's first response--denounce the video, and as an aside denounce the mob. The White House is also careful to describe the flag not as Al Qaeda's flag, but as a "flag representing the Islamic faith." Clinton later denounces the violence, but uses some language that is laughable given our current stance toward Iran: "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others." I guess that just doesn't apply when you are talking about wiping an entire nation from the map because of its religion.
Then, overnight, some more zealots storm the embassy in Libya, killing the ambassador and three other Americans. News reports all state the ambassador was caught live and suffocated and/or strangled. Photos and videos show his body being paraded through the streets and roughly treated. First statement from SoS Clinton?--The ambassador was apparently accidentally killed by shrapnel, and the photos and videos show the Libyans trying to get the injured ambassador to the hospital. Anyone who has seen the photos and videos has got to be flabbergasted by that interpretation. That's once heck of a way to try and get someone to medical treatment, especially someone so obviously dead.
Given these events, the Executive's response, and the nightmare of yesterday's developments with Israel, one has to ask--W....T.....Fudge is going on?
