Grrrrrrrr.

So, the Obama Administration's response to the protests and murders of Americans in the Middle East is to, 1) apologize and condemn the alleged film*, 2) send Marines to reenforce embassies in the Middle East, and, 3) ask Youtube to review the alledged film that is the reason for the protests in the Middle East to see if it meets their "stamdards". The unstated second half to this being "pull it".

EXCEPT, the alleged film isn't the reason the radical Islamists are rasing hell, commiting murder in the Middle East and attacking our embassies. It's their excuse. If it wasn't the alleged film it would be something else. They hate us. Any excuse will do. When the they do something like apologize for the alleged film or pressure YouTube to pull it you lend credence to the mullah's claim its the reason for the violence and its all our fault anyway. You spit on our constitution. You betray you office and oath. You give aid and comfort to the enemy, as if that's anything new.

Oh, I should give credit where credit is due. Sending the Marines to the embassies was a good thing. Send more.

*I guess what I saw was the trailer. Based on that it really does look like a piece of crap and waste of video. It looked worse than a Uwe Boll film. The protests are the only reason anyone is even giving it any attention and the best way to respond to it is to let it fade into  the obscurity it deserves.

Why weren't the Marines there in the first place?
Were the cookie-pushers afraid the presence of Marines would "offend" the locals?
My understanding of Embassy Marine standing orders was "Anything coming over the walls gets shot. Time and ammo permitting, it gets shot twice." WTH happened to that?

All good questions. I wonder who sets the rules of engagement? The Ambassador? The State Department?
