2. "The attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions this weekbeginning in Egypt and Libya, and moving to Yemen and other Muslim countriescame under cover of riots against an obscure online video insulting Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. But the mob violence and assaults should be seen for what they really are: an effort by Islamists to garner support and mobilize their base by exacerbating anti-Western sentiments.
3. When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to calm Muslims Thursday by denouncing the video, she was unwittingly playing along with the ruse the radicals set up.
4. The United States would have been better off focusing on the only outrage that was of legitimate interest to the American government: the lack of respectshown by a complaisant Egyptian government and other Islamistsfor U.S. diplomatic missions.
5. ...pretext of slights and offenses against Islam have been part of Islamist strategy for decades. Iran's ayatollahs built an entire revolution around anti-Americanism.

The very best one can sat about Obama is that he is stupid.
And it cost American lives.
