Is this administration that stupid?

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Friday the violent protests throughout the Middle East are not directed at the United States or U.S. policy but are a response to a YouTube video:

CARNEY: We also need to understand that this is a fairly volatile situation and it is in response not to United States policy, and not to, obviously, the administration, or the American people, but it is in response to a video, a film that we have judged to be be reprehensible and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it, but this is not a case of protests directed at the United States writ large or at U.S. policy, this is in response to a video that is offensive to Muslims.

Again, this is not in any way justifying violence, and we have spoken very clearly out against that and condemned it. And the president is making sure in his conversations with leaders around the region that they are committed as hosts to diplomatic facilities to protect both personnel and buildings and other facilities that are part of the U.S. representation in those countries.

The protests which began earlier this week have expanded rapidly across the Middle East on Friday.

Protesters attacked the U.S. Embassies in Tunis and Sudan; Tunisian protesters smashed windows and lit fires inside the embassy compound, while gunfire could be heard. Images of a dark column of smoke over the Tunisian site have circulated on the Internet Friday.

According to a page on the State Department’s website describing what an embassy is, an attack on an embassy is considered an attack on that country.

“Because an embassy represents a sovereign state, any attack on an embassy is considered an attack on the country it represents,” the page reads.

Yeah, the one that has shown on exactly one screen in Hollywood and was WELL documented at VERY poorly attended. Makes perfect sense, that's what provoked them.

Yes, yes it is this stupid. Granted they are trying to be as PC as possible while they give diplomacy every chance in resolving this situation. But it also shows a fact that there are some folks out there not wanting to discuss our differences, nor are they wanting to develope a rapport to hopefully come to a peacefull solution to our differences. No, they want to kill each and every one of us ifidels.

I just heard that speech too. It is laughable.

I truly believe that most people will believe that crock.

Most everyone is asleep.

However, There are more people on this forum awake than probably the entire town of Tulsa.

I am proud of you OSA.

For those of us lacking the ability and/or where withall to impact the world stage there's more important things around for us to occupy our thoughts like where does one find ladies that look like the vivacious example in Milsurp 2.0's avatar?

Now that's an important question.
