I wouldn't call the administration inept. Rather, I'd call it deceitful, antagonistic and corrupt -- and very sophisticated politically. I'm not speaking of Obama, but of the network behind him.
There is, withhout a doubt, back-channel contact with the Muslim Brotherhood. William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, plus SEIU representatives, were in Cairo prior to the Arab Spring uprising -- schooling MB leadership in the use of social media to motivate and organize their rabble.
The administration's insistence on citing the video trailer suggests some kind of investment (not necessarily financial) in the project. I suspect they intended to utilize Innocence of Muslims in some manner, relative to the embassy protests across the Middle East. But they were surpised by the concurrent al-Qaeda attack on the Libyan consulate and the resultant deaths. That wasn't part of the plan.
Given that Fast & Furious was obviously part of a plot to curb the Second Amendment, would it surprise you if Innocence of Muslims was part of a complicated plot to erode the First Amendment?
I’m coming to realize that the muslim brotherhood reaches to the top of the Obama administration. How about Houma at State? Do you think she knows some mb boys?
I think you are right.

No, but I think there is more to it than that. On another note, Romney should be able to knock this one out of the park.
The fact that Obama’s people immediately and adamantly blamed the attack on an obscure, amateurish film, and then held onto that strategy too long, would certainly suggest the Obamunists were in on the exploitation of the film ahead of time. Its like they showed up with a “can’t lose” game plan, and kept running it according to script when it was obvious to everyone in the stands that it wasn’t going to work.
I agree. The administration is in this up to it’s eyeballs. Note how the Egyptian embassy had a message prepared about the trailer when no one had even heard of the thing and that it hadn’t gone viral until later after the riots started.
I think so too. AQ found out about the ruse (maybe by word of mouth or maybe tipped off by the MB) and used it to their advantage to attack the consulate. The ruse was needed to change the subject from the economy to foreign affairs where Romney would be at a disadvantage. Muslims would be screaming in the streets and obama would come to the rescue of this manufactured crisis. This sounds just like obama. Well, the ruse went terribly wrong.
I watched those riots and remarked to my wife that those riots remarkably resemble a 1967 anti-vietnam protest right down to the flag/effigy burning and throwing back the gas canisters. Later, I read Code Pink was there and instruction booklets printed in english and kindergarten arabic were litter on the ground--"how to protest".
