Though I like much of what you've said, I think you've exactly hit on what Barry's up to with such killings--in the negative--that is I think you have the wrong answer, but at least the right question. Barry's message in the video game-like drone-based, Zap'em!, redounds through many of his activities: 1) to rile the Islamics against the US and 2) make the US out as the bad guy on whom Islamics should wreak revenge, and 3) keep Barry lookin' good.
Barry, with his smoker and netting is swatting at the bees' nest with his truncheon.
It's just as with the "Innocence of Muslims" video trailer episode. Point at the bad strawman--a Copt that produces an Internet-based insult to Islam, one that any Islamic with a computer can see sufficient times (at no further cost (unlike Hillary's $70k Pok-ee-stan commercial)) to get them riled enough throughout the ME to further empower the gathering strength of the Muslim Brotherhood and AlQaeda. Disavow US government connection to the video and see that the producer winds up in jail. In the midst of all that, he goes before his homies at the UN and proclaims that "the future must not belong to those that slander the Prophet of Islam."
As with the apology tour, as with the video, as with not lifting a finger against the consulate attackers, as with handing AQ and the MB weapons ostensibly to use against Qadaffy and the Syrians, such weapons are also meant to hand MB and AQ moral and military superiority throughout the Middle East, and even allow hundreds of shoulder-fired rockets eventually to wreck US aviation in the not-distant future, after he's no longer Pres__dent.
Barry's message is not in doubt: 1) He takes solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance against his mother's country, 2) He's standing with the Muslims as the political winds turn ugly, 3) he's an Islamicist himself. His aim is to bring down the US in every way he can, handing over country after country to the MB and other like-minded Islamics!

It could certainly be that Barry is doing his fly-swatting to give us a bad rep. But I also think it’s because he’s crazy and in his tiny mind, everybody is a video game figure. Nobody is real but him, and he’s whatever he says he is at any given moment.
It probably gives him a great feeling of power to sit there with some advisor and draw up his “kill list.” He knows that danger will never be allowed to approach him and that there is an inexhaustible supply of crazy desert goat lovers to take out and probably few people will miss them. And as for those innocents (and there are some) who happen to be in the way when Barry’s bombs drop, well, they’re all just part of the video game.
I’m always amused by the way the left feels free to excuse or even praise this, while they did nothing but attack and undermine our troops who were fighting a legitimate war, trying to attack the combatants, spare the civilians, and actually carry out a long-term policy aimed at making things good again. (The policy failed only because Bush permitted someone to talk him into letting the Iraqis enshrine Islam in their constitution; we needed them to accept our secular system, not let them use us to reinforce their nutty religious system, worse now than it was under Saddam.)
That said, I used to worry about having a Muslim as president (and I still do) but having a Muslim psychotic as president is ten times worse. He’s so crazy that even while his short term objective may be the promotion of Islam, his long-term objective is the promotion of His Holiness Obama. Bambi really thinks he’s something so special that no one can comprehend him, advise him or restrain him.
If we don’t get him out of here next month, we’re going to be in seriously huge trouble.
