I know that this will get me committed, but.....
I think that the entire thing was planned from front to back.
The film makers had planned with ME groups to get Islamic people fired up using the video.
US actors in the film said that their spoken lines were nowhere near as political as the final over-dubbing.
They would then hunker down behind the US 1A, and cause internal fighting as our politicl factions fought each other about 1A freedom vs. government interdiction.
The trailer was then dropped on Youtube, the the ME agitators then went to work translating and sharing the video amongst their factions.
I believe that the Youtube views were less than 10,000 right after this started.
All of these muslims are pissed about the video, and the view count is low?
I'll bet that they already had copies that began circulating within the ME.
Cripe, the original went up on Youtube in July!
All of these actions were planned and coordinated, culminating in attacks on US embassies throughout the ME.
My analysis is based upon the simplicity used by AQ for the 9/11 attacks.
Given our current weak economic condition, and our weak social order, as it is an election year, the timing was perfect.
AQ has been unable to get us domestically (underwear, shoes, etc), so they figured that hitting our hallowed ground overseas would work, and draw us out, and spread us very thin aroung the world.
Go ahead and call me stupid, or a conspiracy theorist, but I have never forgotten the simple, basic logic behind the 9/11 attacks.
