Egypt and Libya Protesters are Part of a Larger Military Attack

Despite what many are reporting, it is difficult for me to believe this is a simple mob or riot.  The video that was referred to was nearly two months old.  It gives me pause that the protesters would wait for 9/11 in order to produce maximum effect.
It is clear the intent here was a military action.  This was not a simple protest about a film.  Not only did al-Queda make the claim the attack was revenge, but again the video was two months old.  If this was about outrage over a video, the attack would have come sooner.  I'm not going to believe these people waited until precisely the anniversary of the attack on the WTC to voice their grievances.  Simultaneously, do you expect me to believe a simple uncoordinated mob knew where the safehouses for the embassy officials were
Furthermore I am outraged at the bifurcation given by the Egyptian prime minister, Hisham Qandil, on this issue.  Take this choice quote.  About how the west needs to:
strike a balance between freedom of expression and to maintain respect for other people’s beliefs.
I am referring to third party reporting from the New York Times. In that article, the PM of Egypt quote continues.  It as if he treats the "protesters" response as appropriate to the film makers work.  Now I have my problem with the film maker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, (he is a scumbag, drug dealing, criminal that should have been deported long ago,) but that juxtaposition is completely inappropriate.  In fact who cares really since it is now clear that this is no longer about a film.  This leads me to conclude that the PM is on the enemies side.  That would make him an enemy to this country.
Over the past 30 years we have made friends with those that should have been our enemies.  We have forged alliances with nations that do not believe in our way of life.  We should have been busy wiping off the face of the earth.  I know our military forces our stretched, and our boys are stretched out.  But I also feel we have no other choice based on the information we have.  At this point I support military action against Egypt.  It has been shown without a shadow of a doubt that they are no longer our ally.  I don't believe they ever were.
