1. That sound you hear in the background is the last drop of sympathy
the world had for our loss on 9/11. George and Co blew it like they blew our surplus.

3. But why is he angry?
Because of the atrocities or because the atrocities are substantiated? The rumors have been spreading daily about abuse of prisoners. He never responded or investigated allegations.

5. He has to appear presidential
Its obvious which way the world community is going to respond to this. He has to get in line with them on this issue.

The freepers are caught up in the hype Rove and crew created and see all Muslems as subhuman. They are ready to nuke the entire country. They are ready to destroy every Arab nation on the planet.

When you wish to galvanize a people using the tactics Rove and crew are using you must whip them into a raving frenzy. Then you can take the helm while claiming the moral high ground. When you need to push an issue you simply unleash the dogs of war and the mob carries your point home.
