From Macbeth:

"She should have died hereafter.

There would have been a time for such a word.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

Summary: How precisely did the pretty girl get from "we have jihadis over here who appear quite normal (i.e., moderate)" to "let's bomb the desert over there"? Yeesh!

Sure Egghead, your analysis in your first comment was mostly cogent. I was being forgiving in the sense of reaching more people. Btw, I liked the video before I ever saw her -- someone played the audio for me. The relatively short presentation has punch that sure, on closer inspection is full of asymptotic flaws; but there are contexts and occasions where punchy rhetoric generally steers in the right direction.
