While the Obama Administration is busy figuring out the best course of action in response to Egyptian President Morsi’s ambivalence towards Tuesday’s Embassy attack, Eric Trager and David Schenker offer policy recommendations in the New York Daily News.

They will no doubt face retribution for the anti-Muslim internet film which served as a pretext for the Embassy violence.
