| #8 Nope. State agrees completely with this guy. Disagreeing would put their Saudi Retirement Funds at risk. |

| #7 If State's personal emails ever get hacked like Sony, we'd all probably be entertained with similar views expressed. directly or implied, by its personnel. |

| #5 More like they don't expect their target audience to read more than the tweet. To be fair, people like us are not their target audience... and they believe as an article of faith that we're stupid Luddites. |

| #4 “But this isn’t a standard case of double-speak, where they get caught between one of these guys saying one thing for Western audiences and then turning around and saying the opposite when talking to his own people. Here we have Sheik Tayeb’s quote about ‘global colonialism allied to world Zionism’ in the very same article that they tweeted out. It’s as if they didn’t read past the first few graphs.” More like they don't expect their target audience to read more than the tweet. |

| #1 Tweeting statements that sound good, without checking the source material. I swear it has been amateur hour for the State Department for decades. |
