For an attack that was not well planned, it certainly was successful.
Is this man saying that the US cannot repel a poorly planned attack, because that is apparently the case.
That is the problem of approaching the argument with whether the attack was because of a video or was it just spontaneous or whatever. The argument should be who gave the order to stand down 3 times? Then next question, Why was the stand down order given?
The implication is .. we're incompetent
Methinks you’re right.
