Our state department is incompetent.

But of course.

Dems and especially Clintons have always had the opinion that government is so easy, anyone can do it. They treated it that way before, hired and appointed that way and continue to treat it that way.

A Clinton in State GUARANTEES incompetence.

LOLOL!

It was classic.

We should post it, but I think it might take approval due to the language. What do you think?

>> The sheer incompetence of our State Department and the Obama administration is once again being trotted out for the world to see.

And these dirtbags decided to sacrifice the 1st Amendment as a diversion.

The Preezy of the United Steezy no doubt thinks Chillin' With The Stars is the most important thing to do. So do most of his vapid, useless, greedy, and abysmally ignorant supporters. The few who happen to be smart are in it for the personal power, satisfaction of their evil motives, and their share of the huge theft of taxpayer monies.

I don't find this "Chillin"". I find it chilling...

If I weren’t on my cell and in the Middle of physical therapy I’d do it with a proviso warning .

It was too much!!!

If its not on the list maybe it could be edited appropriately.

All foreign Intel Operations should be removed from the oversight & control of the State Department & Sec of State. It needs to be placed under the Pentagon where more rational minds can discern the collected information and coordinate responses if needed. The State Department as far as leaks and bad judgement goes has been compromised for decades.

Our state department is incompetent.

&&&
Incompetant...or sticking to the plan?

Boy, if we have planes getting shot out of the sky over the US, wouldn’t that be just what is needed to declare martial law right around election time?

Now it appears that the “safe house” where Stevens and others were supposed to find security during the attack was a treasure trove of CIA and State Department information on efforts to recover MANPADS and the identities of local nationals who were working on our behalf.

The "safe house" was reported to be just a regular house with no security and no defense other than the mistaken belief that it was indeed secret and unknown.

Doesn't sound like the kind of place knowledgeable, competent professionals would store important intelligence information.

But then we are talking about the Obama administration and the Clinton State Dept.

This is appalling. The 2 former Seals who were murdered were probably going ballistic over what they were seeing.

An intelligence treasure trove in an unsecured house. This isn’t even done in the movies. Even movie directors know that a safe house has to have something....booby traps, document destruction capabilities...something.

Absolutely amazing incompetence.

OK - so AQ had no plans to start shooting jets out of the sky with the 15K manpads they acquired UNTIL Hillary! and zero started cramming some video AQ hadn’t even heard of down Arab Spring throats.

I wouldn’t want to be one of the Libyans who helped us who have been compromised. My guess is that some of them are already gone.

No one will trust us.

That is another disaster.

It’s the 15,000 SA-24 Grinch man-portable anti-aircraft missiles that are floating around Libya (probably in AQ hands) that has them worried.

Are these the ones that have the GPS in them similar to OnStar®?

We just call them and they phone back their location?

Thanks for the photo. Hadn't heard of this missile; it's a newer generation than the SA-14's some African AQ types tried to kill an airliner with in East Africa several years ago.

This just sounds ominous.
