Complete title, too long to fit in space:

Former Secret Service Agent Tells Wilkow Obama Administration Has Shown ‘Sheer Incompetence’ in Handling Libya Attack

###

On Friday, TheBlazeTV’s Andrew Wilkow hosted former Secret Service agent and GOP Senate candidate Dan Bongino to discuss the facts surrounding the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya earlier this week. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three of his staff were killed when an angry mob of Islamists stormed the compound.

Bongino said there are only two possible reasons the U.S. was as unprepared for the fiery assault as it was.

“Either this was the worst threat assessment done by completely incompetent people or the threat assessment was accurate and was ignored,” he said. “And a valid question is, was it ignored for political reasons? I’m not making accusations, I don’t have the data. No one at the State Department is talking.”

The former Secret Service agent went on say the State Department has shown “sheer incompetence” in handling the situation and accused the Obama administration of having a “history of secrecy” in similar situations.

“We’ve seen this before with this administration, politics before security,” Bongino added.

Agreeing, Wilkow readily admitted that he is no security expert, but said with an anti-Muslim video running on state-run TV, “you might say to the embassy, you know what, just keep an eye out.”

The former Secret Service Agent is assuming that it’s not deliberate.

Check your basic premises, Agent Bongino...

Tell it to someone else. I refuse to swallow the "sheer incompetence" pill.

Obama has internal polls which are devastating to his chances of another 4 years. The United States of Islam (which includes in its premise, NO AMERICAN/ISRAELI PRESENCE in the ME)is being fasttracked.

If Obama can force a nullification of a Romney victory, fine, if not we'll see why the Fed has purchased millions of rounds of HP and .308 ammo and is stockpiling the stores around the country.

Mr. President, schedule a state of the country news conference now. Make it so big that it interrupts the most favorite tv and radio shows in prime time. Forget the “My Fellow Americans” crap. Get to it and tell us what our country is facing. Tell us what you’ve done to us in the name of what you thought was right and true to your beliefs. Tell us why you thought it was so important to make Homosexuals number 1 on your agenda. Tell us where you have spent our tax dollars. Tell us why you stand up for Islam but not for our freedom do religion. Tell us why you have turned our White House into a party den. Tell us why you want our country invaded by illegals. Tell us why you haven’t terminated the services of Eric Holder. Tell us why Valerie Jarret gets armed security but our embassies overseas do not. Who would want to harm Valerie Jarret? Tell us why you have attacked our country behind the scenes and damaged the futures of our children? Tell us why you have hurt our military forces. Tell us, Mr President, why you and your wife shouldn’t be considered America’s number 1 enemy? Don’t tell us to give you another chance. No way. No matter what polls say, you’re not going to win. No matter who says you’re likeable, you’re not! Nobody likes you. Hold that news conference, Mr President and then walk away. Let this country, with the help of God, heal itself.

Yeah, right.

A real Commander-in-Chief would have our Flag flying on our Embassy Grounds by now or would have leveled our Property.

We are either there or we’re not!

“Sheer Incompetence”

When “traitorous” simply won’t adequately express the situation.

Why am I shocked that sand hasn’t been turned to glass by now? I wonder if when Romney wins, he will right these wrongs by doing just that?
