Even More Obama Incompetence

Here is the key section of a news article from The Independent, a London newspaper: According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted

What did Obama do with the two day warning? NOTHING. The marine guards were not even given ammunition to defend the embassy or themselves. Now, not only is the ambassador dead, but two of the marines and another diplomat are dead as well. Seventeen others are wounded.

How could nothing have been done to protect the embassies? This is not 9-11 when we all thought that terrorism was something that happened elsewhere. America has been at war with the terror groups for over ten years. After all that time, it is reasonable for the American people to expect that our leaders take proper precautions to protect US citizens, especially diplomats. But Obama has been too busy with his re-election campaign to get involved with things like keeping the country safe. In the middle of this whole mess, Obama went to Vegas for a fund raiser and a campaign speech. He skipped the intelligence briefing, just as he has skipped over half of these briefings during the last year. Clearly, Obama does not care about the safety of Americans as much as he cares about keeping his job. But if Obama won't do the job now, why should anyone vote to give it to him for still another four years?
