Now? What took so long?

Foreign Policy is reporting that the State Department has gone into overdrive to deal with the problems at American embassies in the middle east.

"The State Department has stood up a 24-hr monitoring team to insure appropriate coordination of information and our response. In addition, our consular team is working with missions around the world to protect American citizens and issue appropriate public warden information," a senior State Department official told reporters Friday afternoon.

"We have been monitoring events in the Middle East and North Africa intensively today, and working with our personnel and missions overseas and host governments to strengthen security in all locations and to respond effectively where protests have turned violent," the official said.


Are they kidding? The Obama administration gets well in advance that there may be problems at American embassies on September 11th, Obama does nothing about it, the ambassador to Libya and three other Americans are killed and seventeen others are wounded in Benghazi in just the sort of attack about which the warning was received and now, NOW, they decide to go into high gear. What a joke! These are the most incompetent fools imaginable.

Perhaps the worst part of all this is that the State Department is looking now to take credit for its strong reaction to the crisis. This is the equivalent of someone getting totally drunk, driving his car into a bus and causing fatalities and then seeking credit for coming back two days later to help clean up the area of the accident. The Obamacrats have no shame.
