Former CIA operative Mike Baker and Retired Col. David Hunt were on Judge Jeanine tonight to discuss who knew and who was watching the attack unfold as well as what assets were available and how quick could they get there. As you might expect, it just makes the Obama admin look even more incompetent.

Aug. Cable sent to State warned of attack, security concerns in Benghazi
Officials at the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya, warned the State Department that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi could not withstand a “coordinated attack” less than a month before the Sept. 11 terrorist attack at the site, according to a classified cable obtained by Fox:
“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.
According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.
The details in the cable seemed to foreshadow the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. compound, which was a coordinated, commando-style assault using direct and indirect fire. Al Qaeda in North Africa and Ansar al-Sharia, both mentioned in the cable, have since been implicated in the consulate attack.
