West is a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. army who served one term in Congress from 2011 to 2013.

Retired is a nice way of saying forced resignation.

Good thing he’s a former agent. I would rather think of the Secret Service as party animals in Cartajena than wingnut assholes like this dude.

“The diplomatic skills of a congressman” As low as congressmen are on the totem pole this guy isn’t even on the pole.

You betcha! This whole Secret Service ‘accidentally’ falling down on the job sounds like this agency has great disdain for the President and couldn’t give a hoot if he or his family were harmed. Shame on them!

Yes, yes, this is a great idea! Let’s also let the Ferguson PD take over the DOJ, Steven Segal can run DoD, Rushbo can be head of Federal Women’s Program, Arpaio can head up the federal prison system, Steve King can run the office of minority health, and Sarah Palin can take the top job at NASA.

Phil Robertson can head the DOJ Civil Rights Division. Of course, George Zimmerman at ATF and Charles Koch at Interior…

And, let’s ask Michelle Bachmann to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, enlist Dennis Miller as Attorney General, and have Dennis Rodman serve as Secretary of State!

LOL. Allen West is an ideologue douche who would be more likely to shoot Obama than take a bullet for him. “Take a bullet for him? I thought I was suppose to GIVE him a bullet!”

“West has successfully demonstrated that he possesses the leadership skills of a combat officer as well as managerial and diplomatic skills of a congressman, exactly the traits needed in the next director.”

Yeah, nothing says “diplomacy” and “leadership” like firing a gun next to a captives head while threatening to kill him if he doesn’t give you information in violation of all sorts of US and international military codes, laws and treaties. Spot on Emmett, you fucking moron.

Heads better role on this one and this woman can’t do a better job of responding to simple questions, then she needs to go. Very unimpressed with her answers today. Everyone who fell down on the job in the 2011 incident as well as the most recent two have got to go!!!
