Biden contradicts State
Department on Benghazi security

Foreign Policy, by Josh Rogin

Original Article

Posted By:Pluperfect, 10/12/2012 4:33:50 AM

Vice President Joe Biden claimed that the administration wasn't aware of requests for more security in Libya before the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi during Thursday night's debate, contradicting two State Department officials and the former head of diplomatic security in Libya. In fact, two security officials who worked for the State Department in Libya at the time testified Thursday that they repeatedly requested more security and two State Department officials admitted they had denied those requests.

I guess nobody on Team O-B watched the hearings the other day.

Or read their newspapers either.

Or got online either.

And I guess they don't have enough friends, since nobody else told'em either.

And THEY'RE IN CHARGE of EVERYTHING.

Greaaaaaat................. But not for long!

In the memo from the official concerning security in libya, he used the word "recommend" rather than "request". I'm serious, they (dems)actually went there.

I feel like this question coming out first was a set up for Biden. If you noticed, she went to Ryan first, then Biden got to answer and basically lie, then she went on to other things, not giving Ryan the chance to contradict. If Im wrong, I stand corrected and I think Ryan missed a huge opportunity. Either way, dont think Obama will get away with this on Tuesday with Romney. For the first time, the presidents debate will address foreign policy. Up till the Libyan mess, Romney didnt have a lot to talk about. Now he can smack him where it hurts.

1 United States Ambassador raped and murdered.

Biden ''We weren't aware they requested more security.''

obama: ''This is just a bump in the road.''

obama: ''This is only being discussed because the Romney team has politicized it.''

If the reviews on Biden's performance are too caustic, Obama is going to have to change any plans he has by being disrespectful and contemptuous of Romney in the next debate.

Ugh! I can't get the image out of my mind of that clownish behavior of Biden's. I would be embarrassed if I were a Democrat. Is this who you want in the driver's seat, Independents?

#9 Martha tried to make the debate about her.
Unlike Lehrer.
She obviously took rudeness lessons from Biden.
Many times when Ryan was in the process of answering a question -she cut him off.
Apparently letting him finish his answer was not her priority.
I'm glad she never attempted to bring decorum to the debate by trying to enforce some basic rules of
behavior .
Biden took this as his cue to run wild and the grimacing, sneering, eye rolling, rictus grinning ,
snorting and constant snide interruptions reinforced that he is just as unfit to be in
the Oval Office as Obama is.

Re #2, Eric Norwood, who sent the cable from Libya requesting the security personnel, has specified that he used the word "request". This was abundantly clear from the testimony of the witnesses who represented the Libyan post at Wednesday's House Oversight Committee hearing on Benghazi security.

A for Biden, he is obviously far, far out of the loop as he denied there had been a request for security when that had been discussed thoroughly at the highly reported hearing on Wednesday.

His reason for being stuck on the video vs. terrorists position on the Benghazi attack may be traced back to DNI head James Clapper. Reported September 28th:

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper's office on Friday tried to explain the shifting public explanations for who was behind the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya. DNI public affairs director Shawn Turner said U.S. intelligence concluded "in the immediate aftermath" of the assault that it had begun "spontaneously" in the wake of violent protests in Egypt.

"We provided that initial assessment to Executive Branch officials and members of Congress, who used that information to discuss the attack publicly and provide updates as they became available," Turner said. "As we learned more ... we revised our initial assessment to reflect new information indicating that it was a deliberate and organized terrorist attack carried out by extremists."

Maybe if Obama had attended national security briefings he would have known about the need for more security in Libya. If he was aware - or cared about - the ongoing threat, he wouldn't have to be told more security was needed.

The "inconvenient truth" is that, after several request, the requests for more security for our embassy in Libya were denied. At the same time our embassy in France had a detachment of Marines protecting it.

Now I know how hostile and dangerous Paris is relative to Benghazi. And, the Libyan government is far more capable of providing protection for our embassy than the French government. But, I do think a detachment of Marines would have made a difference in the outcome in Benghazi.

Ah, well! That's just "bumps in the road." Four bumps to be exact!


Reply 24 - Posted by: Franz, 10/12/2012 2:17:15 PM     (No. 8928695)

It was revealed that the State Depart was receiving real-time information about what was happening in Benghazi. This included the fact that all was quiet until armed men invaded the embassy compound.

If the “intelligence community” was reporting that this was a spontaneous demonstration for more than a week after the attack, it should be justification for firing the lot of them for gross incompetence. The same goes for all the State Department officials said the same thing. They should have known the truth since they had access to the real-time information. If they didn’t know, they were stupid beyond belief. If they did know, they were out-and-out lying! If the State Department withheld the real-time information from the intelligence community, heads should roll!

It is beyond belief that the Obama administration, State Department, and intelligence community didn’t know the truth from the get-go.

Perhaps if the quasi-Muslim, dilettante pResident had spent time with his daily security briefers instead of Joy Behar and Whoppie Goldberg, four brave Americans would not have had to die at the hands of Muslim terrorists on September 11, 2012.

The nation has been in peril from Islam for a long time, but never more than at this moment when we have a Mulatto Marxist Muslim Butt Boy in office.

I am so angry I could spit. All this administration can do is lie, lie, lie. I wanted to slap Plug's Chicklet teeth out of his mouth last night. And he's back on the campaign trail today telling more lies.

So Biden's excuse for him and Obama doing nothing to prevent the sacking of our embassy in Benghazi is ignorance.

They didn't know. And why would they? They don't attend security briefings, they don't start "working" until late morning if at all, and their main purpose in life is to collect money for their re-election campaign.

"I didn't know" and "I forgot" are the excuses of a seven year-old. But Old Joe acted almost twice that last night.

The Gang of Eight — four Democratic and four Republican U.S. senators — have been meeting behind closed doors since January to produce “comprehensive immigration reform.” That will mean a multi-thousand-page bill that no one reads. You know the saying “fool me twice.” Americans got bamboozled in 2010, when the 2,572 page Obama health law was rushed through Congress unread. The surprises buried in that law are causing havoc. Let’s not repeat the mistake of “comprehensive” reform. Congress needs to fix immigration one step at a time, passing individual bills in plain English on border security, hiring, access to benefits

WASHINGTON—Senate Democrats are expected to defeat on Thursday a Republican effort to block gun-control legislation, paving the way for the full chamber to take up the issue for the first time since the December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. A bipartisan group of negotiators working on expanding background checks for gun buyers also appeared poised to announce a deal at a joint news conference Wednesday.

While politicians talk about expanding background checks for gun owners, I’m starting to think that what we really need are IQ tests for political officeholders.

Secretary of State John Kerry is worth some $200 million, give or take a yacht. So his decision to slap a 5% pay cut on himself in solidarity with government employees squeezed by sequestration won’t likely hurt him much. But he’s saving taxpayers another way, too — if unintentionally. And it’s downright troubling. How else is Kerry saving money? He’s failing to hire folks to fill key spots at his agency. Terrific. Think about it: With the North Koreans threatening nuclear strikes against America — and Kerry himself preparing to visit South Korea this week — wouldn’t it be a tad helpful
