Vice President Joseph Biden speaks only for himself and President Barack Obama, and neither man was aware that U.S. officials in Libya had asked the State Department for more security before the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, a top White House official told The Cable.
Biden has come under fire for saying at Thursday night's debate, "We weren't told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there."
The Cable asked Deputy National Security Advisor for Communications Ben Rhodes whether Biden was speaking for the entire Obama administration, including the State Department, which acknowledged receiving multiple requests for more Libya security in the months before the attacks. Rhodes said that Biden speaks only for himself and the president and neither of them knew about the requests at the time.

I can’t shake the feeling that this whole thing was planned by the administration, from start to finish, including doctoring the “video.” That would explain Hitlery’s insistence that “we had NOTHING to do with this video” (translation: we had everything to do with this video) and Obozo’s callous comments about “a few bumps in the road.” Charlene Lamb said she watched it happen in real time. Was this on the video cameras inside the consulate or through the drones outside? Either way, the fact that they did nothing to help these four means they are accessories to murder, if not outright accomplices in the asassination of the Ambassador.
But...but...Biden says “we will KNOW, from our intelligence, the minute Iran has a nuclear weapon”.
Same intelligence community?
“White House: Obama and Biden were never aware of requests for more Benghazi security”
IF that’s true, oblamer, WTF does anyone need you for?
It’s common knowledge how to build a bomb. The U.S.A. was the first and it took a few years back in WWII. The know-how has been around for nearly 70 years. The problem is obtaining the materials and delivery system. Iran has the fissile material for a bomb, and they are refining it to ensure it works. Make a tube, explosive charge at both ends each with half the fissile material. A pound and a half of material highly enriched will work. As far as I know, every first attempt at testing by new members of the atomic club have been successful.
Question is, will Iran even bother testing on their own soil or will they simply deploy and test on their enemies? If so, we will know the minute they have it - by the bright flash over Israel or American assets.
Joe needs to read Brietbart to find out what’s happening in his own office.
Or watch Fox news to learn of what is occuring in the executive branch.
He may not be aware of the Fast and Furious deal either.
This is how Obama manages his executive branch.
