I guess I'll have to wait for Jay Carney to tell us what Joe really means...
SloJoe Butt-In strikes again!
Chairman Issa should put Smilin’ Joe under oath for his testimony regarding the Bengazi debacle. I’m sure the intelligence agencies are not amused by the lie he told last night, trying to cover for Obummer’s failure.
Thanks for posting. This gaffe will leave a mark.
BIDEN: “Well, we weren’t told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again. And by the way, at the time we were told exactly – we said exactly what the intelligence community told us that they knew. That was the assessment. And as the intelligence community changed their view, we made it clear they changed their view.”
RYAN: “There were requests for more security.”
THE FACTS: Ryan is right, judging by testimony from Obama administration officials at the hearing a day earlier.
Charlene R. Lamb, a deputy assistant secretary for diplomatic security, told lawmakers she refused requests for more security in Benghazi, saying the department wanted to train Libyans to protect the consulate. “Yes, sir, I said personally I would not support it,” she said.
Simple Joe made a HUGE mistake by throwing the Intelligence community under the bus to save Barack Hussein Obama’s (mmm mmm mmm) hide. They are NOT amused.
Biden has been peeing in the punch bowl for years, now he pooped in the punch bowl.
Come on libs, get your cups and line up and get some.
When CBS and MSNBC state that a ‘rat has ****ed up, they REALLY ****ed up.
Blatantly lied. Shocker!

The WH has been skipping intel breifings for months. However cluelessnes is no defense.
According to that braying jackass Libya (600,000+sq. miles) is SMALLER than Syria (72,000+ sq. miles).
Jackass.

Major gaffe, even for the likes of Biden. Yet more evidence of a dysfunctional administration.
Is it possible he actually didn’t know this stuff? VP’s are often ignored and not filled in on details. Maybe he didn’t watch the hearings? Just trying to guess what kind of excuses Baghdad Bob Jay Carny will make if the media asks him about this.
“Big trouble”.. We only use that term for white presidents.
Last night I had a discussion with someone on the WSJ comment board that pointed out the real danger for Obama in Biden’s answer. I had missed it completely. This is the conversation that I had last night, or at least part of it.
James- I missed it the first time through. Biden let the cat out of the bag about why the Libyian situation was allowed to happen when he plaintively complains, “The country used to come together in a crisis.”. That statement finally gives a reason for why the situation was allowed to develop in Libya and why the Americans were allowed to be killed. Poor Joe seemed completely baffled about why they were not getting the desired outcome. And people are going to claim he got through the night gaffe free...not so.
Me - I had never considered the possibility that they actually thought that allowing the situation to “develop” would benefit them. It is just too despicable to even consider, but I’m afraid you’re right. That’s what Cutter meant when she said that none of this would be an issue if it wasn’t for Romney and Ryan, she meant that they would have gotten away with it and used it to their advantage.
I recall reading a description of the NSA meeting that Obama is supposed to have had on 9/11, where they discussed sending in a rapid response team, but said that the next day would be soon enough because it would take hours, 4, 6, even possibly 12 hours to have planes there. Someone on these WSJ boards, commented that it would only take military jets 20 minutes to get there from souther Italy, but Obama waited until the next day. Sharlene Lamb testified that she watched the whole thing on her computer in real time, and they waited until the next day. They let those people suffer a horrible death, they waited until the next day, all because the lives of those four Americans were not as valuable as their blame America first ideology and a political campaign.
Can I get some help here?
That is why she held the conference call and disavowed the "youtube killed the Ambassador" meme (Sung to the tune of "video killed the radio star.") It was a shot over the bow of the SS Barry Hussein.
Biden's "we weren't told about Security issues" is the return shot from Obama.
If any of you still have the debate on your DVR go back and watch that part. Biden delivered that line like a pro. Which tells me it was practiced. And if it was practiced it was discussed and honed to perfection. And Barry Hussein had a part in that debate prep as well as Axelrod and all the rest of the Bowery Boys who work on the campaign.
Hillary and Barry are in a shooting war!
“...Videos at link... Not only did Uncle Joe lose the debate, he dug a deeper hole for Obama relative to the Libya scandal. #Karma...”
He was just singing the party line. Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that.
Come on Joe, Big Bird is just waiting for a new clown partner and we can’t find anyone more qualified than yourself.
