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.
"We weren't told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there," Biden said.
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.
"All of us at post were in sync that we wanted these resources," the top regional security officer in Libya over the summer, Eric Nordstrom, testified. "In those conversations, I was specifically told [by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb] You cannot request an SST extension.' I determined I was told that because there would be too much political cost. We went ahead and requested it anyway."

When he said “we”, he meant himself and the president... Nobody tells them anything.
I caught Biden’s lie also. This fool acted like a real jackass bully if I ever seen on the debate. He was a disgusting old jackass that spun everything he said. And the moderator was just as disgusting.
we need a Cheshire Biden graphic where he just fades away except for the stupid grin.
Someone said on another thread that ISSA needs to call Biden before the Committee under OATH and have him repeat that to the nation!!!
Would make a great AD
“Look, lets get real here for a second. I’ve been working for the middle class for a bazillion years. Who you going to believe elderly people. Me, or these crazy people talking stuff! WE HAD NO IDEA WE WERE UNDER ATTACK!” - Biden
Biden didn’t dissapoint. He was true to form last night.
" 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 "
Ohh Joe why then did you and the Democrats send Nancy Pelosi out to blame the Republicans for trying to cut the so called budget you guys claim that could have been put in place when you claim they the people at those Embassies were asking for more security ? come on old Joe, can't have it both ways... it's either, or...
The RNC needs to keep putting on the pressure with Biden commercials. I would like to see them do one with the split screen from last nights debate with Joe laughing and smirking while the topic was four Americans being killed in Libya. This man has some kind of mental defect.
Not to mention that Obama doesn't even bother to attend national security meetings. He's far too busy pursuing his athletic endeavors and hobnobbing with the stars to worry about such trivial stuff.
How many “5 Hour Energy” bottles did Biden scarf down before going on last night? He looked positively juiced.
The only thing missing from Biden was a red nose.Next intro for Obama and Biden will be bring in the clowms.
Perhaps Joe laughed at Chris Stevens’ request, instead of listening.
