WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is defending Vice President Joe Biden's debate statement that "we weren't told" there had been requests for more security at the U.S. consulate in Libya where four Americans were killed in a terrorist attack one month ago.

How many times did we hear “loose talk” ? My BS Bingo card had tokens stacked 4-5 deep on that square.
He did say they had a plan to create 7 million jobs, and I told the TV that I thought it was 12 million. He came back later and said 12 million, so I assume he heard me.
maggie, remember that the mighty o didn’t attend ANY intelligence briefings in the weeks before 9/11. Plausible deniability. Why do you think they publicized it so much?
Joe was probably laughing, guffawing, and knee-slapping when the request for more security came from Chris Stevens.
I was thinking the same thing about missed intelligence meetings, but you are connecting more dots ...
I doubt thats even close to being true.
But even if it is true by some remote chance, maybe if they showed up for the security briefings once in a while they would have known. Not that they would have changed anything...because they have a flawed view of our enemies.
So, who was lying? Biden at the VP Debate or the administration officials who testified before Congress? This is all on the record, so it has to be one or the other.
Thing is, if it is an intelligence failure than George Bush should immediately be apologized to by the MSM since it was the same failure that led to Saddam’s WMD’s.
Does anybody really think Laughing Joe would recognize intelligence if it bit him in the keister?
Yes, let's start squarely blaming Hillary Clinton and see how quickly she points the finger to her boss.
You would actually have to attend an intelligence briefing to be told of what is going on.
Starting to make some sense now.
Ping.

Biden & Hassan Nemazee
This is the biggest back story. Obama is throwing Hillary under the bus. She knows it and that is why the State Department had a conference call with the press- except FOX. The call was to give the press marching orders this was not Hillary's (State Departments) fault.
I wonder how Bill Clinton feels about this since he came to Obama's rescue at the convention and subsequent events... Don't get me wrong, Bill did this to show he (and thus his wife) are still winners. Now Obama has thrown the CLINTONS under the bus. Watch Bill closely, he is going to say something soon in an interview that will backstage Obama.....
It’s more like a jigsaw puzzle. Put the pieces together and voila, a picture emerges in living color. With this administration, blood always seems to be a large part of the puzzle. Mexicans, Hondurans, Americans, Christians around the world, babies........
So Obama gets called that the consulate is under attack and instead of asking basic questions like what was the size of the security team, what is the security status at the other embassies, and what are we doing to repel the “protesters” he freaking goes back to bed!
Probably didn’t ask for a full briefing when he woke up!
It’s pretty clear to me that the Admin wanted to use this as a political attack on the Republicans. They knew that they couldn’t have gotten away with this if this were a terrorist attack. Very clear that lives mean nothing to Obama.
