White House moves to insulate Biden, Obama on Libya Security question
Fox News ^ | October 12, 2012

Posted on 10/12/2012 10:40:51 AM PDT by Mrs. Frogjerk

The White House scrambled Friday to explain Vice President Biden's confusing statement that "we weren't told" of requests for more diplomatic security in Libya, claiming he was referring only to "himself" and President Obama.

Biden, during Thursday's debate, had made the controversial statement in response to criticism from Paul Ryan about the protection of diplomatic posts in Libya in the run-up to the Sept. 11 terror attack.

Moderator Martha Raddatz pressed him: "And they wanted more security there."

But Biden responded: "Well, we weren't told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again."

I read a dream on a website that a Christian man Maurice Sklar gave a prophetic word (04-03-2012) - and I quote:

Pride goes before a fall. President Obama has overstepped his authority, and I will humble and judge him before the entire nation.”

I read this some time ago and wasn’t sure whether to share it or not. As I watched the primaries unfold and then Mitt way down in the polls, I didn’t see this happening. However, it has always been in the back of my mind.

I’m sharing this and you can all believe it or not. I’m just sharing it here.

They can claim they didn’t know about the requests, but the bottom line is that if they’d bothered to attend, or even read the security briefings each day, I’m sure they would have been made aware of all the incidents that had occurred in Benghazi, in the months leading up to the attacks. Any security conscious person, who saw that repeated security problems were occurring at that site, should have at least inquired to find out if there was adequate security there to protect the Americans at the consulate. It’s their job to question these things, but Obama/Biden were obviously too busy to think about the safety of U.S. Citizens in a known hostile area.

Biden lied - but he’s in luck.

The New York Times didn’t notice.... not that they would have noticed if their filthy little faces were rubbed in it...

Got knee pads?

Oh, BS. I have worked in the military, private industry, and a quasi governmental civilian agency. The standard, inviolable rule of all such hierarchial organizations is you keep your boss informed. Obama and Biden had to know.

Maybe those intelligence briefings were important after all.

"the WH’s bus is bigger"

Not so sure about that, let's see what Bill Clinton does. If the Clinton's decide that Obama's toast they might try to save themselves. But if they conclude that Obama will be reelected they "might take one for the team" and quietly fade away. Going to be interesting to see how the blame game plays out. I am sure there is lots of pressure on Hil to fall on her sword right now. Will she or won't she?

They managed to find money to sink into a failing green company. So they could have forked over the cash to get more security. They are full of crap! They messed up and people paid for that with their lives.

There was a drone watching? Is this what they’re referring to when they said they were “watching it happen in real time?”

why was the drone there?

IOW, what im asking is, did they choose the drone instead of a fighter?

Yup! Nobody bothered to tell them about the gun running. So I guess fast and furious wasn’t their fault either! It all played out under their watch and they own that too!
