"We weren't told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again," Biden said in Wednesday's encounter with Paul Ryan.
The truthfulness of that statements depends on what Biden meant when he said "we" — State Department officials admitted in recent congressional hearings that requests were received from the Libyan missions for additional security resources in advance of the attack that killed four Americans.

Wait a sec. Even if what Biden said was true, what he’s saying is “Hey, we didn’t have a clue what was going on over there.” That’s the best they’ve got? That’s supposed to engender confidence? Really? Keep digging guys.
Let me understand.
Joe Biden didn’t know that there were requests for additional security in Libya.
But I did.
And 99% of Freepers did.
Sure.
“We” means Biden and his dog.
Obviously, the Messiah and crew did not feel it necessary to fill in the man who is a heartbeat away from the Presidency. So this really begs the question, "Why in the hell did the Messiah pick this man as his VP."
My personal opinion is that the threat of actually ending up with a President Biden is a mutually-assured destruction mechanism meant to deter any attempts on the life of the primary executive. There you go.
If they didn’t know, they SHOULD have known. Leadership FAIL!
Biden was the only person in DC that was less bright then Zero.
Maybe if he’d attended more of those security meetings instead of playing the back nine? - jus askin
Throwing Hillary under the bus and to a lesser extent the CIA
Maybe that’s why “we” should actually attend those briefings, ya think?
There is a reason why Obama has spent millions to keep his transcripts, documents, essays, etc. from scrutiny by the public.
BS. When a VP says “we” it means the united states. End of story.
i can see how this is true- the president cannot micro-manage every decision for every department
but he is still a dumba$$
My guess? Nothing.
Check out Clay Shirky in the O’Keefe video on the New York Times. It's all ‘attitude’ with these guys. They don't have to be superior - they don't have to accomplish anything, they just have to ACT superior. Roll their eyes, talk with their noses in the air.... stuffed shirt creepy...pushing lies out - destroying the credibility of journalism, killing the newspaper industry. They've turned 'news' into a dirty word... and a filthy profession. But they can sure roll those eyes... and 'smirk' with the best of 'em. Losers.
In an amazingly apropos saying, “it’s the poor workman who blames his tools”...
If the wing commander gets fired when somebody in the Egress shop screws up an ejection seat, the CinC and the Vice should get fired when their State Department tools, enforcing THEIR policy, fail to provide sufficient security. Am I missing something?
Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. (And, in this case, justifiably damned either way.)
If they knew about the requests, they’re negligent and culpable. If they didn’t know about the requests, then they’re lazy and incompetent.
They’ve chosen to plant their flag on “lazy and incompetent”.
