Biden adds more confusion to Libya story with debate claim on security

Vice President Biden's claim at Thursday's debate that the administration wasn't told of requests for more diplomatic security in the run-up to the Libya terror attack added only more confusion to an already muddled narrative.

In addition to raising eyebrows over that comment, the vice president went a step further and threw the intelligence community under the bus -- putting the blame squarely on their shoulders for the faulty narrative, pushed for more than a week by the administration, that the attack was a protest spun out of control.

The exchange on Libya, which opened the debate in Kentucky, was among the toughest in a persistently confrontational face-off. But Biden's comment on security was drawing widespread condemnation from Republicans Friday, with Romney adviser Dan Senor saying Biden "continued the administration's pattern of misleading" on Libya.

"more confusion to an already muddled narrative"

F*** the "narrative".

The Administration is lying through its teeth about abdicating National Security to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Stick with FACTS versus LIES, and damn the "narrative!"

Order of events:Cairo apologizes and blamed Americans and the video. Romney objected. The MSM and administration (is their a difference) objected to Romney. Obama disavowed the Cairo statement. Obama went to bed. The Ambassador and other citizens were murdered. Obama got up and flew to Vegas.

I keep hearing about this, but didn’t he say later in the debate bash the republicans for voting against funding for additional security?
Why would he say something like that unless he had knowledge of some form of request for additional security measures?
I’m lost...

In the Congressional hearing earlier this week, Lamb was asked point blank if funding/money had anything to do with staffing levels in security at the consulate. She paused in her response but said clearly “NO”. Any other spin by the Dems is just that... spin.

This may yet prove deadly to Zero - he may be in more over his head than we could ever imagine.
These spooks may end up turning the tables on HIM - and maybe just days before the election.
