Biden slammed for insisting Libya consulate DIDN'T ask for more security before deadly attack despite officials' worries

given the warnings ahead of time, this was anything but routine.

There are warnings ahead of time all over the world for attacks that never happen. This one did, that is all that can be granted.

Obama wasn't manning the security at the airport where the underwear bomber boarded his flight to the US. Obama could hardly be expected to arm himself with an M16 and guard the embassy himself. And it is highly unlikely he would have been even remotely involved in the security decisions at a single embassy. This gotcha is scoring about .5 on a 1 to 10 scale.

Ok I am in a position I hate, but to be fair I must agree with her. There are over 450 diplomatic missions of the U.S. in the world. There is now way in Hell any President could keep up with the daily security taskings of each mission and all the intricate details associated with that. Heck not even at Hillary's level could she get that involved.

I think what she did was take one for the President.

Nobody hopes he gets defeated more than I do, but to think he should know the daily threat level of over 450 missions, plus do everything else a President does is absurd.

If you don't attend daily briefings and instead play golf, you have no chance of knowing whats going on. Hillary fell on a sword to cover for the baffoon. Who is taking credit for the month long lies and cover up?

Thank you..P.S.Biden should try it. Cause it also was not an inelegance failure.

No politician will ever be completely honest. Or even mostly honest. Nature of the beast!

That's it, nobody even bother voting! Someone on the internet said it's over!

Don't rain on Paul's parade. He wants to rub Romney all over himself like a cheap cologne and dance in the street naked. Let him.

So, Obama carries no responsibility for what happened at the embassy, but he gets all the credit for killing bin Laden.

Speaking of.... when does your dance routine come to an end?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

I've asked you this before, Danno, but maybe this time you'll answer me. Your signature says "tolerance is for the person who has no conviction" ... what does that mean? Or what do you think it means?

It makes it sound like tolerance is a negative thing and that doesn't make any sense.

It happened while Obama was President, so to a small degree some blame applies to him yes. But the actual responibility lies very very very far down the chain of command, and is incredibly indirect.

Obama was directly involved on the other hand in the operation to take out Bin Laden. He does not get the same credit as the SEALS who carried the actual operation out on the ground of course but yes he gets credit.

Obama did say we would hunt those responsible for the embassy attack, and my guess is, although once again he won't be personally involved in their capture Obama will make sure proper agencies are working on just that.

The thrust of the OP is silly RWN gibberish. Sorry to burst your bubble.

It depends on whom you ask....

Truthers will tell you that Obama holds as much responsibility for Benghazi as W for 9/11.

You can pin the blame for lack of security on Hillary Clinton; but after the attack, the President should have been informed of everything happening. That's his job. I want to know why there was a parade of people claiming it was a protest over a video when we now know that there was no protest. We can pin the response to the attack on Barack Obama and he has either lied to the American people or he chose to be ignorant of the facts as he blamed the video.

Are you claiming that the President lied about what our intelligence had told him about the attack?

[B_J 2,752]

I didn't say that at all. But that is one possibility. Or maybe the intelligence community decided not to tell him what they knew. Or perhaps they wanted to tell him but he didn't want to know. Or (fill in your own reason).

I just want to know why we were told it was a protest that turned violent when that is not even close to the truth.

Obama lied. Innocents died.
