Today Ed Morrissey at Hot Air<\/a> posted his take on last night’s Vice-Presidential debate. The article focuses on Vice-President<\/a> Biden’s comments about the attack on the American Embassy<\/a> at Benghazi<\/a>. The Vice-President stated that neither he nor President Obama were aware that the Embassy at Benghazi had requested more security.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Vice President\u00a0Joseph Biden\u00a0speaks only for himself and President\u00a0Barack Obama, and neither man was aware that U.S. officials in Libya had asked the State Department<\/a> for more security before the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, a top White House<\/a> official told\u00a0The Cable.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden\u00a0has come under fire<\/a>\u00a0for saying at Thursday night\u2019s debate, \u201cWe weren\u2019t told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cable<\/em>\u00a0asked Deputy National Security Advisor<\/a> for Communications\u00a0Ben Rhodes\u00a0whether Biden was speaking for the entire Obama administration, including the State Department, which acknowledged receiving multiple requests for more Libya security in the months before the attacks. Rhodes said that Biden speaks only for himself and the president and neither of them knew about the requests at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I find that more disturbing than the possibility that he was lying. Isn’t it the job of the President to know that an American Embassy has requested more security? Was the President aware of the numerous attacks on the Embassy since June? The attack on the Embassy at Benghazi is a major blunder in President Obama’s foreign policy. It speaks of gross incompetence.<\/p>\n
