On Friday, the Washington Free Beacon<\/a> posted a story specifically listing the lies Vice-President Joe Biden<\/a> told during the Vice-Presidential<\/a> debate this week. I will attempt to summarize.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t told they wanted more security there,\u201d Biden said in response to a charge from Republican opponent Paul Ryan. \u201cWe did not know they wanted more security.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The White House now claims<\/a> Biden only meant that neither he nor President Obama<\/a> was personally informed of the security requests,\u00a0but press secretary Jay Carney<\/a> on Friday awkwardly declined to say whether or not they ever\u00a0were briefed on the matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is bad enough that the Vice-President might have lied–it is worse if he and the President were not made aware of the problem after the numerous previous attacks on the Embassy.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

Ryan and House Republicans \u201ccut\u201d embassy security by $300 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

…A senior State Department official who testified before Congress earlier this week said budget considerations were not a factor<\/a> in the decision to deny the U.S. Libyan delegation\u2019s repeated requests for additional security.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wouldn’t the Vice-President have had some idea of the Congressional testimony–it wasn’t even a good lie.<\/p>\n

The next lie:<\/p>\n

The Obama administration has \u201cdecimated\u201d al Qaeda.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Lara Logan<\/a>, chief foreign correspondent for CBS News, recently described the Obama administration\u2019s declaration of victory in the war on terror a \u201cmajor lie<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next lie:<\/p>\n

Obama doesn\u2019t want to raise taxes on families and small businesses earning less than $1 million a year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…President Obama has often stated his desire to raise taxes<\/a> on all individuals and small businesses earning at least $200,000 a year, a proposal he included in his most recent budget resolution. Doing so is estimated to raise about $800 billion in new revenue over the next decade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next lie:<\/p>\n

Syria is five times the size of Libya.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Check you Atlas. I have no words.<\/p>\n

The next lie:<\/p>\n

Obama has ordered all American troops out of Afghanistan by 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

…However, the administration has discussed maintaining an \u201cenduring presence<\/a>\u201d\u2014in the words of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta\u2014in Afghanistan beyond 2104. That would likely consist of somewhere between 10,000 to 15,000 military advisers<\/a> and special forces troops, contingent on an agreement with the government of Afghanistan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always read the fine print.<\/p>\n

The next lie:<\/p>\n

The federal government is not forcing Catholic institutions to cover contraception.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Yet 35 lawsuits\u00a0against<\/a>\u00a0the HHS mandate, which forces insurance companies to cover contraception for free, are pending right now, including many from Catholic universities. The\u00a0Becket Fund<\/a>\u00a0pointed out this fact in an email this morning objecting to the Vice President\u2019s comments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It depends on the meaning of the words Catholic institution.<\/p>\n

The next lie:<\/p>\n

Biden voted against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

…Then-Sen. Biden voted<\/a> for the Afghanistan resolution on Sept. 14, 2001, authorizing<\/a> \u201cthe use of United States Armed Forces<\/a> against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on Oct. 11, 2002, Biden voted<\/a> for a resolution authorizing unilateral military action in Iraq.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden did, however, vote against<\/a> the First Gulf War<\/a> to repel the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait<\/a>, arguing that the U.S. had no \u201cvital interests\u201d in the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally speaking, Vice-President Biden has been wrong on almost every statement he has ever made regarding foreign policy.<\/p>\n

And that is the Washington Free Beacon’s list of lies Vice-President Biden told during the debate this week. For further details, follow the link above to the Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n
