Clinton said otherwise. Now, which would know better?
But keep dancing. I love how tea partiers have to run from the consequences of their crank philosophy.
Here's a concept: if you want better embassy security, PAY FOR IT!
No Clinton didn't say otherwise.....as she was totally mute on that specific. It was Joe Biden.....which is why you don't know what you are talking about. While looking for any deflection you can to get put out there.....as evidenced.
Vice President Joe Biden said Ryan is in no position to argue about diplomatic security, arguing that Ryan, in Congress, didn't provide all the embassy security funding that the Obama administration asked for. Biden also contended that the administration knew of no requests for more security at the Benghazi mission.
Statements:
Biden: "We weren't told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security."
Ryan: "There were requests for extra security. Those requests were not honored."
The facts:
On Wednesday, the State Department's former point man on security in Libya told the House Oversight Committee that he asked for additional security help for the Benghazi facility months before the attack, but was denied.
Various communications dating back a year asked for three to five diplomatic security agents, according to testimony at Wednesday's hearing. But Eric Nordstrom, the one-time regional security officer, said he verbally asked for 12 agents.
The request for 12 agents was rebuffed by the regional director of the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Nordstrom testified.
Conclusion: The GOP-led House did initially approve about $330 million less than what the administration requested, but in the final bill, passed with bipartisan support after adjustments by the Senate, put the amount a little closer to the administration's target.

I know it is difficult for the Left and that Democratic Underground to follow the History of facts. But do you think that Verbal Request just days before the attack can be got around? I doubt so very much.
Btw Next time Loudmouth Joe wants to step up to the Plate. Tell him to put on his Glasses.....the tri-focal ones. As he needs all the help he can get when trying to play Johnny Nash.....and singing that song about. I can see clearly now. :lamo
