Biden Throws Intelligence Community Under the Bus

Biden Throws Intelligence Community Under the Bus Danville, Kentucky Among the many charges and countercharges at the vice presidential debate here Thursday, two points from Vice President Joe Biden stand out. First, Biden blamed the intelligence community for the administration’s confusing public explanations of the 9/11 anniversary attack in Benghazi, Libya. Moderator Martha Raddatz asked Biden directly why administration spokesman “were talking about protests” in Benghazi. “When people in the consulate first saw armed men attacking with guns, there were no protesters. Why did that go on?” “Because that was exactly what we were told by the intelligence community,” Biden said. “The intelligence community told us that. As they learned more facts about exactly what happened, they changed their assessment.”
