Headline from The Hill: Biden blames intelligence community for changing story about Libya attack

The Hill isn't falling for the Obama-Biden campaign's lies on the Libya tragedy. Here is the headline for the below story: Biden blames intelligence community for changing story about Libya attack.

Vice President Biden blamed intelligence officials for the administration's changing account of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, during Thursday night's debate with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

The Obama administration has been under fire for initially linking the attack on the U.S. Consulate to an anti-Islam video made in the U.S. before later acknowledging that that the attack was an act of terrorism, not a protest that turned violent.

Biden said the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, was repeating what intelligence sources had told her when she blamed the video as a “proximate cause” of the violence in an interview five days after the attack.

"The intelligence community told us that,” Biden said. "As they learned more facts about exactly what happened, they changed their assessment."
