Well, well...
Another Clinton tried to let Bin Laden go... and then lied about it.
Biden contradicts Clinton account of bin Laden raid – and his own
Vice President Biden on Tuesday seemed to contradict Hillary Clinton's account of the 2011 raid that killed Usama bin Laden, while also changing his own account of the advice he gave President Obama before the commander-in-chief approved the risky, and ultimately successful, mission.
Biden spoke about the raid at a forum honoring former Vice President Walter Mondale. Without naming Clinton, he effectively contradicted her claim that she firmly backed the raid from the beginning. In his remarks, he said that only then-CIA chief Leon Panetta was in favor.
“There were only two people who were definitive and were absolutely certain. Leon Panetta said go, [Defense Secretary] Bob Gates … said don’t go. Others were at 59-41,” Biden said.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner and former secretary of state, has claimed she recommended to Obama that he "go ahead," while his advisers "were split."
