13 Benghazis Happened Under President Bush

[boedicca]

obama didnt have to sign anything that cut embassy security

and that wasnt a factor

libs are just idiots; they dont understand they are in charge. embassy security was exactly what obama wanted it to be

libs are losers who lie to themselves

Had Obama know before that the embassy was going to be attacked he would have had more security. There was adequate security and people were evacuated and lives were saved. Every one but the four had been evacuated and there is no evidence that more security could have got there and that it would have saved the four. Plus Obama do not call all the shots. He had info from the CIA and he acted on that. If any heads should roll it should began with the CIA.

There is a very simple way to resolve this. Obama should make the Intel Briefs he was given publicly available.

2. June 14, 2002: Suicide Car-Bomb Outside U.S. Consulate in Karachi
Twelve people died in an attack outside the U.S. consulate in Karachi when militants exploded a car bomb.

The State Department had warned of a potential strike against the Saudi days before gunmen infiltrated the Al Hamra Oasis Village and two others killing 36 people and wounding 160.

6. July 30, 2004: Islamist Attacks U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Two Uzbek security guards died in a bombing on the U.S. embassy in Tashkent days. Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan claimed responsibility of the bombing after 15 alleged Islamist militants went on trial.

8. March 2, 2006: Third Attack on Karachi U.S. Consulate Killed U.S. Diplomat
U.S. Diplomat David Foy was specifically targeted in the third attack in as many years on the Karachi consulate compound. He was one of four people killed. The bomb occurred two days before President Bush was to visit Pakistan and also targeted the Marriot hotel in an upscale neighborhood of Karachi.

This was a planned and coordinated attack that nobody covered as more than a news item.

9. Sept. 12, 2006: Four Gunmen Stormed the U.S. compound in Damascus, Syria
Gunmen yelling "Allahu akbar " - "God is great" - fired on Syrian security officers guarding the U.S. embassy.

10. Jan. 12, 2007: Greek Terrorists Fired a Rocket-Propelled Grenade at the U.S. Embassy
An antitank grenade was fired into the empty consulate building by leftist terrorist group Revolutionary Struggle angry at American foreign policy. Even though nobody was in the building at the time the attack was a blatant breach of security and showed enormous security loopholes.

11. March 18, 2008: A Mortar is Fired at the U.S. Embassy in Sana’a, Yemen
Similar to the Greek attack, a mortar was fired at the U.S. embassy building killing 19 people and injuring 16. This was the second attempt at a similar mortar attack on the embassy. The first one missed the embassy and hit a girls' school next door.

Where's Guno? Tired of him already?

 

[TemplarKormac]

LOL.

PolicyMic.

No. They are so far to the left they do a complete circle. Can you guys please quit repeating this already debunked myth? In all of those attacks combined, only 4 Americans were killed. Honestly.

 

[Freewill]

Liberals that make the argument think themselves smart by posting what some other flying monkey posted. Here is a site that lists the attacks on American diplomatic facilities. To listen to the left wing flying monkeys one would think there was only one during Obama, Benghazi. But as usual the facts are quite different. On this site they list 5 since Obama yet only one has sparked debate, why?

For one Bush didn't lie about any of the attacks like Obama did and had a woman do for him. Why do people lie? Because the truth is damning.

Second, Americans were killed at Benghazi, unlike the other attacks.

Third they died needlessly. For Stevens to be allowed into a country we just bombed the crap out of was idiocy.

This line of argument from the flying monkeys is in reality quite laughable.

Oh yes, Obama killed OBL but has no culpability at Benghazi. Quite the job he has. He can create any clusterfuk he wants and it is always someone else's fault. But double tap an unarmed man, that's all Obama.

 

[The T]

The sin of benghazi has been the aftermath

That's not what you all are always saying. You go on and on about how they 'let' it happen. Part of your complaints are about how the aftermath was handled, but at least as much of your complaints are you all saying they didn't prevent it.

They DID let it happen. They knew. WHY didn't the Hildebeast give them more security when it was requested. WHO gave the military the order to stand down and NOT respond?

IDIOT

 

[NYcarbineer]

I just recalled what the warmongering rightwing inbreds used to say about Iraq, when the casualties counts in that disaster were brought up;

they used to say 'hey, comon, more people get killed in our inner city every night than that! What's the big deal????'

I don't suppose we could use that argument in response to FOUR deaths in Libya, could we?

Actually, that LYING bastard did everything BUT keep us safe.

typical left-wing moron. believing it is in America's interest to project power globally isnt being "gung-ho" about going to war

and it isnt up to you to lecture others that they are being contradictory for wanting limited govenment but also wanting a strong military. Conservatives are for limited government; not no government. so it DOES "WORK THAT WAY" because they have the right to their opinions as to what should be limited and what shouldnt

AKA "Everything is A OK when REPUBLICANS spend like drunken sailors. Spend on things we like...OR ELSE!!"

Is the argument a terror attack, or the lies afterward to protect the president in the upcoming election? I think people have lost sight of the issue.

Did Bush blame it on some unknown video producer in L.A.? Did Bush cover them up to get elected?

No
No
Apples to Oranges.

Bush blamed Saddam Hussein for 9/11 and used that lie to get support for the Iraq disaster.

Even with all the video we have, Republicans will still call that a lie.

13 Benghazis Happened Under President Bush and Fox News Said Nothing - PolicyMic

Its a great thing George Bush was not a homosexual pedophile, I would hate to see the Democrats using that as a defense, "but Bush did it first"

Obama lost Ambassador Stevens on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 in Libya, a country we have determined to be a terrorist state. Ronald Reagan sent missiles in, killed Qaddafi's daughter. Obama sends in an openly gay male ambassador who is named after Jesus Christ who gets slaughtered on the 11th anniversary 9/11.

11-9/11 Islamic day of Victory

Democrats of course wish to talk about George Bush while we are literally losing the war, our guys are getting killed because Obama wants to stutter (literally stutter) something about Bush.

Not a single one of those happened on 9-11 and none were obfuscated with the aid of the media for the purpose of enhancing reelection chances.
Morons.

Blah blah blah. Good god. Do you people even listen to yourselves?

There it is..... the "Blah blah blah" post. I do believe that is your biggest problem.

You should listen to yourself....of course, all you'd hear is "Blah blah blah..." but still, it would be good practice.

You know what I love about America...no one is going to shoot you for proving your ignorance. And you seem to be enjoying yours. What a country!!
