13 Benghazis Happened Under President Bush

Oh look... an idiot.
There are lots of warnings about lots of different attacks a day. Just ask Clinton. He was given the same warnings.

And Clinton actually took them seriously.

To bad the Republicans in Congress were more interested in bringing down his presidency then protecting America.

Now why does that sound so familiar!

:lol:

Wag The Dog.

Yup.

That's what they were calling Clinton's efforts to get Bin Laden!

Thanks man!

13 Benghazis Happened Under President Bush and
Fox News Said Nothing


Check out the timeline of attacks on embassies and consulate compounds during Bush's tenure that received no similar fine-toothed-combing from Fox.

1. Jan. 22, 2002: Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami Attacks Indian U.S. Consulate
Five policemen were killed and 16 injured in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta because of an attack on the U.S. consulate by militant group Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami.

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.

3. Oct. 12, 2002: String Of Bali Bombings Included U.S. Consulate
The U.S. consulate in Indonesia was attacked as part of the 'Bali bombings' on a devastating October night. While there were no fatalities at the consulate, seven Americans were among the 202 dead at the coordinated blasts inside a bar and outside a nightclub.

5. May 12, 2003: 36 People Including 9 Americans Die After Terrorists Storm U.S. Compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
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. This was the most devastating attack on a State Department employees to occur under Bush. The Saudi government cracked down on terrorists group but that did not prevent another attack to occur a year later in Jeddah.

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.

7. Dec. 6, 2004: Five Staff and Four Security Guards Die in U.S. consulate attack in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Gunmen fought their way into the complex, reportedly taking 18 staff and visa applicants hostage for a short time before Saudi security forces stormed the building. The final dead counted four security guards, five staff, and three attackers. No Americans were among the dead.

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.

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

Plenty of attacks have happened against Americans by savage Islamists overseas. No one is blaming Obama, or any other President for that.

Difference is, Obama lied about it, then tried to cover up his lies about it.

Not that we expect you liberal blowhards to give a shit.
 
Yup.

That's what they were calling Clinton's efforts to get Bin Laden!

Is that why Sandy Berger got caught stuffing classified documents down his trousers? To protect the Republicans that prevented Clinton from getting Bin Laden?

Have you been smoking crack again?

1. By impeaching him.
2. By not certifying Bin Laden was a threat and cutting funding for operations to get him.
3. Isn't crack your drug of choice?
 
Iraq is [SIC] one of seven countries that have been designated by the Secretary of State as state sponsors of international terrorism. UNSCR 687 prohibits Saddam Hussein from committing or supporting terrorism, or allowing terrorist organizations to operate in Iraq. Saddam continues to violate these UNSCR provisions.

In 1993, the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) directed and pursued an attempt to assassinate, through the use of a powerful car bomb, former U.S. President George Bush and the Emir of Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities thwarted the terrorist plot and arrested 16 suspects, led by two Iraqi nationals.

Iraq shelters terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians.

Iraq shelters several prominent Palestinian terrorist organizations in Baghdad, including the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), which is known for aerial attacks against Israel and is headed by Abu Abbas, who carried out the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer.

Iraq shelters the Abu Nidal Organization, an international terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks in twenty countries, killing or injuring almost 900 people. Targets have included the United States and several other Western nations. Each of these groups have offices in Baghdad and receive training, logistical assistance, and financial aid from the government of Iraq.

In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment. Payments are made on a strict scale, with different amounts for wounds, disablement, death as a "martyr" and $25,000 for a suicide bomber. Mahmoud Besharat, a representative on the West Bank who is handing out to families the money from Saddam, said, "You would have to ask President Saddam why he is being so generous. But he is a revolutionary and he wants this distinguished struggle, the intifada, to continue."

Former Iraqi military officers have described a highly secret terrorist training facility in Iraq known as Salman Pak, where both Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs receive training on hijacking planes and trains, planting explosives in cities, sabotage, and assassinations.


THE WHITEHOUSE: Saddam Hussein's Refusal to Account for Gulf War Prisoners

Thanks for confirming what I said -- Hussein's rewards for terrorist attacks were to those who attacked Israel. It had nothing to do with America.
IMO your interpretation is far too narrow.

Saddam’s aim was anything western, and Palestine was where he could constantly do the most damage with the most willing of tools. The bolded text show how far his reach was as a purveyor and sponsor of terrorism.

If you believe that, show where Hussein handed $25,000 reward money to terrorists other than those involved in attacks against Israel.

:eusa_whistle:

He was caught "stuffing classified documents down his trousers" because investigators set up an impossible task for him.

He had to testify about material that he hadn't reviewed in over a year and had to memorize the documents. Bush had classified everything..down to the toilet paper he was using.

But hey..what the heck..makes for a good conservative talking point.

It wasn't Clinton that failed. It was Bush.

Republicans were hauling in the opposition to mitigate that failure.

Funny they didn't haul in his father, who funded and trained Bin Laden..isn't it?
 
Yup.

While Clinton was president, he warned us that terrorists were planning to attack us in the U.S. ... brain-dead rightards summarily dismissed him for making such claims for political gains. Just think how much stronger this nation would be if the right would work with the left instead of trying to sabotage Democrats at every turn.

Actually that's not true.

Romney, while the attack was ongoing, blamed Obama. It was the first time in history a Candidate for the Presidency of the United States has done that.

To distract attention from that, the "investigation" was started. And it's kept up ever since.
 
Oh look... an idiot.

:lol:

Wag The Dog.

Yeah, that's what the loony right cried in early 1999 (i.e., before 9/11) when Clinton warned of a terrorist attack inside the U.S.

Wag the Dog

Note the part which reads ....

Clinton predicted on January 22 that it is "highly likely" that a terrorist group will attack on American soil within the next few years. He is using this risk as the excuse to create a Domestic Terrorism Team headed by a military "commander in chief," with a $2.8 billion budget. We should not underestimate the deceit and deviousness of Clinton's plans to use aggressive presidential actions to wipe out public memory of his impeachment trial.

His response was to try and kill Bin Laden. The Republican response was to thwart that effort, because they had one interest. Impeaching Clinton.

They got what they wanted.

And we got 9/11.

Thanks Republicans!

While Clinton was president, he warned us that terrorists were planning to attack us in the U.S. ... brain-dead rightards summarily dismissed him for making such claims for political gains. Just think how much stronger this nation would be if the right would work with the left instead of trying to sabotage Democrats at every turn.

Where did Clinton wanr us about this?
Clinton had at least one terrorist attack on US soil. What was his response? Yeah, not much. Clinton's poor policies towards terrorism, treating it like a police matter, led directly to 9/11.
Clinton had more Benghazis than Obama.

Again horseshit.

You've been shown that it was Republicans thwarting Clinton's efforts.

The proof is also in the pudding.

Bush, who had all the resources of the US at his fingertips did not get Bin Laden, opting instead to get Saddam Hussein.

Obama, unconstrained by Congress because of the AUMF..got Bin Laden.

See how that works?

I thought the Republicans were thwarting Obama? You guys need to get your fantasies straight.
There were no attacks on America after 9/11 under Bush. There were numerous attacks under Obama. THe Muslims openly laugh at Obama.

You are too stupid for words. You should have seen my post after the one that you responded to. It answered your stupid question. February 22nd, 1999, Clinton said terrorists wanted to attack inside the United States.

rightards screamed, "wag the dog!!"

Just think how much greater this nation would be if you rightards invested into working for America even a fraction of the energy you assholes expend trying to undermine it.
