13 Benghazis Happened Under President Bush and Fox News Said Nothing - PolicyMic
They don't know, because the Republican mantra is...
"Vote Republican, because...#Benghazi!"
And they keep doing it.Liberals owned in their own thread again. I love the ones like this.
ZERO Ambassadors murdered or killed under either Bush, we would have to go back to President Carter's Ambassador in Afghanistan being murdered for another. Right before Carter lost an entire Embassy.
This is an Ambassador of the United States of America.
What was Obama's response? Is Obama trying to catch them "folks"?
Our Ambassador was murdered by Al Qaeda in Libya.
Obama was at that time acting as the Leader of the Military, literally. What did Obama do, what did he know, what was Obama's commands?
Obama's Ambassador to Libya was killed by a Military Organization in a Foreign Country.
That is extremely serious, it is almost like a 9/11, even happened on 9/11, exactly 11 years later, right after Obama brags about killing Osama.
Bush had the Clinton led 9/11, but since 9/11 nothing is worst than losing an Ambassador, at that its simple foreign policy decisions by Obama that caused the death of the Ambassador to Libya.
^^Gotta love the Race Card played here as well. You know how vapid you are? Just can't help yourself, can you. But thanks for another example of projection you on the left accuse the right of being which has NEVER been true.Well, yeah, but Bush is white.

Obama made a political calculation to lie about a terrorist attack leading up to the 2012 election. He had his senior staff lie for him and the Liberal media covered up for him as well
One Iraq happened under Bush, and that's a thousand Benghazis, and a thousand times as many lies.
The Left is positively terrified of Benghazi. Look at all the threads they've started about it. It's no big deal. Bush did it. Did I mention Bush did it?
No. Benghazi is unique. The first time a president went on national TV and lied about the circumstances of a terrorist attack that left 4 Americans dead in order to bolster his re-election chances.
The only question is why the Left is not outraged their government is lying to them.
Well, yeah, but Bush is white.
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.
One Iraq happened under Bush, and that's a thousand Benghazis, and a thousand times as many lies.
Start an Iraq thread, asshole.
