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. A Taliban splinter group referred to as Al-Qanoon, or "The Law," claimed responsibility for the attacks that also injured 51 people.

Gunmen rode up on a motorbike to the U.S. consulate's security checkpoints and rained gunfire killing two Pakistani police officers. One gunman arrested by paramilitary officers was found to have several rounds of ammunition prepared for what could have been a far more devastating attack.

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.

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. The gunmen used grenades, automatic weapons, car bombs, and a truck bomb and killed four people and wounded 13 others. Condoleezza Rice, then Secretary of State praised the Syrians that defended the U.S. employees: "the Syrians reacted to this attack in a way that helped to secure our people, and we very much appreciate that."

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.

TA DA!!!!! Game, set and match!

sad clown; rant in bigger, bolder type; and announce you've "won"


the normal people here need a laugh

 

[bedowin62]

no Benghazis happened on bush's watch;

no ambassadors were killed; and Bush never lied about the attacks


libs are losers who lie to themselves

Why does it matter it was an ambassador? Are they some sort of special entity? All the people who died in embassies during Bush's regime are somehow lesser human beings?

well yes they are some sort of special entity you dork; they are ambassadors

 

[NYcarbineer]

It ain't what happened, it is what the spin was before and after it happened followed by the cover up.
As hard as the left tries they can just never polish their turds.
But they keep on trying and amazing some folks buy it.

And if spin were a major crime no administration would last a year. Maybe not even a month.

btw, let's not pretend for chrissakes that ANYTHING the Obama administration would have done around Benghazi would have not been SPUN by the rightwing propaganda machine into a negative.

Yes, Bush sucked.

Now lets compare Obama to Bush. Who smells worse?

To Bush's credit, he went into seclusion and now paints pictures because he is ashamed of running up the deficit, creating massive entitlements, and going to war abroad.

I bet when Barry gets out of office after doing the same things, he will be proud and boisterous about his legacy.

To me, that is the difference between them.

well yes they are some sort of special entity you dork; they are ambassadors

I see. So if only 3 people had died at Benghazi, and the ambassador had lived, this would be a non-story because their lives didn't matter.

Right?

That's irrelevant because there was no cover-up for political gain because there was no political gain to be had from covering anything up.

Of course there was. Even pundits on the left are now calling what happened political.

But that is just deflection on your part.

YOU can provide where Bush covered up the incident to protect his reelection bid...

Right?

Otherwise, there is no comparison between Bush and Obama and this thread is just like many leftist threads. Empty of thought and substance.

Here is the standard typical "conservative". You say you want a limited government, but are gung ho about going to war over seas.

It does not work that way. If you are going to reduce the size and scope of government, then you can't just make it bigger and more powerful in only certain areas that you like.

The truth of the matter is, the US has been in a myriad of conflicts since World War 2. The only thing that has changed, is that now the US no longer declares war, they just start shoot'in. Hell, they don't even notify Congress any longer.

Why does it matter it was an ambassador? Are they some sort of special entity? All the people who died in embassies during Bush's regime are somehow lesser human beings?

well yes they are some sort of special entity you dork; they are ambassadors

I see. So if only 3 people had died at Benghazi, and the ambassador had lived, this would be a non-story because their lives didn't matter.

Jesus, what the fuck is wrong with you?

lol; isnt it just like a loser to read something that isnt there?

Bush waited until December of 2005 to admit there were no WMD's.

To think that there is nothing political concerning what a politician does or says means that the politician is a buffoon. Considering this, perhaps "W" had not political motive for saying what he did when he did.

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

First, i would say that you need to get a better grasp of what it means when someone says "Limited Government". You clearly lack an understanding of what the phrase means.

The rest of you blabber has what, exactly, to do with a failed comparison of attacks against American assets that were covered up for political reasons by this president, but not the last president?

[bedowin62]

You retards fucking ran Mcsame & Romoney of course you lost . No nothing about Benghazi would have changed that fact nothing .
