Saw this on Facebook, a liberal responding to the Benghazi questions. Anyone seen this too?
To all Benghazi theorists.....Seven U.S. Embassies And Consulates Were Attacked Under George W. Bush.......2002: U.S. Consulate In Karachi, Pakistan, Attacked; 10 Killed, 51 Injured;2004: U.S. Embassy Bombed In Uzbekistan;2004: Gunmen Stormed U.S. Consulate In Saudi Arabia;2006: Armed Men Attacked U.S. Embassy In Syria;2007: Grenade Launched Into U.S. Embassy In Athens;2007:2008: Rioters Set Fire To U.S. Embassy In Serbia;2008: Ten People Killed In Bombings At U.S. Embassy In Yemen......and on whose watch was 9/11?
Terrorists hit embassies all the time.
We don’t always claim it wasn’t terrorists. And we don’t always leave our men to die and order every possible rescue effort to “stand down”.
It wasn’t the attack. It was the torrent of lies after the attack.
Another great one.
Oh yeah, that was it.
I’m sure Bush is devastated over what has become in fallujah.
Ignoring their non responses isn’t good enough for our side. We need to engage and blow them away - even argumentarily.
The track record of attacks on our embassies just makes the administration’s failure to heed warnings even more despicable.
This too is a great response.
In doing so, they have become true heroes, not just saving those loves, but helping to expose the non response. We were actively hanging our station out to dry and we might never had known if not for the selflessness of these two ,em, who messed up the WH and SD narrative!
Lives, not loves, and men.
Sorry for the errors.
Bullshit. GWB never said, inferred, implied, suggested or anything similar, that the Iraq war was over.
Take that line of crap and shove it.
And it is apparent that you didn't like Bush.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for informing at least a few victims of MSM perfidy, that Pres. Bush did NOT proclaim that the mission of the U. S. in Iraq had been accomplished at the time of his greatly appreciated visit to the aircraft carrier.
The carrier command was celebrating the successful achievement of its mission in that conflict.
.................. they had a banner saying “mission complete”.
That was the one where he co-piloted the training jet out to the aircraft carrier...................
Actually, I believe that at that point the war was winding down, and we had the support of the Iraqi civilian.
Then Lyndee Englund, and Karpinski came up with humiliating photos at Al Garib prison, and the locals realized that they were being hoodwinked by the Americans, being thought of as a bunch of schmuck losers!
After that, no more statue teardowns, no more neighborhood applause, and another six or so years of street war.
No... Bush never said that. His prep people did allow a banner saying "Mission Accomplished" to shown in the background as W was giving a speech to a bunch of soldiers who were RETURNING from Iraq... soldiers who's "mission WAS accomplished".
But, he NEVER said the war was "over". It's hard to keep the FACTS straight, when so many lie about it. But, some of us remember.
They didn’t take away security; nobody was killed.
What is missing is a detailed listing of the number of annual TV minutes that the Leftstream Media spent on each of the Military attacks, including Benghazi.
I was already corrected. No, I didn’t like Bush but he is a decent USA loving man, and did mostly good things as CiC. And I’d sure love him in the WH today if I could turn back time - sorry Cher.
Well, to be fair, there were people killed in some of those attacks.
