TWELVE U.S. Embassy Attacks During George W. Bush Administration

[Lakhota]

By David Edwards

As The Daily Dolt noted on Thursday, terrorists attacked U.S. embassies 12 times while President George W. Bush was in office. At least eight of those attacks occurred while Rumsfeld was serving as secretary of Defense.

Including the attacks on Tuesday, U.S. embassies have come under attack twice since Obama took office.

Actually, there were twelve terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities abroad during George W. Bush’s tenure — the most of any president in history — and eight of those occurred while Donald Rumsfeld was in office.

You watch your ass.

At least Chief Jay Strongbow had a real job, other than that of spamming links to far leftist crackpot websites and blogs all day long.

and that has what to do with what? You stated there were 12 under Bush in 8 years. I stated there have been 6 in less than 2 under Obama, 3 of which have been in 3 days.
Now, you started this, not me.

 

[GoneBezerk]

I knew one of the idiots would start this thread.....trying to downplay Obamination getting an Ambassador KILLED.

Oh, did you also know Buuuuuuuuush had a DUI decades ago???? Huh? Did YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU?

No, don't look over there at Obamination.....look over there at Buuuuuuuuuuuush!

 

[Lakhota]

It's a stretch to even count 2 under Obama up until recent attacks. Regarding Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina - it was only one man firing shots. Kabul doesn't count since it's a war zone.

Oh, I 've got it, you now are setting different criteria. Why is it when someone loses their own ridiculous point they then try to change the parameters? You lost. Get over it.
