I can't believe that we didn't think of this in the early 2000's. We could have gone on endlessly about each of the 3000 people lost to terrorism under Bush's watch. That would have been very useful to solving all of the problems we had back then.
We could have gone on endlessly about each of the ten attacks on our overseas missions under Bush. We could have second guessed each one, week after week, month after month, year after year. We could have moaned and moaned about each of the lives lost. We could have demanded the statements of the survivors, and the autopsy of the diplomat that was killed in one of them.
What's that you say? You didn't know a diplomat was killed during one of those attacks? How come you don't know that?
Hmmmm...
We could have had hearings, and made the Secretary of State come and testify each time, and various military officials, and the head of the CIA. We could have pounded desks, concocted all sorts of made up bullshit, and demanded to know what Bush was doing minute by minute before, during, and after each attack.
Maybe that would have prevented all of the ones which followed.
You know when dealt two threes don't double down.
there have been 8 foreign services personel killed since 1950, other then Stevens here are the other seven:
Ambassador Laurence Adolph Steinhardt (1892–1950) was serving as the US envoy to Canada when he was killed in a plane crash on
March 28, 1950 near Ontario, while en route to Washington DC.
Ambassador John Gordon Mein (1913-1968) was the first United States ambassador to be assassinated while serving in office. He was shot dead by Guatemalan rebels on August 28,
1968.
Cleo Allen Noel (1918 –1973), the United States ambassador to Sudan, was murdered by Palestinian attackers during the 1973 attack on the Saudi embassy in Khartoum. Ambassador Noel was attending a function at the Saudi embassy in Khartoum.
Ambassador Rodger Davies (1921-74), the United States Ambassador to Cyprus, was accidentally killed in gunfire at the hands of a sniper, during a demonstration at the US embassy by Greek Cypriots. Ambassador Francis Meloy Junior (1917-76) was a US diplomat
assassinated in Beirut in 1976. On June 16, 1976, Meloy, the incoming US envoy to Lebanon, and Robert Waring, the US Economic Counselor, were kidnapped along with their local driver Zuhair Moghrabi by the members of the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.”
Ambassador Adolph “Spike” Dubs (1920-1979) was the United States Ambassador to Afghanistan from May 13, 1978, until his death in 1979. He was killed in an exchange of fire after being abducted on
February 14, 1979 during the reign of Hafizullah Amin.
His kidnappers, demanding the release of an imprisoned politician Badruddin Bahes, had held him hostage in Room 117 of the Kabul Hotel (now called Kabul Serena Hotel).
Arnold Lewis Raphel (the 18th US Ambassador to Pakistan) was killed when the plane of the then Pakistani President General Zia-ul-Haq had mysteriously crashed near Bahawalpur on
August 17, 1988.
Ambassador Raphel and Brigadier General Herbert Wassom (Chief of the US military group in Pakistan) were aboard the ill-fated C-130 aircraft that was also carrying General Zia-ul-Haq, the then ISI Chief General Akhtar Abdur Rehman and various senior Pakistan Army officials.
So in fact NONE were killed during Bush's term. And as I already told you, again, there have been more attacks under Obama then under Bush.
