17 U.S. EMBASSIES ATTACKED, 148 KILLED, HUNDREDS INJURED

FOUR EMBASSY ATTACKS HAPPENED UNDER RONALD REAGAN, BUT WE ARE NOT COUNTING THE ATTACK ON THE BEIRUT MARINES COMPOUND DURING HIS TERMS WHICH  KILLED ALMOST 250:     
  
1983: Bomb Blast At U.S. Embassy In Beirut Killed More Than 60, Including 17 Americans. 

1983: Car Bomb Damaged U.S. Embassy In Kuwait; 2 KILLED, 20 INJURED. 

1984: Twenty-two people were killed (two of them American) and seventy were wounded when a van loaded with four hundred pounds of explosives exploded in front of the U.S. Embassy annex in Awkar, Lebanon. 

Islamic Jihad (code name of Hezbollah) claimed responsibility for the bombing in a call to the media.

1987: Car Bomb Exploded Outside Back Gate, U.S. Embassy In Italy.


13 UNDER GEORGE W. BUSH


Attacks on our diplomatic missions in Iraq are not included, nor is the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center attack. 
[UPDATE: THE 2002 ATTACK ON THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN LIMA, PERU WITH 9 KILLED, SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS LIST, MAKING THE COUNT FOR BUSH, JUNIOR 14.] 


2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen attacked the U.S. Consulate. 5 killed.
2002: U.S. Consulate In Karachi, Pakistan, Attacked; 10 KILLED, 51 INJURED.
2002: Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed. No fatalities.
2003: Islamabad, Pakistan. Gunmen fire on the U.S. Embassy. 2 killed.
 
2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al-Qaida terrorists storm the diplomatic compound. 36 killed, including 9 Americans.
2004: U.S. Embassy Bombed In Uzbekistan; 2 KILLED, 9 INJURED

2004: Gunmen Stormed U.S. Consulate In Jedda,Saudi Arabia; 9 KILLED
2006: Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate. 4 killed including U.S. diplomat David Foy.
2006: Armed Men Attacked U.S. Embassy In Syria; 4 KILLED, 13 INJURED
2007: Grenade Launched Into U.S. Embassy In Athens; The building was empty 
2008: Rioters Set Fire To U.S. Embassy In Serbia; NO REPORT OF DEATHS 
2008: 10 Killed In Bombings At U.S. Embassy In Yemen. 


NO REPUBLICAN OUTCRIES,
NO SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEES,
NO FOX NEWS RABID RAVES, 

NO MAINSTREAM MEDIA DAMNING EITHER BUSH OR REAGAN.


OVER 300 LIVES LOST, INCLUDING A CIA STATION CHIEF DURING REAGAN'S TERM, BILL BUCKLEY, WHO WAS HORRIBLY TORTURED AND THEN BRUTALLY KILLED, AND ALSO INCLUDING AN AMERICAN DIPLOMAT UNDER BUSH, Jr, DAVID FOY, ALL WITHOUT SENATE INVESTIGATIONS...NOT A ONE!

NO STATE DEPARTMENT HEAD WAS EVER CALLED TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS, NOR WERE RECORDS DEMANDED FROM EITHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, NOR WAS THERE A CALL FOR THE  PRIVATE EMAILS OF COLIN POWELL, WHO FREELY ADMITS HE USED PRIVATE EMAILS, NOT ONCE.

AS I SAID, WE LOST ABOUT 250 FINE MARINES ON REAGAN'S WATCH AFTER CONGRESS HAD CALLED FOR BETTER SECURITY AT U.S. INSTALLATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
REAGAN ADMITTED THOSE SECURITY MEASURES HAD NOT BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND COMPARED THE FAILURE TO A KITCHEN REMODELING JOB THAT RAN BEHIND SCHEDULE.
HE WAS NOT CRUCIFIED BY THE MEDIA FOR EITHER THE HUGE LOSS OF LIFE, NOR FOR MAKING SUCH A CRASS COMPARISON.

13 EMBASSY ATTACKS DURING BUSH Jr's TIME IN OFFICE, NOT COUNTING THOSE IN IRAQ, BUT NO MAJOR CHANGES IN SECURITY STILL, AND NO MEDIA CRUCIFIXION FOR HIM OR HIS CABINET MEMBERS EITHER.

GET THE PICTURE?
IF EMBASSIES ARE ATTACKED AND AMERICANS DIE UNDER A WHITE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, THAT IS A-OK.
NO OUTCRIES, NO SENATE COMMITTEES, NO JOHN BO(EH)NER SCREAMING FOR 'THE TRUTH', NOR WAS EITHER REPUBLICAN WHITE HOUSE ASKED TO GIVE UP EMAILS, CABLES, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO PROVE THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT.


AMERICANS BLAMED THE KILLERS, LEFT IT AT THAT.


NO ONE SUGGESTED EITHER REAGAN OR BABY BUSH WERE LYING.
NO ONE.



TURNS OUT BOTH THOSE PRESIDENTS WERE TWO OF THE BIGGEST LIARS WE'VE EVER HAD IN THE OVAL OFFICE!


BUT THEN OBAMA STILL HAS 2 YEARS TO PLAY CATCH-UP ...
