13 Benghazis That Occurred on Bush's Watch Without a Peep from Fox News

Which ones had the administration propagate false narratives to the public for political cover?

by ZVUGKTUBM Today at 2:35 pm
I guess these "Benghazis" don't count in the mind of your average wingnut..... Or, they will shift the blame for them on someone else.... What's that called? SIN?
-----
You can't even copy correctly and that is a primary grade skill. No, a "Benghazi" is a major cover up of one of these attacks trying to blame shift piss poor foreign policy on a video and them lying about it for now YEARS.

If we had Al Qaeda on the run, a the COWH claimed just weeks before, why are they all of a sudden emboldened enough to attack out consulate and kill the ambassador and his security team? Hmmmmm. It's all been lies, lies covered by so many kiss, more lies can't be told because the web of deceit weaved is too sordid to even make it seem logical.

Impeach !!!!

It's going down !!!!! Tiiiimber!

What false narrative.....there was a terrorist attack and demonstrations over the video.....it would be equally false if a person did not take into account the demonstrations and those who were there for the same, as it would be false if the President had said in the Rose Garden that this attack was because of the demonstration......he did not.....he said it was terrorism.

There cannot be a false narrative when it was partially true as to the demonstration and the terrorist plan......both contributed to the chaos and sad tragedy.

Two simultaneous posts which ask the same question......what false narrative......do you think it is by accident that a thinking human being sees no false narrative. I would agree that the narrative attempted to stress one of the two components of the tragedy.....but false.....hardly.

Do I think it was an accident? No... lmao. The only thing I'm not sure about is which one of you it matters to less.

Here's your chance boys... fuck that football. Which of you is the most faithful?

Sal had thru not obfuscated the entire process you would be right, but in an effort to win an election and stay in power, they lied. Nuf said.

If you dance u pay the band and if you play you pay
The man.

Time to pay.

What football?

This was a tragic failure of intelligence and security.

Both Obama and Clinton bear some responsibility for those failures along with a host of others.

That's the angle y'all should've taken.

You could of wailed and gnashed your teeth all you wanted, and no one could dispute that verdict.

But, this grand conspiracy and coverup nonsense ...

... it just makes you look delusional and stupid.

That's all they should've done... acknowledged the failure and assure us that the incompetence is remedied.

That probably should've included firing hillary.

Ask poster Markle. He blames 911 on Clinton......    

Now, if 911 had happened on Obama's watch, those wingnuts would be having a field day with their accusations and conspiracies, would they not?

Interesting Article. Why did Bush allow so many attacks on American diplomatic interests while he was President, and why were so many Americans killed?

How many Americans were killed at those attacks. Come on, list each attack and the number of Americans killed. Also follow up with what the action was by America.

As you know, this was the first fatal attack on an American Ambassador in over 30 years.

What has President Barack Hussein Obama except cover up until he could get through the election without a scandal showing he was WRONG.

You're a curious individual. EVEN the facts from the White House don't claim that the film, which no one has seen, had anything to do with Benghazi. Yet, with nothing else to grasp onto, 2seaoat.

President Barack Hussein Obama did NOT say the attack was due to a concerted terrorist attack on Benghazi. Even the White House doesn't make that claim, then President Obama told the UN TWO WEEKS LATER the attack was due to a film. After Hillary Clinton said it was a film and after Susan Rice said, on FIVE Sunday TV news shows that the attack was due to a film.

2seaoat wrote:12 Americans die on repeat attacks when there were REAL issues with security, and not one congressional hearing or story on Fox about culpability........could it be people of class seldom leverage death for political gain, or could it be that chit happens at our locations around the world.....?

Which was an American Ambassador?

I know you don't bother to check FACTS from your beloved DailyKOS...but you really should.

Here are the facts from your "misinformation" piece. Read carefully.
The FACTS about 2seaoats, so called 13 Benghazi attacks. Not a single American Ambassador killed ALONG with the actions taken by the administration of PRESIDENT GEORGE WALKER BUSH AND news releases from who? Why FOX NEWS.

NONE were blamed on a phony movie, blame was placed where it belonged on Al-QAEDA who we were attacking AND whom President Barack Hussein Obama said were beaten, on their heels and on the run just before the REAL Benghazi.

From my good friend 2seaoats, although he posted, AGAIN, shall we say...misinformation.

February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed.
Facts: February 2003 shooting
On February 28, 2003, gunmen killed two police officers and wounded five other officers and a civilian in front of the consulate. The attack was conducted from motorcycles, and was deliberately aimed at the paramilitary rangers who have taken over guard duties at the consulate from the Pakistani police

May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al Qaeda terrorists storm the diplomatic compound, killing 36 people including nine Americans. The assailants committed suicide by detonating a truck bomb.

Late on 12 May, several vehicles containing heavily armed assault teams arrived at three Riyadh compounds: The Dorrat Al Jadawel, a compound owned by the London-based MBI International and Partners subsidiary Jadawel International, the Al Hamra Oasis Village, and the Vinnell Corporation Compound, a compound occupied by a Virginia-based defense contractor that was training the Saudi National Guard. All contained large numbers of Americans, Westerners, and non-Saudi Arabs.

Around 11:15 pm, several gunmen infiltrated the Al Hamra Oasis Village, a compound inhabited mainly by Westerners. They killed the guards at the gate and then opened fire at residents, killing both Westerners and Saudis and then detonated a car bomb. The next compound attacked was the Jadawel compound, though the assailants did not manage to get in the compound. They detonated a truck bomb outside the compound and killed themselves.

The final target was the Vinnell compound. The terrorists shot the Saudi soldiers guarding the compound and then detonated a truck bomb in front of a residential high-rise. Gunmen also fired at residents inside the compound.

The then US President George W. Bush was informed of the attacks while on a national trip, and called them "ruthless murder". Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah condemned the attacks as the work of "monsters" and vowed to destroy the terrorist group that ordered them. After the attacks, Saudi Arabia began a harsh crackdown on the insurgency, arresting more than 600 terrorist suspects and seizing bomb-making materials, bomb belts, and thousands of weapons.

On 7 June 2003, an official Saudi statement identified twelve men as the perpetrators of this attack. According to that statement, the identification was based on DNA found at the scene. The names were Al-Qaeda member Khaled Muhammad bin Muslim Al-Arawi Al-Juhani, Muhammed Othman Abdullah Al-Walidi Al-Shehri, Hani Saeed Ahmad Al Abdul-Karim Al-Ghamdi, Jubran Ali Ahmad Hakami Khabrani, Khaled bin Ibrahim Mahmoud, Mehmas bin Muhammed Mehmas Al-Hawashleh Al-Dosari, Muhammed bin Shadhaf Ali Al-Mahzoum Al-Shehri, Hazem Muhammed Saeed Kashmiri, Majed Abdullah Sa'ad bin Okail, Bandar bin Abdul-Rahman Menawer Al-Rahimi Al-Mutairi, Abdul-Karim Muhammed Jubran Yazji, and Abdullah Farres bin Jufain Al-Rahimi Al-Mutairi.

Abdul Rahman Jabarah was killed in a gunfight with Saudi security forces, believed to have been involved in the attack, as was Zubayr Al-Rimi.

There was one more large-scale attack in Saudi Arabia in 2003. On 8 November, on the day the US State Department warned of further attacks in that country, a suicide truck bomb detonated outside the Al-Mohaya housing compound in Laban Valley, West of Riyadh, killing at least 17 people and wounding 122. Those killed in the attack were all Arabs, many of them workers from countries such as Egypt and Lebanon. Among the injured were people from India, Bangladesh, Philippines, and Eritrea.

Saif al-Adel and Saad Bin Laden are believed to have ordered the attacks. However, according to Saad's family and an interrogation of al-Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Saad and al-Adel were in Iranian custody at the time of the bombing. Saad was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan in 2009

July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.
FACTS Embassy bombings
On July 30, 2004, suicide bombers struck the entrances of the US and Israeli embassies in Tashkent. Two Uzbek security guards were killed in both bombings. The IJU again claimed responsibility.

Foreign commentators on Uzbek affairs speculated that the 2004 violence could have been the work of the IMU, Al-Qaeda, Hizb ut-Tahrir, or some other radical Islamic organization

Associated Press
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia has begun trials of 55 suspected Al Qaeda members, some charged in a deadly attack on a U.S. Consulate in 2004, the kingdom's official news agency reported Sunday.

The Saudi Interior Ministry said eight people were killed in the 2004 storming of the consulate in the port city of Jeddah, including three militants and five citizens of Arab countries who worked at the consulate. A fourth militant died later.

In the brazen attack on Dec. 6, 2004, militants lobbed grenades at the heavily guarded consulate, attacking staffers and holding some hostage in the compound before Saudi security forces stormed in.

March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name "David Foy." This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what's considered American soil.)

Footage from a security camera at the site showed, as the shootout was unfolding, three armed and bearded men emerging from a Ford Focus being used as an unlicensed taxicab, killing a traffic policeman, then running toward a guard post some 50 yards away as other policemen fired back. The vehicle left the scene, but its driver later turned himself in to the authorities; he had no prior connection to the attackers. There were no casualties in the attack apart from the three attackers and three police officers. Suspected perpetrators: Al-Qaeda alleged

2013-05-09-benghazi_gate_bush_era_320.jpg A few observations about this timeline. My initial list was quoted from an article on the Daily Kos which actually contained several errors and only 11 attacks (the above timeline contains all 13 attacks). Also, my list above doesn't include the numerous and fatal attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad during the Iraq war -- a war that was vocally supported by Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Fox News Channel.

Was it NOT Democrats who also voted for the actions taken by the United Nations and the United States and their coalition?

Who knew, Democrats voted for the same actions and had said for many years that Saddam Hussein had to be removed from office.

That's all they should've done... acknowledged the failure and assure us that the incompetence is remedied.

That probably should've included firing hillary.

Geez the depth of ignorance is astounding......Who do you think is in charge of the CIA.......do you think for a moment that this was not a CIA operation....how many clues do you need.......Hillary being fired......sorry I cannot fix stupid.

We'll just keep bumping this thread up

Simply to irritate 2seaoat and you. Which, I see, it accomplished. Both of you are speechless at having the FACTS posted.

He has no facts because there was no coverup......a simple emphasis on one of two alternatives, and the president speaks with the authority of the commander in chief when he clearly said from the Rose Garden that it was a terrorist attack.
