There were dozens of attacks on U.S. diplomats under Dubya's watch.

Please provide a single example of liberals politicizing one of those attacks.

Of course there were attacks on diplomats under Bush. But no deaths at a U.S. consulate or U.S. embassy

Were there diplomat's deaths inside a consulate or embassy? And no back up security to support and defend the consulate while under attack?

There were deaths under Bush, mostly caused by car bomb attacks and such as that.

[b]Yes, there were deaths of diplomatic personnel inside diplomatic grounds[/b].

Obviously, the security was inadequate to prevent the deaths.

I wasn't aware of that. Where and when?

OK, maybe it's funny but can you or Sal answer where and when our diplomats were killed inside U.S. consulates or embassies under the Bush administration while receiving no back up security help?

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.)

Consular employees are not U.S. diplomats. I realize that there have been deaths at U.S. embassies and consulates. But during those attacks, our diplomats were not murdered inside our embassies or consulates. And during those attacks, our diplomats were not left to fend for themselves while our Ambassador was being murdered.

My experience at embassies is limited to: The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo and the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo. Now, at the U.S. Embassy there were armed Japanese guards on the outside of our Embassy. Once you got through initial security checks and inside the embassy, there were Marine Guards. I do not believe terrorists would easily be able to get to our Ambassador inside that Tokyo Embassy. They would have to go through several levels of security. They might initially kill some Japanese consular employees, but I do not believe they would get to our Ambassador and be able to kill him.

Again, I have to ask: where and when were our diplomats killed inside U.S. consulates and embassies during the Bush administration?

This was outside the Consulate, not inside. And Bush at least called it terrorism..

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/03/01/karachi.blast/

A U.S. diplomat and his driver were among at least four people killed in an apparent suicide attack outside the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, officials said.....


Bush said the bombings would not deter plans for his visit.

"Terrorists and killers are not going to prevent me from going to Pakistan," he said, adding the bombing shows the war on terrorism must continue.

Split hairs? Do you think that the inside of a U.S. Consulate or U.S. Embassy compound in a foreign country is the same as outside the compound?

But we also need to recognize that we aren’t impressing anyone — except maybe a small subset of our base — when we see things that no one else sees and declare any fact that is inconsistent with the narrative we want to be wrong, manufactured or somehow previously unknown and explosive. GOP leaders need to step up, make a couple of Benghazi-related assignments and tell everyone else to move on. If there’s more truth and more news, it will come out. But we have more important things to do...."

So just ignore what when wrong at Benghazi. Yep, President Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton think that's a grand idea. So grand they've already moved on....

Now will someone explain that lack of interest to the families of these folks?

After that, explain how anyone in the Bush admin. lied, covered-up or changed memos about those death during his watch. I think that makes a big difference.

Neko, do you consider people that were inside the embassy that were killed from a truck bomb being detonated outside as killed inside the embassy? The August 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi killed 12 Americans. I understand this discussion is centered around the Bush and Obama Administrations, however if you are talking about Americans killed inside embassies then I believe this incident would be applicable. If it is not applicable to the discussion at hand, then I apologize for sticking my nose into the fray.

No one lied or covered up anything, and we don't know how memos were massaged during the Dubya administration because no one has ever givena a shit how memos were massaged before.

Wingnuts have had five long years of pent-up angst waiting for any kind of scandal.

They have an outragegasm at every little anomaly.

Clinton was President in 1998. The link given by Dreams (Krauthammer Whitewashes Bush's History To Bash Obama Over Embassy Attack) was about George W Bush and this discussion has centered around attacks since 911, and since we've been involved in a "war on terror". Yes, there were attacks before 911, for years, that killed Americans. Our government only became really serious about stopping terrorism after 911.

Is it because Hillary said "What does it matter?", that you hold that to be the gospel?

Obama claims to know nothing, so you're allowed to claim cluelessness also?

If you're okay with elected officials lying to you for and about political purposes, have a good day.

Oh, I see ...

You sure you're not leaving a little too much latitude?

Maybe you should restrict the argument to 52 year old men from California whose names rhyme with Bristopher Peevens.
