ORIGINAL: For those interested in actual facts: a). There were numberous embassy attacks during Bush's tenure. True. However, not a single american died during those attacks. Not one. Look it up. When did the US strip David Foy of his citizenship? How about Susan el-Baneh? David Foy was killed at a hotel, as part of an assassination, which as you may notice *is not an attack on an american embassy (or consulate). The hotel is across the street from the consulate he worked at. The consulate the same group had attacked 3 times previously killing a lot of US government employees in the process. No, or at least not that I have found any report of. Dead were pakistani rangers, pakistani police, and civilians. "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." SOURCE Flat out lie by your source. Here is a link about the attack: According to wiki, whose sources are listed: "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.[2] All contained large numbers of Americans, Westerners, and non-Saudi Arabs" Your source is lying trying to say its was an attack on a US embassy or consulate, when in fact it was not. quote:

Now you might have schooled me good on Susan el-Baneh. You know, her cousin was the one that set up and participated in the attack. And she was killed outside the embassy. Inside the embassy compound in line waiting to get a visa for her husband. Outside the embassy. Quoting CNN: "No American officials or embassy employees were killed or wounded, embassy officials said. Six of the dead were Yemeni guards at the compound entrance, and the other four killed were civilians waiting to be allowed in" Got a source for that information from CNN? As I simply plugged that quote into goggle, and I got a very different original source....FOX NEWS! Yeah, cus FOX News.....always.....is 100% truthful, honest and credible with its 'journalism'. Is it really that hard to go to the cnn site and do a search yourself? http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/18/yemen.american/index.html?iref=allsearch quote:

ORIGINAL: Phydeaux Regarding the sequester: Obama's idea. Regarding the staffing levels at the embassies: Obamas plan. Regarding the movie that inspired the riots: Obama's lie. You really have a one dimensional view on US History..... Here is a short history lesson the Sequester. Republicans failed in the deal and then tried to go back on their word in regards to original sequester. Which is why they blew so much B.S. on their media sources in trying to convinced the uninformed Americans (i.e. conservatives that watch FOX NEWS), that Democrats were at fault. Yes, both sides had faults, but the Republican's attitude of 'Party of No' got them into the lion's share of blame. Oh, an Sequestor was not President Obama's idea, it was Congress's. Factually in error. Here, let me educate *you*. Here's the link: http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2013/03/03/white-house-admits-third-time-president-obama-fibbed-on-sequester/ Here's the quote: "None other than NBC’s David Gregory today pressed Obama’s chief economic advisor, Gene Sperling, whether his boss told the truth in the third presidential debate that “the sequester is not something that I’ve proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed.” Sperling finally wilted under the pressure of tough questioning to admit that “yes, in fact, the sequestration was President Obama’s Jack Lew admitted it was Obama's idea in sworn hearings Feb 13. and Jay Carney admitted it was O's idea Feb 19. Do try to read more than Dim talking points. Of course, the president lied on national TV three times saying the sequester was Congress' idea. Before the press actually performed their job. quote:
Your going to blame a US President of not knowing the best staffing levels at all the embassies, BEFORE, an attack takes place at one of them? Gosh, imagine if you held Republicans to....THIS LEVEL OF ACCOUNTIBILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY? Republicans would never get elected to office for a century! I do not blame former President George W. Bush for the thirteen embassy attacks on his watch. Go reread my statement. Staffing levels are the responsibility of his administration. The president is only responsible to the extent the bucks stops there. However, where the president was *culpable* was where he ordered the relief missions to stand down. Where he was culpable when he conferred at 4:30 am with hillary clinton to call it a spontaneous mob inspired by a video. After watching the live video feed, and hearing from the NSA that it was not. Regarding the *13* embassy attacks - this is a direct quote from dimocratic talking points. Read a little history - the number of attacks were far far more. quote:
blah... blah blah.. Oh one final note. Democrats were pretty weary that Republicans might go back on their word in the deal if thing went south with the sequester. They made sure to keep everything in recorded history and show it to all Americans. Yeah, they took a hit on The Affordable Care Act and vowed not to allow Republicans to do the same thing twice to them. An how does the ACA come into all of this? For that you'll have to study US History from a non-conservative source. You know, the free media? Do you have a source, or a quote to at least try to explain what you are talking about? It is so far removed from reality that I actually have no idea even what you are trying to say. May I suggest a timeline on the sequester here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_sequestration_in_2013
