Has anyone seen that stupid meme going around stating that 87 Ambassadors died under President George Bush so there shouldn't be a problem with Hillary and the 4 Benghazi deaths??
Would love to refute but am afraid to do a leftist Google as all the reference material would probably come from Salon.com or Yahoo Nooz
What video caused these deaths?
It is an absurd claim. We have one ambassador representing our nation in the capitals of about 125 nations. George W. Bush was president for eight years. Eight years is 96 months. The claim that 87 ambassadors were killed while Bush was president would mean that almost one ambassador was killed every month.
When I Bing’ed the claim, I saw the numbers of people killed in embassy bombings while Bush was president. Not all of those kill were Americans, and NONE of them was an ambassador. The number most touted was 60 killed. If my memory serves me well about two-thirds of those killed were citizens of the country who were in nearby restaurants and the attackers themselves. About another quarter were the citizens of other nations who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Are they counting natural deaths, former ambassadors, car accidents, and 9/11?
Utter nonsense. You can count the number of ambassadors that were murdered in the line of duty in the entirety of US history on your fingers.
Clinton era :
1998: 2 US embassies in Africa bombed
At least 200 people have been killed and more than 1,000 injured following explosions at United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
....not to mention that those were BOMBINGS, not face to face attacks. You can’t send in the cavalry when it’s one bomb that explodes.
But when you have an EIGHT+hour attack by a pack of feral Muslims and the cavalry is ordered to stand down and LET IT HAPPEN... and THEN to turn around and lie to the American people - blaming some video maker and throwing him in jail for months.... that is a crime.
Whatever crap descends on the Bush Crime Tribe—THEY DESERVE !
Show them this....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_United_States_embassy_bombings
and this...https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/20/africa-embassy-bombings-osama-bin-laden-kenya-tanzania-al-qaida
It wasn’t 87 “Ambassadors” nor 87 Americans. There were 87 people killed in attacks at and around US Embassy’s at various crapholes around the world.
