I don’t seem to remember Bush II being asked any pointed questions about that thing that happened on 9/11. Well, he was interviewed by the Commission. In private, with no release of the results. And Cheney was by his side… Really makes me happy to see the Pubbies getting so nervous. Who will they run? Here in Texas, we’re seeing Governor Ricky & Ted Cruz trying to Out Batshit each other, preparing for their competition over the Presidential Nomination–or the Gubernatorial one. They aren’t sure yet. I bet Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert are getting ready for some choice clips… ---

You aren’t smart enough to be here. You’re a blubbering child who doesn’t understand the issues being discussed. Other than that, your impotent rage\* is funny though\*.

But wait, what was being covered up? They don’t know, but it must be bad, or else there wouldn’t have been a cover up, so that’s why they’re investigating! Logic! ---

Lindsey Graham is particularly despicable. Benghazi was bad enough, but people were still bleeding after the bombing in Boston and that little assnugget was trying to find a way to pin the blame on Obama. ---

> [@Habakkuk3](#): > > They’re bringing in THE RABID ANTI-BUSH SITES! > > Oh NO! > > Not that! > > NOT THAT! Friend Habakkuk3, I understand your upset. You love Bush, and everything he ever did. I know what it is like to have such fawning adoration for someone. I, as a teen-ager, was enamored of David Bowie. That said, you are upset that a “rabid anti-Bush site” provided some info. I get it. But, if I may ask, which of these bits of info: > [@rabid\_anti\_bush\_site](#): > > January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen associated with Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami attack the U.S. Consulate. Five people are killed. > > June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. Suicide bomber connected with al Qaeda attacks the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 51. > > October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed as part of a string of “Bali Bombings.” No fatalities. > > February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed. > > 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. > > July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people. > > December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al Qaeda terrorists storm the U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine people are killed. > > 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.) > > September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are wounded. > > January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities. > > March 18, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the embassy, but hits nearby school killing two. > > July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate. Six people are killed. > > September 17, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including an American student and her husband (they had been married for three weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months. are not true? Specifically and in detail please. ---
