When the US Consulate in Saudi Arabia was stormed and eight died in 2004 did you call for Congressional hearings?

Nope.

There were no hearings after any of these attacks, even though there were more casualties. Why not?
There have been no calls wanting Bush held responsible for "lies"?

The problem here really isn't the attack. You attack people and they tend to want to attack back. That's a pretty basic principle. It's not something that needs investigated. It just is.

The lame ass excuses for why the attacks happened though are another story. Will an investigation change anything? No, but I still get a kick out of the attempts to get rid of a story that is only a story because of the lies.

Oh, okay, so you DON'T want hearings about the attacks then? Great, good to know.

Just for the record, what were the lame-ass excuses for all the previous attacks on embassies through the years? I'd be willing to bet you neither know nor care.

Something to keep in mind if you murder someone and can remain low for about a year.

Also, Bush is ancient history relatively speaking.
C'mon. be fair. Obama had to get some sleep. Had a fundraiser in Vegas the next day. Couldn't be bothered with some inane task like trying to save lives.

No, I do not recall stupid lame ass excuses.

Hearings are nothing more than dog and pony shows but as I said, I hope people continue to harass them over the stupid
excuses they came up with.

It makes no sense when the truth was the best thing to say. But when people like yourself will go out of their way to defend things like this, politicians will believe that lies are the best venue.

2004? That's back in the Stone Age, according to Obama years.

If Bush stood before the UN and lied, blaming either attack on an obscure anti-Islam video than I will be happy to write my congressmen today to ask for a hearing.
Post some videos showing us Bush lying about the attacks.

This is exactly right. All the rest is simply political posturing. In other words, it's not worth the massive amount of bloviating that it is garnering from the right. Thanks for your honesty.

Yea, you just want it censored like the Gosnell case. Another one you liberals should be proud of.

Nope but the lying is. It's a perfect textbook example of the saying that the truth is always the best reply.
