13. How many of those killed were Americans?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

14. What an ethnocentric and inane question!

[Arkana]

15. If you calm down for a second, I'll explain why I asked.

That's why the Freep-types get away with handwaving those events. "No Americans were killed."

16. Benghazi: Because one embassy attack in four years warrants investigations...

While 8 attacks that killed nearly 100 people in multiple countries does not!

"Benghazi Conspiracy Rally On Capitol Hill Attracts Dozens Of People"

snip//

WASHINGTON, DC — The first anniversary of the Benghazi tragedy was supposed to be the time for conservatives around the country to descend on the Capitol by the thousands, demanding that Congress reveal the truth. Less than one hundred bothered to show up.

The “Justice for Benghazi” rally was meant to be a joint effort between the Patriots4America and Special Operations Speaks — two groups that have for months now been hammering establishment Republicans for what they see as not enough action to unveil what really happened in Benghazi, Libya last year. Special Operations Speaks was behind a series of ads and petitions demanding that Speaker of the House John Boehner appoint a special committee to investigate the supposed Obama administration cover-up of its involvement in the attack and the deaths of four Americans including Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. According to organizers, as many as 5,000 people were expected to show up on the Hill and make their voices heard.

There's more..

22. Here was the day I was there:

200,000 at Washington Peace march (circa 1971 John Kerry speaks and John Denver sings)

We were only teargassed at the end. My union brethren were ready with canteens of water and bandanas. There were few arrests among our group. We were unable to stay for the May Day protests but some did and 35.000 were arrested in 3 days:

The 1971 May Day Protests were a series of large-scale civil disobedience actions in Washington, D.C., in protest against the Vietnam War. These began on May Day of that year, continued with similar intensity into the morning of the third day, then rapidly diminished through several following days. Most members of the Nixon Administration[who?] would come to view the events as damaging, because the government's response led to mass arrests and were perceived as violating rights.

23. That's fantastic you were there, fresh!

Of course I was crying by the time John Denver sang "Last night I had the Strangest Dream". by Ed McCurdy..

Ed McCurdy (January 11, 1919 – March 23, 2000) was an American folk singer, songwriter, and television actor. His anti-war classic, "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" (1950[1]), inspired and gave hope to those in the peace movement.

Thank you for the Vid.. glad to have seen John Kerry talk about ending the War in Viet Nam..and all those 1/2 Million People!

I was here.. 2/15/2003 in New York City.. 20 degrees.

25. I began networking with people at youtube in 2005 or 2006 when we could not get live coverage on

actions against the war. We knew people were out in the streets in the thousands and messaged back and forth from the people in the streets as some watched the major networks.

We needed what we had in the past, national awareness of anti-war voices. Many people abroad did not believe any Americans opposed the wars. It was a total media black out when we considered what was happening in real time. And as they used to say, 'If it wasn't on TV, it never happened.'

But I was involved with local actions, which were on street corners and overpasses weekly in many places, plus going to meetings with our representatives.

It was a raucus time, with the VT and WA legislators calling for secession as we didn't want to be involved in the war. We had many town hall meetings like this one where Obama was going over the cost of Bush's wars and the disintegrationn of civil society in America from the cost, which we saw here. He gives examples, and we talked of these details with our people:

This data was available district by district in our state and we saw how schools were closed, social services were stretched to the breaking point and things were being sold off.

Thanks for the pix of where you were. Good going there. And 20 degrees?

No wonder you were ready for Hawaii!

26. That's a priceless gem of a vid from 2005 with

Senator Obama talking about where we could use the money instead of on bush's war in Iraq. Thank you, freshwest!

I still remember Obama's speech from Oct 2, 2002 on the reasons of not going into Iraq. It was priceless. He wasn't against all wars.. just dumb wars. I posted it on DU a few hundred times!

I just took a break to go look outside.. I heard torrents of rain.. finally! It's been so Hot for so long and today it cooled down and we got Rain. Not that it will last or anything.

The "20 degrees" was nothing.. it got much colder and lots of snow.. after 12 years I was ready for some warm clime. That I just complained about. lol

20. 1800 people died in New Orleans in 2005

partly due to Bush's gutting of FEMA and the incompetent cronies he let run it. Yet not a word from the Benghazers as Georgie played the guitar while several cities drowned.

24. Is there a source for the investigations that took place after these attacks?

I'd like to compare them

[Rebellious Republican]

27. I will go back further than this timeline.....

Happened on Reagans watch....

The Beirut Barracks Bombings (October 23, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon) occurred during the Lebanese Civil War, when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Lebanon—killing 299 American and French servicemen. An obscure group calling itself 'Islamic Jihad' claimed responsibility for the bombing.[1]
Suicide bombers detonated each of the truck bombs. In the attack on the building serving as a barracks for the 1st Battalion 8th Marines (Battalion Landing Team - BLT 1/8), the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers, along with 60 Americans injured, representing the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since World War II's Battle of Iwo Jima, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Vietnam War's Tet Offensive, and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II.[2] In addition, the building's elderly Lebanese custodian was killed in the first blast.[3] The explosives used were equivalent to 9,525 kg (21,000 pounds) of TNT.[4]

28. It seemed that whenever anything bad happened

during the Bush years, they raised the color-coded alert system - "Be afraid, be very afraid. Pay no attention to what is going on over there, you are in danger and we will protect you." If there was a really bad scandal, they'd release a questionable video of Osama Bin Laden.
