I remember when attacks on our embassies and consulates made the news one day . . . and were forgotten . . . you know, we all knew why we were attacked, because they hate our freedoms . . . and the people who died? Well, they knew what they were getting into when they took the job. Twelve times over the Bush years and approximately thirty-five times since 1958 our interests have been attacked overseas. Where were all the calls for accountability when US Diplomat David Foy died in the attack of March 2, 2006, in Karachi? Granted, most of the dead in the attacks under Bush's watch were not Americans, but most worked for us. They died protecting American interests.
No outrage for them?
There have been 35 attacks upon U.S. embassies and consulates around the world in the past 55 years. The vast majority of them were attacks that took place right outside of the Embassies walls including your attack in Karachi, not U.S. sovereign territory. It's the responsibility of the host nation to protect the perimeter of any foreign diplomatic embassy or consulate. The vast majority of these attacks upon our embassies were bombings outside of the embassy walls.
Of the 35 attacks on American diplomatic embassies and consulate in the past 55 years, 7 of them the attackers were able to breach the perimeter and put foot on U.S. soverign soil. I'll list everyone where the perimeter wall was breached and when it became the responsibility of the Executive branch of the U.S. Government.
