The US Embassy bombing that you are supposed to forget
Explosions Rock U.S. Embassy in Yemen; 16 Killed
Wednesday, September 17, 2008
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,423823,00.html

Suspected militants armed with automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and at least one homicide car bomb attacked the U.S. Embassy in Yemen's capital Wednesday, killing six Yemeni guards and four civilians, officials said. Six of the attackers were also killed in what the U.S. called a failed attempt to storm the compound.

U.S. State Department Sean McCormack said that the sophisticated attack "bears all the hallmarks of an Al Qaeda attack."

One source told FOX News the apparent attack on the embassy in Yemen did not "happen in a vacuum." In the last two months, Yemen has broken up or arrested members of a significant number of cells — some related to Al Qaeda.
----------------
Haven't been "hit" since 9/11? Cheney screwed up-the talking point is supposed to be "We have not been hit INSIDE the United States by FOREIGN terrorists" that talking point cuts out the Anthrax attacks AND the US Embassy bombing in Yemen. They used to be all upset about US Embassy bombings now we don't talk about it.

2. 9/11 Happened On There Watch - They Were Told Of The Possibility And Failed ......
to prevent it.

How could they still continue to say that they protected this country for the 8 years following? Bottom line they had the 'world's biggest wake up call' on 9/11. Hello!!!!!

Yes you are right. They not only aren't blamed for 9/11 they (totally absurdity) take credit for it

It is all they have. All they ever had.

7. The Anthrax attacks!!!
Yeah they really kept people safe from that. Got right to the bottom of it just like they did 9/11. They are teh awesomeist!!11!

Although most likely the Antrax was being used to intimidate journalists and congressmen - probably ordered by Cheney.

Dick Cheney = big fat fucking liar.
