Anybody up for a summary? Can you take the truth ??? Terrorist Deaths Per Month -- hows that for a statistic? Consider the presidential performance history from 1981 to 2014: -- Reagan 1981-1988 1983 - Bombing at United States Embassy in Beirut, April 18, 1983. 63 people killed. 1983 - Beirut barracks bombing, October 23, 1983. 305 people, including 241 US servicemen, are killed by a large truck bomb. 1984 - Twenty-two people were killed and seventy were wounded when another truck bomb exploded in front of the U.S. Embassy annex in Awkar, Lebanon. 1985 - TWA Flight 847 hijacked, U.S. Navy diver is killed by Hezbollah. 1985 - Achille Lauro hijacking, wheel-chair bound American killed by Palestinian militants. 1985 - US Army Specialist Edward Pimental was murdered by members of the Red Army Faction. 1985 - A car bomb exploded at Rhein-Main Air Base, killing two and wounding eleven. 1986 - Four Americans were killed and five Americans were injured when a bomb exploded aboard TWA Flight 840 as it traveled from Rome to Athens. 1986 - On April 6, a Berlin discotheque bombing killed a Turkish woman and 2 US servicemen and injured 230 people. 1988 - On April 14 at 8 p.m., a car bomb exploded in front of the USO Club in Naples, Italy.

Plus eleven persons on the ground. 1988 - 1990 - Marine Col. Rich Higgins kidnapped, tortured and murdered by Hezbollah -------------------- -- GHW Bush 1989-1992 Presents an argument for promoting CIA Director to President. Nothing big and bad happened during his administration. Gulf War 1990-1991 had 458 coalition troops killed. 190 from enemy action. Nobody knows how many Iraqis were killed. --------------------- -- Clinton 1993-2000 1993 - World Trade Center bombing, February 26: 6 killed, 1,042 injured. 1995 - Two US diplomats killed in Pakistan, March 8. 1995 - Oklahoma City bombing, 168 killed, over 800 injured. April 19. 1996 - Khobar Towers bombed: 19 American servicemen killed. 1998 - US embassies bombed: U.S. Kenya Embassy, 214 killed; U.S. Tanzania Embassy, 11 killed. (Other sources cite 232 dead.) 2000 - USS Cole attacked, 17 U.S. Navy sailors killed, 39 injured. ----------------------- -- George W.

The ambassador and three other Americans killed. 2013 - Boston Marathon bombed, 3 killed, 183 injured. ------------------- Bush41 had been director of the CIA. He put overseas operations on a war footing early on, responding to Hezbollah threats. His actions were not continued by Clinton or his son. Bush41 did fight the Gulf War, which got started under a cloud. Diplomacy prior to the war seemed to encourage the Iraqi invasion. Today, no surprise, the GOPers are out lying their asses off about Benghazi. Reagan had a death total at 7 a month for his average month. Clinton got a 4.4 average month. Obama is losing what?... 0.1 person a month from terrorism. Who is the champion Protector of the Realm ??? Gee, the Black guy. Does this remind anybody else of the Wilson vs. Manning Super Bowl ??? 43-to-8 for the score was closer than the play in that game. Same for Obama beating out Reagan, Clinton, or Bush43 at defense against terrorism.
