$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('careinke', 'L')ike the US Embassy attack in Saudi Arabia you told us about that did not actually happen?
My most current reference is the list on Wikipedia, correct it if you like.
Don't be bitter because your candidate was exposed for actively soliciting money from several white supremacist organizations.
The fact remains the GOP is Al Qaeda's cheering section.

I really don't need a list from wiki, I was there. The US Embassy in Saudi was NEVER attacked.

Wow you are focused on this like an autistic kid staring at a piece of lint, aren't you?
How about this? ".......On December 6, militants staged perhaps their most brazen attack, the storming of the American consulate in Jeddah. They breached the compound's outer wall and began shooting, though they did not enter the consulate itself. A Yemeni, a Sudanese, a Filipino, a Pakistani and a Sri Lankan—all employees of the consulate—were killed, and about ten others were wounded. All of the gunmen were killed...."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans has dealt the Central Intelligence Agency a major setback in its intelligence-gathering efforts at a time of increasing instability in the North African nation.
Among the more than two dozen American personnel evacuated from the city after the assault on the American mission and a nearby annex were about a dozen C.I.A. operatives and contractors, who played a crucial role in conducting surveillance and collecting information on an array of armed militant groups in and around the city.
"It’s a catastrophic intelligence loss," said one American official who has served in Libya and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the F.B.I. is still investigating the attack. "We got our eyes poked out."
