There was no Republican condemnation of Bush for these attacks, much less investigations or attempts to remove him from office.

Notes

Much discussion here. News item here: Items 1-4,7, 8, and 12 are referred to as "consulates", #5 and #9 are described as "compounds", and #6, #10, #11, and #13 are each referred to as a "US embassy".
