Yo, Rob--update on attacks on US embassies December 14, 2012 8:30 pm ER

In response to your earlier question on how many demonstrations against US diplomatic interests occured on or after 11 Sep, 2012.

Here is a copy of the map I saw briefly on TV showing attacks on US embassies, and other demonstrations related to the anti-Islam video of Sept 11. I count about 50, from Australia to Amsterdam.

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/09/201291482159758224.html

I don’t know exactly when all these incidents occured, or how serious or violent they were, but this interactive map allows you to query each one and find out. The news story was last updated on 15 Sept, all these incidents must have occured within just a few days of each other, so the White House must have been pretty busy monitoring all this and trying to sort it out right after the Libya attack and for a few days after.

There was no conspiracy, It’s not surprising it took them a while to get their story straight.
