Administration Ignored Bin Laden Intel
gettin-bored noted a nice article running in very high priority on the Washington Post, right up there on page 17 of the print edition, where it's revealed that the CIA Director warned Rice about Bin Laden two months before 9/11. And strangely, the meeting was never mentioned during all the 9/11 commission reports making you really question what exactly they were actually hearing that was more important than the CIA director telling the National Security Advisor that Bin Laden was going to attack Americans.
Clinton did nothing as well.
... realized more than before that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows ran in defeat."
FACT: Clinton on tape turning down the 3 requests from Sudan. He stated that he had no reason to hold him. That is a lie. AT that time Osama had already been indicted as a co conspirator (spelling?) for the 1st WTC bombing. So Clinton lied people died!
FACT: Clinton passed on numerous chances to kill Osama when his exact location was known. Once because playground equipt. was there. Once because Osama was with a prince of the UAE, a country who Clinton was closing a deal on selling 16 F-!^'s to for billions f dollars and didn't want to queer the deal if the Prince was accidently killed also. Once he NEVER answered his phone or returned the calls because he was watching a golf game! He did nothing when the Khobar towers were bombed. His former C.I.A agent has written a book about his incompetence fighting terrorism as well as the following:
In February 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed by Muslim fanatics, killing five people and injuring hundreds.
Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.
In October 1993, 18 American troops were killed in a savage firefight in Somalia. The body of one American was dragged through the streets of Mogadishu as the Somalian hordes cheered.
Clinton responded by calling off the hunt for Mohammed Farrah Aidid and ordering our troops home. Osama bin Laden later told ABC News: "The youth
In November 1995, five Americans were killed and 30 wounded by a car bomb in Saudi Arabia set by Muslim extremists.
Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.
In June 1996, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in Saudi Arabia was bombed by Muslim extremists.
Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.
Months later, Saddam attacked the Kurdish-controlled city of Erbil.
Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, lobbed some bombs into Iraq hundreds of miles from Saddam's forces.
In November 1997, Iraq refused to allow U.N. weapons inspections to do their jobs and threatened to shoot down a U.S. U-2 spy plane.
Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.
In February 1998, Clinton threatened to bomb Iraq, but called it off when the United Nations said no.
On Aug. 7, 1998, U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim extremists.
Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.
In October 2000, our warship, the USS Cole, was attacked by Muslim extremists.
Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.
FACT: If Clinton did his job 9/11 would not have happened. It was during the Clinton Administration that we experienced attack and after attack by Islamic terrorists...and nothing was done about it. The first World Trade Center bombing? Nothing. The debacle in Somalia? No response. The bombing of our African embassies? Zero action. Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia? The Democrats did nothing. All the while, Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were emboldened....propped up by our appeasement strategy. During the 8 years of the Clinton Administration, Islamic terrorists plotted and planned their greatest attack: September 11th. And so they pulled it off.
And it was the policies and procedures of the Clinton Administration that benefited the 9/11 hijackers, right up until the end. They could have been caught, but "the wall" put into place during Jamie Gorelick's tenure at the Department of Justice prevented the sharing of intelligence across agencies. And yet she was put on the 9/11 Commission.
