bin Laden's not the only thing bill clinton lost

by Mia T, 6.22.04

In an effort to counter the growing perception that President Clinton forfeited America's best chance to arrest Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks, "CBS Evening News" anchorman Dan Rather aired new footage Monday night of Clinton strenuously denying that the government of Sudan ever offered to extradite the al Qaida mastermind.

In a segment initially edited out of Sunday night's "60 Minutes" broadcast, Clinton tells Rather, "To the best of my knowledge it is not true that we were ever offered [bin Laden] by the Sudanese, even though they later claimed it. I think it's total bull." In more remarks deleted from the original broadcast, the ex-president claimed:

"Mr. Absurabi, the head of the Sudanese government, was a buddy of bin Laden's. They were business partners together. There was no way in the wide world this guy who was in business with bin Laden in Sudan was going to give him up to us."

eems bill lost his supposed ol' touch along with bin Laden.

Exculpation by business partner? I mean, gimme a break.

Surely clinton, of all people, knows that after the spouse, the business partner is the prime suspect in any hit. (Need I say "Jim McDougal?")


DON'T BELIEVE YOUR LYING EARS (the perjurer returns)

The real question before us is not whether clinton lost bin Laden, and "lost" him purposefully and repeatedly; the record on that is clear.

The real question is why.

Why, despite bin Laden's repeated acts of war against America and repeated declarations of war against America, did this legacy-obsessed president repeatedly and purposefully refuse to take -- and take out -- bin Laden? (Don't be fooled by clinton's ineffectual, curiously-timed pin pricks that were engineered to fail.)

At the time of the first WTC bombing by the same terrorists in '93, terrorism was in its incipient stage and stoppable; defeating terrorism would have secured clinton's legacy for all time. Yet, bill clinton didn't even visit the site; he quickly 'moved on' and urged the country to 'move on,' too.

So the question before us is not "whether" but "why." Why did clinton refuse to take on terrorism?

Was it simple stupidity and lack of vision?

Or was it also that familiar clinton demagogic refrain: cowardice, infantilism, megalomania... and the Nobel Peace Prize?

Which brings us to clinton's book....


THE BIG STORY

The big story emerging from bill clinton's book is not that the book is small and vacuous and dishonest and self-indulgent and undisciplined and incoherent and "eye-crossingly dull," like its author.

It's not even that 'the paper of record' has declared it so.

The big story coming out of bill clinton's embarrassingly anachronistic little book is this:
If we are to prevail, if we are to win this war on terror, we must never, ever again elect anyone remotely like bill clinton.

"The Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him [bin Laden].

At the time, '96, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.

So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have; but they thought it was a hot potato. They didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."

Clinton's failure to grasp the opportunity to unravel increasingly organized extremists, coupled with Berger's assessments of their potential to directly threaten the U.S., represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history.

Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize
MANSOOR IJAZ
December 5, 2001

A Fish Rots from the Head

Investor's Business Daily

 

Ijaz, an admitted Clinton supporter who helped negotiate these opportunities to nab bin Laden, said, "The silence of the Clinton administration in responding to these offers was deafening."

Ijaz says that three months before bin Laden's men blew up the USS Cole in Yemen, he "brought the White House another plausible offer to deal with bin Laden, by then known to be involved in the embassy bombings (in Tanzania and Kenya)... But senior Clinton officials sabotaged the offer."

Clinton's apparent boredom with vital information extended beyond Sudanese intelligence officers to his own intelligence officers. His first CIA director, James Woolsey, couldn't get a meeting with Clinton in the two years he served. Woolsey left the Clinton administration disgusted with its slovenly approach to national security. ...

To hear Clinton now say "We must do more to reduce the pool of potential terrorists" is thus beyond farce. He had numerous opportunities to reduce that pool, and he blew it.

The pool, in fact, grew larger on Clinton's watch, as he spent his final days giving pardons to drug dealers, Puerto Rican terrorists and Marc Rich, a fugitive who topped America's most-wanted list.

NEW AUDIO!

In this light, Clinton's order to the CIA that it not use "unsavory characters" to collect information pushes irony to its outer limits.

INTERVIEW Osama bin Laden

(may 1998)

 

In the first part of this interview which occurred in May 1998, a little over two months before the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama bin Laden answers questions posed to him by some of his followers at his mountaintop camp in southern Afghanistan. In the latter part of the interview, ABC reporter John Miller is asking the questions.

 

Describe the situation when your men took down the American forces in Somalia.

 

After our victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press after the Gulf War in which it destroyed the infrastructure and the milk and dairy industry that was vital for the infants and the children and the civilians and blew up dams which were necessary for the crops people grew to feed their families. Proud of this destruction, America assumed the titles of world leader and master of the new world order. After a few blows, it forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling itself world leader and master of the new world order, and its politicians realized that those titles were too big for them and that they were unworthy of them. I was in Sudan when this happened. I was very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered, so was every Muslim....

 

The American people, by and large, do not know the name bin Laden, but they soon likely will. Do you have a message for the American people?

 

 

I say to them that they have put themselves at the mercy of a disloyal government, and this is most evident in Clinton's administration....

Lopez: In sum, how many times did Bill Clinton lose bin Laden?

Miniter: Here's a rundown. The Clinton administration:

1. Did not follow-up on the attempted bombing of Aden marines in Yemen.

2. Shut the CIA out of the 1993 WTC bombing investigation, hamstringing their effort to capture bin Laden.

3. Had Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, a key bin Laden lieutenant, slip through their fingers in Qatar.

4. Did not militarily react to the al Qaeda bombing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

5. Did not accept the Sudanese offer to turn bin Laden.

6. Did not follow-up on another offer from Sudan through a private back channel.

7. Objected to Northern Alliance efforts to assassinate bin Laden in Afghanistan.

8. Decided against using special forces to take down bin Laden in Afghanistan.

9. Did not take an opportunity to take into custody two al Qaeda operatives involved in the East African embassy bombings. In another little scoop, I am able to show that Sudan arrested these two terrorists and offered them to the FBI. The Clinton administration declined to pick them up and they were later allowed to return to Pakistan.

10. Ordered an ineffectual, token missile strike against a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory.

11. Clumsily tipped off Pakistani officials sympathetic to bin Laden before a planned missile strike against bin Laden on August 20, 1998. Bin Laden left the camp with only minutes to spare.

12-14. Three times, Clinton hesitated or deferred in ordering missile strikes against bin Laden in 1999 and 2000.

15. When they finally launched and armed the Predator spy drone plane, which captured amazing live video images of bin Laden, the Clinton administration no longer had military assets in place to strike the archterrorist.

16. Did not order a retaliatory strike on bin Laden for the murderous attack on the USS Cole.

Thanks Mia T for the ping. Another great effort and warning re the damage done; and the threat posed, by the Clintonites. . .the 'Left' et al. I do hope your work - somehow - gets recognition beyond the 'far and the wide' world of Free Republic!

As to your comments . . .[ The Bush camp has failed miserably here... and it continues to fail. When the Bushies finally do (occasionally) respond, their answers are much too oblique and genteel. . .The Bushies must understand that this campaign is not an exercise in personal loyalty or achievement; it is a collective loyalty to the Constitution. Bush swore to preserve, protect and defend it.]. . .

Could not agree more, Mia; and this has been one of my biggest concerns/peeves/gripes and disappointments, re the 'Presidents Bush' and in general, Republicans who just feel compelled to 'make nice' as they wipe another shot of Demrat spit out of their eyes or off the pages of our Constitution.

I am well past understanding that our Repubs want to be better than that; or their just not realizing that collective America and the authors of our Constitution deserve a response to these attacks that are equal to the threat they pose. It is beyond infuriating; and it is demoralizing.

But the enemies of America deserve to hear the harshest truth. We deserve to hear the truth, if only calmly, from our leaders, of those who arrogantly and determinedly, define themselves as our enemies here at home.

Many similarities, beyond the metaphor, as it relates to our war on terrorism. But then; 'war is war' and our enemies, are just that.

In my heart of hearts; believe if GW has not taken the 'gentle path'- which he walked for his campaign against Gore; then Florida could not or would not - have happened. And felt the same re his Father; as he campaigned against Bill Clinton; imagine a different ending.

But hey; Life happens!

Thanks Mia T. and a bump included, of course. ;^)

The man is beyond belief. Here we have the usual sniveling self-congatulatory leftist in Effington on one hand and krinton, the rapist-sociopath, on the other.

Forget a return to morals. Forget saving the Republic. What we really need is to graduate more well trained shrinks.

Bush is asking the wrong questions....

The overriding issue is not about matters personal. Bush's personal ambition (or lack thereof)... or personally loyalty... must not cloud the calculus.

The overriding issue is this: Will President George W. Bush remain loyal to the Constitution?

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution

Preserving, protecting and defending America is the president's only charge.

We are facing annihilation now because, frankly, Dubya's dad, similarly indisposed to the notions of the street fight and a larger collective loyalty, enabled the election of clinton, profoundly, dysfunctionally, self-servingly dangerous in much the same way Kerry is profoundly, dysfunctionally, self-servingly dangerous.

Worse still, George H.W. Bush allowed the election of someone he KNEW TO A CERTAINTY was profoundly, dysfunctionally, self-servingly dangerous.

George W. Bush must put aside the personal... and all conservatives must put aside the provincial. Winning this apocalyptic war is all that matters now.

THE CLINTONS--AMERICA'S BIGGEST BLUNDER
Hear Bush 41 Warn Us--October 19, 1992*

CNN's favorite general, Wesley Clark, has also been heard to opine that our troops are getting bogged down in Iraq. His competence to judge American generals is questionable since his command was limited to working for NATO. We prefer to hear from American generals. Clark's contribution to international relations consisted of mistakenly bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. In his zeal to prevent troop casualties, he ordered pilots to fly at such high altitudes that the pilots complained that they were being forced to incur unnecessary civilian casualties.

LEHRER: President Bush, your closing statement, sir.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Three weeks from now--two weeks from tomorrow, America goes to the polls and you're going to have to decide who you want to lead this country ...

On foreign affairs, some think it's irrelevant. I believe it's not. We're living in an interconnected world...And if a crisis comes up, ask who has the judgment and the experience and, yes, the character to make the right decision?

And, lastly, the other night on character Governor Clinton said it's not the character of the president but the character of the presidency. I couldn't disagree more. Horace Greeley said the only thing that endures is character. And I think it was Justice Black who talked about great nations, like great men, must keep their word.

And so the question is, who will safeguard this nation, who will safeguard our people and our children? I need your support, I ask for your support. And may God bless the United States of America.

(Applause)

"Worse still, George H.W. Bush allowed the election of someone he KNEW TO A CERTAINTY was profoundly, dysfunctionally, self-servingly dangerous."

You know, I do think Bush was blinded by his own 'goodness' here.

He surely knew Clinton's reputation; and think that in even the wildest of his ruminations re the 'Clinton sleeze factor'; could the gentle/refined Bush imagine a 'President Clinton'. Believe that Bush assumed that Clinton was 'over-reaching'; and that America could/would see; what so many already knew.

Of course, by the time the realization of Clinton succeeding had set in; it was too late. . .

GW can have no such illusions about the nature of our enemy or the kind of battle that he must be engaged. (A few lost rounds with Kennedy, should have been enough of a wake-up call for Bush - but still; he wears the soft gloves). I hope behind the scenes,there is more than meets our eye here.

That said. . .you hit the nail on the head perfectly:

"winning recipe for Bush: add a dollop of New York street fighter..."

And yes, it is not simply a choice; but a duty required. . .

[Mia T]

click on the apple.

Bush 1 knew.

But his warning about clinton and national security was too oblique, too genteel.

He should have said, it was his DUTY to say: "This aberration is a danger to our national security."
