Clinton never turned down a dollar. So who got the benefit of the non-action? Let's see, didn't he hit non-targets with those cruise missiles?

If that info would have hammered binLaden's bank account; and Clinton turned it down, was there some protection going on?

There's a reason some powerful people in the intelligence community didn't want to be in possession of it. The only rational (rational, but evil) reason I can come up with is that the decision maker[s] didn't want certain members of our own intelligence community to know who these people are/were because those certain members can't/couldn't be trusted to keep their mouths shut.

And who else do we know has an active presence in the Sudan? Does not pursuing Islamic radicals in the Sudan benefit China, by any chance?

From the Article: They included photographs, and information on their families, backgrounds and contacts. Most were 'Afghan Arabs', Saudis, Yemenis and Egyptians who had fought with bin Laden against the Soviets in Afghanistan.

The rational reason for not wanting the Sudanese dossiers is that the CIA and MI6 already had the information.

Is this the Twilight Zone or what?

No it's called the Clinton Administration.
They murdered Vince Foster.
They murdered Ron Brown.
They threatened Kathleen Willey's life.
They discredited Juanita Broadrick.
They smeared Jennifer Flowers.
They gave China our most sophisticated ICBM guidance technology in exchange for campaign contributions.
They gave China our most sophisticated multiple re-entry warhead technology for campaign contributions.
He told the MTV kids that our forefathers were a bunch of radicals with radical ideas.
He told the MTV kids that too much freedom is dangerous and freedom needs to be curtailed.
He "promised" that we would only be in Bosnia for one year.
He lied to a Grand Jury.
And on and on and on....

9/11 is nothing. Won't even be a footnote when the "Legacy" has finally played out. I've been saying for over a year that their legacy will ultimately take billions, not millions, billions of lives. Believe it!

Analogy from me , albeit poor .........Sadly just as if a medical lab cures cancer they are unemployed and donations to cure cancer stop. Now, just as Counterrorist and Intelligence Agencies depend on a threat for "income" well I'm of the opinion they and the socialist's within goobermint will always do a half assed job so they can keep theirs per se......

Wack opinion on my part ???, maybe...... but then who'd have ever thought we'd see what we did this month........

Ya'll Stay Safe...

That would be a rational reason for not investing great resources in trying to obtain it, but not for rejecting it when offered. You accept it, review it, see whether it adds to your knowledge/understanding (but I agree with you that they already knew most of it.)

Refusing to accept it is powerful evidence of evil intent on the part of the decision-makers, whoever they were, and I'm not willing to assume it was only Clinton

Thanks. Clinton's "irrational hatred" is more like covering up for his buddies. He didn't want anyone looking into any of this. He was in cahoots with anyone who could be used to harm this country, or our interests.

Thanks for the flag but I already knew we could blame everything on Bill Clinton.

Regards, guy.

In 1996, following intense pressure from Saudi Arabia and the US, Sudan agreed to expel bin Laden and up to 300 of his associates. Sudanese intelligence believed this to be a great mistake.

'There we could keep track of him, read his mail,' the source went on. 'Once we kicked him out and he went to ground in Afghanistan, he couldn't be tracked anywhere.'

I'm not sure whether this is true. Why didn't they off him when they could "read his mail"?

I used to think that the United States was strong enough to survivive 8 years of a Marxist traitor as President. It scares me to death to think that I was wrong. It pisses me off to think of the media that suported him. Americans can make great political decisions if given the truth. This article makes me feel nauseous. I have always said that clinton should be dangeling from the end of a rope. The treasonous acts just keep on showing up.

I have an opinion of Clinton that is lower than whale shit. But if what you said proved to be true then I could not express my thoughts without the possibility of going to prison.

Profanity isn't welcome here. Sh*t is authorized; do you see the difference?

You need to be careful about writing your true feelings. I'm just trying to help you out here.
