Catastrophe Co-author Limbacher Tells O’Reilly Clinton Tries to Rewrite History.

NewsMax.com’s Carl Limbacher appeared on Fox’s "The O’Reilly Factor" last night to discuss the shocking story he and his co-author, NewsMax.com editor Chris Ruddy reveal in their new book, "Catastrophe – Clinton’s Role in America’s Worst Disaster.” Click Here to get this book FREE!

O’Reilly played a tape of Clinton telling CNN recently that he was virtually obsessed with Osama bin Laden during his presidency, and regretted he hadn’t taken the opportunity to seize the terrorist mastermind and bring him to the U.S. when he had the chance.

"We did a search from 1996 to 2000, Clinton’s last term to see how many time Clinton mentioned the name of bin Laden – the man he says he was obsessed with," O’Reilly revealed. The result: Clinton mentioned bin Laden a mere "six times! In four years!”

Limbacher scoffed at Clinton’s CNN claims: "I think this is history being revised before our very eyes – Clinton made the same claim that he was obsessed with bin Laden in this February speech [which Limbacher caught on tape], but it’s claimed by numerous accounts that not only was he not particularly obsessed, he wasn’t particularly interested in taking opportunities to remove bin Laden from the picture.”

Backing up that assertion, Limbacher said "We have the accounts of White House insiders like Dick Morris, we have Mansour Ijaz who was involved in the negotiations to bring bin Laden from Sudan to the U.S. and he says that Bill Clinton turned down that deal.”

Limbacher played the tape he made of Clinton’s speech last February where the former president admits he had a chance to nab bin Laden and bring him to the U.S., and now regrets he didn’t.

O’Reilly noted that Clinton said he didn’t have any legitimate reason to seize bin Laden at the time, and. asked if in the light of that, the former president wasn’t justified in foregoing the chance to bring him to the U.S. as a prisoner.

"If you want the guy and Sudan says we’ll give him to you, you’ve got to have a reason to hold him,” O’Reilly said. "What would that reason have been?”

Said Limbacher: "That administration didn’t have a particularly strong objection when it came to the rule of law in past cases – they indicted Billy Dale in Travelgate at the drop of a hat, they used a very slender pretext to launch missiles into Afghanistan and the Sudan in 1998 and we now know that Janet Reno recommended against that – they were able to commit acts of war without enough evidence to even indict the guy and yet when it came a chance to bring him over here and try to let the courts sort it out later he wouldn’t do it.”

Limbacher added that he thought the administration’s "sharp lawyers’ would have found a way to do it.

And had they done it, he could have added, there most probably would not have been a 9-11 and almost 3,000 innocent people killed.

It’s obvious, O’Reilly told Limbacher, that "Clinton is trying to revise history.” He complimented Limbacher and NewsMax.com for having captured Clinton’s admission that he failed to take advantage of the opportunity to capture bin Laden on tape, and for making it public.

Clinton's parting gift to Bush?
Poking the Taliban hornet's nest...and running:

"Today, the United Nations removed all its remaining relief workers from the country, fearing a backlash from the Taliban, who will be almost completely isolated diplomatically when the resolution takes effect in 30 days, a grace period during which the Taliban could avoid sanctions by meeting the Council's demands." UN, Dec. 20th...2000.

Why did Clinton wait until Dec. 19th, 2000 to push the UN for tougher sanctions against the Taliban?

Clinton's 1999 State Dept. Report on Terrorism shows that his administration knew much about the international terrorist threat....complete with weapons, locations, history of terrorist actions, etc. The UN understood the danger...they pulled their own people out the same day they issued the new threat.

On Dec. 18th, 2000, the electoral college elected President Bush, officially ending the lengthy 2000 election. On Dec. 19th, Clinton went to the UN to push for tougher sanctions on our most deadly enemy. On Dec. 20th, the UN reluctantly issued the threat with the 30 day grace period....to go into effect Jan. 19 th, 2001 - President Bush's inaugeration eve.

Other Clinton gifts left for the new President:
Clinton's peace proposals, which he unveiled at a meeting in Washington last week, call for a Palestinian state in 95 percent of the West Bank and all of the Gaza Strip. They also envision Palestinian control over Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem and the Temple Mount area, which is in the eastern part of the city.
CNN, Dec. 24, 2000.

And more:
Last minute regs. putting ANWR and more than 5.6 million acres of federal land and our resources essentially off limits, signing the "Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000" (the "Act") on December 21, 2000..."record funding" - 5 years worth, killed the program created by Congress in 1999 to allow imports of low-cost prescription drugs, repealed the "tough new ethics rules" regarding lobbying he imposed on senior White House staff and other high-level administration appointees when he came into office, chose the UN over US sovereignty by signing us onto the ICC, changed arsenic level regs. for drinking water (and destroyed the "scientific evidence")...among the added 30,000 pages of new federal regulations, awarded $1 billion in grants for inner city housing, relaxed export controls on military grade computers, vandalized government property, appointed 21 of his own Dems. to protect our nation from cybersecurity threats- including Gore advisor Jack Quinn and Wellington Webb.

Just three weeks before his scheduled return to private life, Clinton instructed White House domestic policy aide Bruce Reed and economic chief Gene Sperling to "keep coming up with new ideas," according to Reed.

One morning at the nub end of Bill Clinton's presidency, Clinton chief of staff John Podesta walked into a senior staff meeting in the Roosevelt Room waving a copy of USA Today. Holding the paper aloft, Podesta read the headline out loud, "Clinton actions annoy Bush." The article detailed the new rules and Executive Orders the outgoing President was issuing in his final days, actions aimed in equal measure at locking in Clinton's legacy (in areas like environmental protection) and bedeviling his successor. "What's Bush so annoyed about?" Podesta asked with a devilish smile. "He's got four years to try to undo all the stuff we've done."
