Time Magazine recently printed a story about Clinton handing the
incoming Bush Administration a plan, but quickly that myth was
dispersed. Bush Administration officials denied ever getting any plan
only leaving us to conclude that Time Magazine was being spoon fed by
Clinton toadies. They turned a quick power point presentation with one
section whereby Clarke made a few suggestion into some elaborate plan
and blueprint for going after Al Qaeda. It was a 3 to 5 year roll
back.
Clinton did help the incoming Bush Administration by denying them
transition funds and forcing them to set up an office in Virginia and
run off of donations. Addtionally he looted and then vandalized the
White House. Bush has a plan crafted to eliminate Al Qaeda and did
approve it only days before 9-11 and it unfortunately was too late.
Above is the Smoking Gun. An audio of Bill Clinton admitting clearly
that he rejected his own Administration's preparation for an attack in
1999 or 2000. He offers the typical Clintonesque excuses saying it
simply wouldn't work.

AIM Report #18 - Clinton Tales of Getting Bin Laden
In recent commentaries we talked about how the Clinton administration
had actually helped support Osama bin Ladens al-Qaeda terrorist
organization. This was done partly through support of the Kosovo
Liberation Army, the KLA, in its war against Serbia. The core of the
KLA were radical Muslim Marxists who trafficked in heroin, and were
linked to bin Laden. It was also done, arguably, as a geopolitical
consideration, believing that the Taliban government of Afghanistan
served American interests as a check on Iran.
Clintons actions as president have come under close scrutiny as
journalists and politicians have begun to analyze how the U.S. was so
vulnerable to the September eleventh attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon. Recent articles by the Associated Press and the
Philadelphia Inquirer have charged that the Clinton administration had
opportunities to eliminate bin Laden, but failed to do so. The
Inquirer article reported that the U.S. had for years both "the
knowledge and capability to kill...bin Laden." It said that American
special forces and CIA operatives had been in Afghanistan, but were
prohibited by the White House from going after him.
Bin Ladens terrorist organization had been linked to the 1993 World
Trade Center bombing, and to the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies
in Kenya and Tanzania, for which he was indicted by the U.S.
government. Clinton signed a policy directive authorizing the CIA to
prepare a plan to get him. We attacked one of his camps in Afghanistan
with cruise missiles and reportedly killing some of his supporters.
Our missiles also destroyed an aspirin plant in Sudan owned by a Saudi
businessman. It was targeted because it was believed to be a
chemical-weapons plant owned by bin Laden.
The AP has reported that last December the Pentagon told President
Clinton that they knew the location of bin Laden and could take him
out. But Clinton decided it was too risky, and refused to authorize
such an action. Clinton was asked by Fox News if this was true. He
said it was not true and that his best shot was when he bombed bin
Ladens training camp in 98. Several days later he told the London
Times he had authorized bin Ladens capture or assassination two years
ago, but the intelligence information needed to carry it out was never
available.
Representative Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican from California, charged
in a speech on the House floor on September 17, that the Clinton
administration had secretly informed Pakistan and Saudi Arabia that it
would not try to overthrow the Taliban. He had tried in vain to
persuade the Clinton administration that this was a mistake and that
the U.S. should be supporting the Northern Alliance, which has
succeeded in keeping the Taliban from taking over all of Afghanistan.
Rohrabacher, an authority on Afghanistan, also said that he was going
to see White House officials on September 11 to warn them that the
Talibans assassination of Commander Massoud, the leader of the
Northern Alliance, meant that bin Laden was going to do something so
terrible that retaliation would be required. He was right, but his
warning was too late.

Under Clinton, we suffered 6 major attacks that were orchestrated by
Bin Laden.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and
injured 1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would
be hunted down and punished.
Bill Clinton warned America in his radio address that we should not
overreact to the 1993 WTC bombing. "I would discourage the American
people from overreacting to this," Clinton said.
Bill Clinton treated it as a petty criminal offense even though Bush
41 told him terrorists had declared war on America.
CIA director Woolsey now reveals that he never had a private personal
meeting with Clinton during the first two years of his tenure as head
of the CIA - exactly the key period in investigating the 1993 attack.
Bill Clinton did not visit the WTC towers.
Bill Clinton did not even make a public appearance on national
television.
Bill Clinton tried to stop a reward fund for the capture of terrorists
involved in the attack.
From the time President Clinton took office until May of 1995, a
Presidential Decision Directive, PDD 39, sat in the National Security
Council, in the In Box of one of the officials with no action taken.
The significance of PDD 39 is that it was the document defining what
the missions and roles were of combating terrorism.
Despite what happened at the World Trade Center in 1993, the Clinton
administration did not finally act on [PDD 39] until after the attack
in Oklahoma City.
The only reason for that is because in the two weeks prior to Oklahoma
City, the front page of both Newsweek and Time Magazine carried the
question: 'Is President Clinton Relevant?'
After the 1993 ambush in Somalia, which killed 19 and injured 84;
President Clinton just tucked tail and ran away.
On May 4, 1993, Clinton having taken office in January, U.S. Marine
Lt. Gen. Robert Johnston handed over control of the relief mission to
the UN. "It's all yours," he told the new UN commander, a Turkish
general, as he departed with most of his U.S. troops in tow.
Bill Clinton sent U.S. Army Rangers on a highly risky mission to take
out Aidid. Aidid militia were not Somali but members of bin Laden's Al
Qaeda network, who were deployed in his Mogadishu bases.
Bill Clinton denied the Pentagon a request for armor support.
After botching the whole mission, Clinton pulled out and Bin Laden
took notice of that.
Bill Clinton even gave the target of the mission, Aidid, a marine
guard after the botched mission to capture him.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S.
military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19
and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Bill Clinton cared so little that his own assistant secretary of
state, Dick Holbrooke, had trouble getting him to pay attention to
warnings about the impending attack on the Khobar Towers.
After the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia in 1996, Clinton had
Dick Morris take a poll. "We tested 'peacemaker' or 'toughness,'" York
quotes Morris as recalling. The public preferred toughness. "So
Clinton talked tough." But the FBI director, Louis Freeh, became so
exasperated by Clinton's failure to raise the matter with Saudi
officials that he actually asked former President George Bush to do so
instead.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224
and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
Clinton used American tax dollars to pay for the trucks used in the
embassy bombings. (See Below)
The U.S. State Department thwarted an investigation into two suspects
in the Aug. 7. 1998, bombing of the U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, which had killed more than 250 people,
including 12 Americans, according to reports from MSNBC news filed on
July 29.
Clinton was more concerned with obstructing justice than doing
anything about such a grave terrorist attack.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39
U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted
down and punished.
Shortly after the bombing of the Cole, Clinton had an opportunity to
take Bin Laden out and refused to. (See Below)
A Pentagon intelligence expert on terrorism in the Persian Gulf has
told Congress that he warned of possible terrorist attacks on U.S.
forces.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise and got Bin Laden, 3,000 people
in New York, Washington, D.C., and the Heros of Flight 93 that are now
dead would be alive today and we wouldn't have lost 290 people along
with more than 6,323 people that had been injured on his watch.
Under Clinton, at least three opportunities to have Bin Laden handed
over to the U.S. were rejected inexplicably.
According to the Sunday Times of London, Clinton himself said his
refusal to accept the offer to hand over Bin Laden was the "Biggest
Mistake" of his presidency.
According to anonymous sources in the CIA, Clinton did not want Bin
Laden arrested.
The intelligence officials, both of whom were involved in secret
negotiations between Washington and Khartoum to take bin Laden into
custody, offered the damning accounts to New York's Village Voice.
A U.S. intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, this
week called the Clinton administration's decision to pass up a chance
to arrest Osama bin Laden in 1996 a "disgrace," saying "somebody
didn't want this to happen."
A second intelligence official, also speaking anonymously,
corroborated the charge that there was a deliberate effort to let bin
Laden escape from the Sudan to Afghanistan, saying "somebody let this
slip up."
The second official lamented that the U.S. lost a treasure trove of
intelligence on the elusive al-Qaeda chief when it let him slip away.
"It was not a matter of arresting bin Laden but of access to
information," he told the Voice.
The first instance they cite was Sudans offer to extradite bin Laden
in 1996. The Clinton administration turned them down, saying there
wasnt enough evidence to convict him in an American court. Originally
this was denied by administration officials, but according to the
Times, senior sources from within the administration now confirm it
was true. In the January issue of Vanity Fair magazine, former
ambassador to Sudan, Timothy Carney, confirmed it, saying it had
serious implications regarding the U.S. embassy bombings in 1998, and
that "the U.S. lost access to a mine of material on bin Laden and his
organization."
The second offer the Times article details involved Mansoor Ijaz, a
Pakistani-American who contributed to Clintons presidential campaign
and served as a go-between for the administration and various powers
in the Middle East. Ijaz presented an exchange of e-mails as evidence
to prove that he had in fact met with Clinton officials and
intelligence officers from the United Arab Emirates, who were offering
to help to deliver bin Laden to the U.S. Ijaz says the deal was blown
when Clinton sent his top counterterrorism adviser to meet the Arab
leaders directly rather than continue to go through back channels.
The third offer, described as mysterious, was said to come from Saudi
Arabian intelligence agencies. It was said to involve putting a
tracking device in the luggage of bin Ladens mother during a visit to
her son in Afghanistan, but it too was turned down. Richard Shelby,
the highest ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence committee,
said he was aware of a Saudi offer to help, but was not able to talk
about the specifics.
Under Clinton, there were several opportunities to take out Bin Laden,
but her refused to authorize them.
Shortly after September 11th, articles by the AP and the Philadelphia
Inquirer charged that the Clinton administration had chances to take
out bin Laden, but refused to authorize it.
In the waning days of the Clinton presidency, senior officials
received specific intelligence about the whereabouts of Osama bin
Laden and weighed a military plan to strike the suspected terrorist
mastermind's location. The administration ultimately opted against an
attack.
The information spurred a high-level debate inside the White House in
December 2000 about whether the classified information provided the
last best chance for President Clinton to punish bin Laden before he
left office, the officials said.
"There were a couple of points, including in December, where there was
intelligence indicative of bin Laden's whereabouts. But I can
categorically tell you that at no point was it ripe enough to act,"
former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger told The Associated
Press.
In May 1996, the Sudanese capitulated to U.S. pressure and asked Bin
Laden to leave, despite their feeling that he could be monitored
better in Sudan than elsewhere.
Another golden opportunity to eliminate Bin Laden was after he had
been expelled from Sudan. He flew in a plane to Afghanistan and his
plane could have easily been taken out.
Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic told the U.N. tribunal
Tuesday that Osama bin Laden was in Albania in 2000 and that the
Clinton Administration had discussed it with him.
And still, Clinton lies and says his 1998 'Wag the Dog' move firing
cruise misiles at an aspirin factory and 14 dollar tents, was the
"best chance" we had to get Bin Laden.
On Aug. 20, 1998, three days after half-confessing to lying about
Monica Lewinsky and the day she testified before a federal grand jury,
former President Clinton declared bin Laden the world's most dangerous
terrorist.
Bill Clinton has made a series of public statements claiming his
administration came close to killing bin Laden during a cruise-missile
raid in 1998.
Touring the rubble of lower Manhattan on September 13, Clinton said,
"The best shot we had at him was when I bombed his training camps in
1998. We just missed him by a matter of hours, maybe even less than an
hour."
A few days later, on NBC, Clinton said, "We had quite good
intelligence that he and his top lieutenants would be in his training
camp. So I ordered the cruise-missile attacks, and we didn't tell
anybody, including the Pakistanis, whose airspace we had to travel
over, until the last minute. And unfortunately we missed them,
apparently not by very long....We never had another chance where the
intelligence was as reliable to justify military action."
But one of Clinton's top military commanders, who was deeply involved
in the Afghanistan operation, has a different recollection. In an
interview with National Review Online, retired general Anthony Zinni,
commander of U.S. forces in the region at the time, described the 1998
cruise-missile raid as a "million-to-one-shot."
"There was a possibility [bin Laden] could have been there," Zinni
recalls. "My intelligence people did not put a lot of faith in
that....As I was given this mission to do, I did not see that anyone
had any degree of assurance or reliability that that was going to
happen."
George W. Bush has made it clear he sees the action as a model of how
not to strike back at terrorism. "When I take action, I'm not going to
fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the
butt," Bush reportedly told a group of senators. "It's going to be
decisive."
Refer to above for even more damaging facts that Clinton was offered
Bin Laden on a platter silver platter at least three times and had
several opportunities to take out Bin Laden and refused to do so.
Also, Clinton ordered the military to pump as many as 20 Tomahawk
missiles into what he said was a chemical-weapons plant in Sudan
financed by bin Laden. It turned out to be a pill plant owned by a
Saudi businessman to whom the administration later had to pay $1
million in interest for seizing his plant.
Intelligence officials at the time expressed reservations about
including the plant on the target list. Clinton picked the target
himself.
"Clinton knew it wouldn't work in Afghanistan. It was a public-affairs
move," the Pentagon official said, arguing that bombing is an
extremely unreliable way to destroy a terrorist cell or assassinate
its leader. "If he hit him [bin Laden], he would have been lucky."
The mission, which used some 80 missiles at a price of about $750,000
apiece.
Under Clinton, we found that he supported Bin Laden and his network.
Bill Clinton's IRS pursued his personal enemies with great enthusiasm
- auditing Billy Dale, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Juanita
Broaddrick and dozens more - America's enemies, it seems, got a free
pass from the same agency.
At least 16 U.S.-based non-profit entities have been linked
financially to bin Laden.
The Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA), has been directly linked to
earlier attacks on U.S. interests by bin Laden.
IARA reportedly transferred money to Mercy International, another
non-profit Muslim organization that purchased vehicles used by Osama
bin Laden to bomb the U.S. embassies in both Kenya and Tanzania on
August 8, 1998.
The Clinton State Department showered the IARA with $4.2 million in
grants.
The Clinton administration shut down a 1995 investigation of Islamic
charities, concerned that a public probe would expose Saudi Arabia's
suspected ties to a global money-laundering operation that raised
millions for anti-Israel terrorists, federal officials told The
Washington Times.
Bill Clinton's abuse of the military that included bombing Yugoslavia
to distract from the scandals, China-gate and the rape of Juanita
Broaddrick, strengthened Bin Ladens terrorist movement and its
position in the Balkans and actually involved the U.S. allying itself
with Bin Laden's KLA, which is a faction of Al Qaeda.
A story by Jerry Seper in the Washington Times on May 4, 1999,
reported, "Some members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, which has
financed its war effort through the sale of heroin, were trained in
terrorist camps run by international fugitive Osama bin Ladenwho is
wanted in the 1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa that killed
224 persons, including 12 Americans."
Seper said that newly obtained intelligence reports showed that the
KLA had enlisted Islamic terrorists in its conflict with Serbia and
that bin Laden's organization, known as al-Qaeda, had both trained and
financially supported the KLA, which had been labeled a terrorist
group by a Clinton State Department official.
President Clinton incubated the Taliban regime in Afghanistan for at
least three years, despite the fact that it was harboring Osama bin
Laden, was responsible for growing 60 percent of the world's heroin
and denied basic human rights to the nation.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., says he was belittled, stonewalled
and ridiculed for three years for asserting the congressional
oversight role in the formulation of foreign policy toward Afghanistan
during the last term of the Clinton administration.
Using his seat on the House International Affairs Committee,
Rohrabacher attempted, he says, for several years to secure
communiqués, cables and other State Department documents that would
reveal what was behind U.S. policy toward Kabul. He says he and his
committee were "stonewalled" and "belittled" in all their attempts.
According to Rohrabacher, the Clinton administration played a role in
creating the Taliban by giving a 'green light' to Pakistan, Saudi
Arabia, and other gulf states to fund, direct, and organize the
Taliban.
Rohrabacher said at one point on the house floor in a Sept. 17th
[1999] speech that the Clinton administration promised Pakistan and
Saudi Arabia that it wouldnt overthrow the Taliban according to the
UPI.
Robin Raphel, Clinton's assistant secretary of state for south Asia
affairs until mid-1997, is believed to be instrumental in the rise of
the Taliban.
One report suggested that several Islamic states expressed the belief
that Raphel and other U.S. officials along with Afghans in the U.S.
were on the payroll of Unocal's payroll. They cite that she provided a
fiery defense of Unocal and especially the Taliban in negotiations
with the Afghanistan government.
During such an encounter, Raphel's words -- in effect asking the
government to 'give it up."

A secret deal between the Clinton administration and terrorists linked
with Osama bin Laden led directly to the senseless slaughter of some
70 West European tourists and the wounding of hundreds, according to a
book written by a former congressional terrorism expert.
According to Yossef Bodansky, author of "Bin Laden: The Man Who
Declared War on America," a Central Intelligence Agency operative
dealing with Islamic terrorists on matters of security for the U.S.
forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina led them to believe President Clinton
would look the other way at attempts to overthrow Egypt's Hosni
Mubarak.
"If senior Islamicist terrorist leaders are to be believed, the
Clinton administration was willing to tolerate the overthrow of the
Mubarak government in Egypt and the establishment of an Islamist state
in its stead as an acceptable price for reducing the terrorist threat
to U.S. forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina," states the 1999 book, which has
been rushed into a new printing.
The tradeoff was reportedly raised in discussions between Egyptian
terrorist leader Ayman al-Zawahiri Osama bin Laden's right-hand man
and an Arab-American, Abu-Umar al-Amriki, known as a CIA emissary.
In that attack, terrorists wielding machine guns and knives massacred
nearly 70 tourists, most of them Swiss. For about 45 minutes, the
attackers mowed down unarmed, unsuspecting tourists in an attempt to
show the world that visitors were not safe in Mubarak's Egypt.
In addition to leading to the attack on the tourists, Bodansky writes,
the secret deal between the Clinton administration and the bin Laden
terrorist cell drove Mubarak into de facto cooperation with the
Islamist terror-sponsoring states against the United States. Shortly
afterwards, early in 1998, Egypt withheld support for the use of force
by the U.S. against Iraq.
The Clinton-Reno Justice Department refused to allow two veteran FBI
agents assigned to the anti-terrorist probe to investigate a key
figure tied to Osama bin Laden.
According to ABC News correspondent Brian Ross today, the two agents
told him they were ordered to stop investigations into a suspected
terror cell linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network and the Sept.
11 attacks.
FBI special agents Robert Wright and John Vincent told Ross they were
called off criminal investigations of suspected terrorists linked to
the deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. U.S. officials
say al-Qaeda was responsible for the embassy attacks and the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks in the United States.
"September the 11th is a direct result of the incompetence of the
FBI's International Terrorism Unit. No doubt about that. Absolutely no
doubt about that," Wright said. "You can't know the things I know and
not go public."
Noting that, with growing terrorism in the Middle East in the
mid-1990s, Wright and Vincent, then based in Chicago, were assigned to
track a connection to a suspected terrorist cell that would later lead
them to a link with Osama bin Laden. Wright told Ross that when he
pressed for authorization to open a criminal investigation into the
money trail, his supervisor stopped him.
Represented by Judicial Watch and former lead House impeachment
counsel David Schippers, agents Wright and Vincent have filed suit
against the Justice Department over the episode.
Under Clinton, Warnings about terrorist attacks were ignored.
CIA Director George Tenet refused on Wednesday to permit the
House-Senate Select Committee probe into the 9/11 attacks to release
information about intelligence briefings to the White House on
terrorist activities, including whether the president was briefed on
plots to use hijacked airliners as weapons.
Tenet's directive would cover whatever President Clinton was told
about a 1998 plan to load an airliner with explosives and crash it
into the World Trade Center.
"The director of central intelligence has declined to declassify two
issues of particular importance to this inquiry," Eleanor Hill, staff
director for the committee, told the panel.
"References to the intelligence community providing information to the
president or White House" would remain classified, Hill testified
during Wednesday's open hearing.
"According to [Tenet], the president's knowledge of intelligence
information relevant to this inquiry remains classified even when the
substance of intelligence information has been declassified," she
explained.
The identity of and information on a key al-Qaeda leader involved in
the Sept. 11 attacks would also stay classified, the committee
director said.
The classified information would include news of whether
then-President Clinton was tipped off about the 1998 plot involving
what Hill said was a "group of unidentified Arabs [who] planned to fly
an explosive-laden plane from a foreign country into the World Trade
Center."
The hijacking tip was given to the Federal Aviation Administration and
FBI. Neither agency acted on it. The mysterious Arab group may now be
linked to bin Laden, Hill said.
The 1998 terrorist plot to use airliners as flying bombs was one of 12
similar plans outlined by Hill that were uncovered by investigators
from 1994 through 2001.

Post by F***@peach.netPost by * US *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.
The GOP congress's failure to allow Clinton a free hand to deal with
the terrorists were consistently blocked.
Even a fuckwit non-thinking like you should take note----
During Clintons term, the public record clearly shows republican
opposition to ALL clinton's initiatives dealing with terrorism and
foriegn problems---from Korea to Serbia.
In Jan 2001----BUSH was apprised of the unfolding rise of
terrorism---and guess what BUSH did?
DO you remember?
Ignored it----and worked on TAX CUTS.
You cannot go back and knock clinton for what Republicans would not
help with---then when Bush ignored it and we got whacked---to then
claim "Clinton did it"
The GOP did NOT help clinton
