Osama Bin Laden was the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks that killed 2,977 Americans. There are still first responders to this day that are living with illnesses they contracted by breathing in the debris from those building. It was a horrendous attack on American soil and according to a recent documentary it very well could have been avoided had Slick Willy allowed the CIA to take out Osama Bin Laden
“A new documentary reveals that the U.S. had an opportunity to kill Usama bin Laden in the 1990s after tracking his location with the help of Afghan tribal informants, but were unable to do so because of an order signed by then-President Bill Clinton.
That order allowed the CIA to engage in “lethal activity” against the Al Qaeda leader, but the purpose of the strike could not be to kill him.
“We were being asked to remove this threat to the United States essentially with one hand tied behind our backs,” said now-former CIA station chief Bob Grenier in Showtime’s “The Longest War.”
“According to director Greg Barker, “It’s hard to believe now, but back in the late ‘90s, most of the Washington national security establishment—including President Clinton, the State Department, the Department of Defense—simply did not view Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda as a serious threat. The handful of U.S. officials who saw the looming threat clearly—and there were some, mostly mid-level officers at the CIA’s bin Laden unit and the counter-terrorism branch at the FBI—tried in vain to raise alarm bells at the highest levels, but were often ignored and even ridiculed.”
Clinton claimed it was because there would have been civilian casualties.
“I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I just didn’t do it,” Clinton confessed to an Australian audience just 10 hours before two planes struck the World Trade Center.”
It sounds like there were missed opportunities here. It looks like Clinton was just trying to cover his butt when he said that there would have been 300 casualties if they had gone after Bin Laden. If the CIA was following him it seems like there must have been other opportunities that would have allowed for far fewer civilian casualties or none whatsoever. If the CIA had not been restrained our country would likely never have had to face such a tragedy. If only we had had stronger leadership instead of a president infatuated with his intern.
And you wonder why Hillary and Bill aren’t in Gitmo. Bill for his pussyfooting, and Hillary [obama] for the “Standdown orders on Benghazi”. Both are criminally negligent. How many have died because they “stepped on their toes”? So ,Bill, YOU are WORSE than Osama . Arkancide rules well for you doesn’t it?
For a few thousand dollar bribe, they could have found any number of Afghans that would have killed him without any political fallout.
Clinton, with EXACTLY THE SAME MINDSET, the US was 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE WORLDS PROBLEMS was ENTIRELY HAPPY to let osama obama been laudun live happily with his 37 wives
The clinton’s didn’t PAY bribes. They TOOK bribes
Congratulations, this was all out there then and not long afterward. The documentary, The Road to 9/11 cited Stephen Coll’s Ghost Wars for their Blueprint. Clinton missed 3 or 4 chances and if you read Buzz Patterson’s Dereliction of Duty they are corroborated from some one in the room with Clinton, in fact I don’t think he could be more than 20 feet from Clinton, he was carrying the Nuclear Football. Clinton was a horrid President but Obama was worse for America though cut from the same ideology, the New Left and it’s offspring the New New Left, welcome to paradise.
Clinton was only interested in using his powers below the belt. Womanizing PIG.
He was too busy with some young intern
Ben laden must have donated to his campaign, payback as usual. Pay to play.
IN OTHER WORDS IF CLINTON WOULD HAVE TOOK BIN LADEN OUT IT MIGHT HAVE KILLED 300 OF BIN LADEN’S PEOPLE SO IT WAS BETTER TO LET HIM TAKE OUT 3,000 OF OUR PEOPLE …WOW!!! WHAT A GOOD LEADER ALMOST AS GOOD AS OBUMMER !!!! BTW DID OBUMMER GIVE CLINTON A MEDAL ALSO OR WERE THOSE MEDALS FOR JUST PEDOPHILES ,RAPIST AND GAY’S ???
Soros and his minions the NAZI Commie liberal party, Fake news, Antifa, CIA, FBI, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, The useful idiots, RINOs etc…are responsible for this rioting and destruction throughout the country. This treasonous act should not go unpunished! It’s about time these deep State rats are held accountable! Patriots, we need to save the country from turning into another Commie shit hole just like all the other lib run cities!!
Clinton was to busy skirt chasing during hi terms. That tragic day could have been avoided. Today , 20 years later, both the Clintons still want to be noticed. Both need to be locked up.
This has been known for several years now . Clinton had Bin Laden targeted at a hunting camp in the Saudi Desert . Cruise missiles were to have been launched from U.S. Submarines that could have taken him out long before 9/11 but Clinton balked as a Saudi flagged aircraft was at the site . Saudi , a supposed ally yet at the same time Bin Ladin allegedly had a price on his head by the Saudi’s . So now either our supposed ally is either lying or playing both sides of the fence as it were , or Bill Clinton and company know much more than they want us to know . At any rate the Bin Ladin / al-Qaida threat info was never passed on to the in coming Bush administration that there was the possibility of a major attack in the works . To many coincidences here to be mere chance especially since the intelligence community was picking up all sorts of threat rumors of a possible major attack . Gotta wonder just how much the Clinton Cartel got paid for science on this one
