Bill Clinton Posing For Legacy Protection
"I desperately wish, that I had been president when the FBI and CIA finally confirmed, officially, that bin Laden was responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. Then we could have launched an attack on Afghanistan early. I don’t know if it would have prevented 9/11, but it certainly would have complicated it."
"Oh, Bill, Bill, Bill. Everybody knew it was Bin Laden. You knew it was Bin Laden at the time. Richard Clarke in his book says you specifically ruled out military action after the Cole in October 2000 because you wanted to try once again to get an Israel-Palestinian peace deal. Get real. Oh, wait, I'm talking about Bill Clinton here."
Interesting that Clinton's "preemptive exercise in legacy protection" comes on the heels of revelations about "Able Danger".
Newly declassified documents show that the State Dept. warned the Clinton administration in July 1996 that Osama bin Laden's move from Sudan to Afghanistan would give him an even more dangerous haven as he sought to expand radical Islam "well beyond the Middle East," but the government chose not to deter the move.
Oh, Bill, Bill, Bill.
