Every bin Laden special I've seen on cable since 911 has told of the passed up opportunity to kill bin Laden because there was some foreign prince (UAE?) that would have been killed in the explosion.
I didn't realize Clinton himself told of this story though in a post Presidential speech. Anyone know the date or have a link to Clinton's speech? There is so much being written about this subject now it would be very difficult to find it in a google search.
I've heard the audio of the Clinton speech telling how he cancelled out on getting Bin Laden. It must be on the web somewhere. Perhaps someone could provide a link.
Not sure when but the speech was given before an audience of small business owners on Long Island, New York. Sean Hannity has the tape and has played it many times.
It did happen. the Clintonoids are using the 'dramatization' as an excuse to bash it as having 'never happened'.
What they can't stand is docudramas like this do affect people, who typically dont watch history or political shows. The RATS know this will hurt them, and their chances to take back Congress. BTW, I think the MSM is in classic overreaching with their 'GOP doomed, Dems are going to take back Congress' mantra. It will be close, but the GOP has time to pull out a defensive win, keeping both the House and Congress. That, could likely be the big story election night. 'How Democrats blew their chance' and 'Bush wins big'. the MSM is already spinngin a GOP hold on Congress as a win for Bush, and a Dem retaking of congress as a direct repudiation of Bush's policies.

Actually, the reason he gives for not capturing Bin Laden is they didin't have a reason to hold him.
If anyone has it, it would be MiaT.
Anyone wishing to see live news footage from 9/11/01, Fox News is streaming the video from that day. Right now it's up to about 8:30 pm EDT. They may restart the stream at some point.
I don't know the exact date although, I do believe it was in a post this morning in FR. It was the thread about Clinton throwing a fit. I know it took place in Long Island. Maybe you could google Clinton and Long Island.
I don't have a link, but Hannity often plays an excerpt from a Clinton speech, talking about how the Sudan offered to hand bin Laden over to the U.S., but he didn't think we had any legal right to take him, so he begged the Saudis to take bin Laden, but they wouldn't...yadayadayada
