Clinton: I Would Have Attacked Bin Laden

Ex-president Bill Clinton now says he would have taken out Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks – if only the FBI and CIA had been able to prove the al-Qaida mastermind was behind the attack on the U.S.S. Cole.

"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," Clinton tells New York magazine this week. "Then we could have launched an attack on Afghanistan early."

And then what???? That would not have stopped the 9-11 attacks which were well in process long before that. That would have made the 9-11 attacks almost a justifiable retaliation for war.

"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,"

_______

How much to you want to bet that Able Danger was around at this time too? How much more do you want to wager that the same Klintoon lawyers kept what the Military knew away from the FBI and CIA. That they knew that Al-Qaida was in the US ready to go.

You want your conspiracy theory? The Klintoon's were waiting for Al-Gore to take over, then pass the information to round up Al-Qaida. This would be the "long time triumph of our rat lead intel agencies" and not our Military.

The only thing was that Al-Gore lost. Full knowing that Al-Qaida was here and ready to attack, Klintoon's and Al-Gore were silent. They knew what could happen, but did not pass that information on to the Bush administration. They hoped that a terrorist attack would weaken Republican support and the Bush would be a one termer.

Probably inoculating themselves from the forthcoming revelations of the Able Danger team.

Sorry, but he's just like Jimmah C. Failed presidency + too much time = revisionist image burnishing. It's a Dumocrat thing.

What a sorry waste of oxygen. This fricking pervert installed ( or allowed his wife to install) Gorelick who was probably as responsible for 9/11 as the guys who flew the planes. Now he has the gall to even discuss this topic.
Lets all cheer for BLOW JOB BILLY and his legacy.

IMPOSSIBLE. Gorelick "wall" prevented Military/Civilian communication of intelligence."

To protect (obstruct detection and correlation) the N. Korea, Chinese Lawrence Livermore connections? The illegal campaign contributions (Buddhist temple) connection? To protect Mena, Ark. operations and political contribution connections? Corruption in HUD under Ron Brown? ETC., ETC., ETC.?

Is is possible the Gorelick Hindlick was used for this with teasings of an AG appointment to under Gore?

Bingo. I think that's exactly what he's doing. What makes me crazy is that so many stupid people just hang on every word out of his lying mouth.
