WASHINGTON — The State Department warned the Clinton administration in July 1996 that Usama bin Laden's (search) move to Afghanistan would give him more fertile ground to spread radical Islam, according to newly declassified documents.

The documents, released by the legal advocacy group Judicial Watch on Wednesday, say that bin Laden would feel comfortable moving from Sudan to Afghanistan, which "has become an even more desirable location for extremists. Afghanistan may be an ideal haven as long as bin Laden can continue to run his businesses and financial networks."

There is an unseen hand here guiding this story and Able Danger and I'm having trouble figuring out who it is..

Yep.

And this story is not going away.

The big secret is that Democrats who are sick of the Clintons are the ones who are going to push it.

What is strange is these new documents could have been declassified last year....why was it DONE right in the middle of Able Danger breaking to the surface.

O'Reilly covered this tonight.

He asked Warren Christopher to respond and/or appear on his show and Christopher refused.


the other clown Richard "Nutbar" Clarke is also mysteriously quiet, you all remember he denied in his book that that there was any "heads up" on bin Laden...liar, liar, pants of fire!

Hey, lighten up!! An "honest" politician is one who stays bought! Willie was taking Iraqi oil voucher money through his Swiss friend, Marc Rich, in return for making sure that OBL didn't get hurt. OBL was tipped twice, IIRC, and avoided a US ordnance test both times.

My opinion is that Willie has had a secret Swiss bank account since the Soviets set it up for him in 1963. Saudi and Iraqi money flowed into that account all through the mid and late 90s.

We need to revisit Foster's trips to Switzerland. He would have traveled under a diplomatic passport in whatever name, and would have been able to make deposits/withdrawals at Willie's whim.

Sure, Berger stole proof. But, there has to be other detail and honest people who will help put Hillie and Willie in jail!

Yeah, I know Judicial Watch is responsible for this part. I was talking more about the *Mr. Big* of Who and WHY NOW. And I owe JW an apology for my previous reply. THIS is an important part of the puzzle.

O'Reilly covered this tonight.

I was happy to see O'Reilly cover this tonight and the CIA man he had on (can't remember his name) was good too. However I was very disappointed with Chris Wallace, who was subbing for Britt Hume (please come back Britt) tonight and there was not one mention of Able Danger on Special Report. To top things off during the panel they were discussing gas prices (and not Able Danger) and Wallace actually suggested we might be headed for a recession. For a moment I thought I had accidentally changed the station to CBS or something.

Hell, Sandy Burglar is just a stupid "soldier" from the Clintonista ranks....
The Feds are too cowered to push the fat bastard into telling the truth....

Too many "rainmakers" could be exposed as being incompetent or instrumental in putting the nation at risk and covering up much that was done by Islamists and denied.

The Clinton administration moved forward, much of the stupid and ignorant practices of the Carter Administration..
Clinton/Carter will go down as perhaps the two most disastrous administrations in our history...

Semper Fi
