"I have heard from other CIA people that there was as many as a dozen incidents, missions, etc. where the will was not there to green-light the operation. And everybody was in place, whether it was a missile attack, a bomb run, an ambush of bin Laden by tribals on the ground, or that they had pinpointed him at Tarnak Farm or his hunting lodge.
There were numerous opportunities. We only focused on one. We used it as sort of an amalgamation of the numerous different opportunities because you can't show a dozen attempts in a movie; and I don't think a lot of people would have been happy if we did that either...."

9/11 Commission: Clinton Refused to Let CIA Kill Bin Laden
Announcing some of its preliminary findings on Wednesday, the 9/11 Commission has confirmed that President Clinton ordered the CIA to take Osama bin Laden alive or not at all - a directive that made the task of neutralizing the terrorist kingpin infinitely more difficult.
In a statement read at the beginning of Wednesday's session, 9/11 staffer Michael Hurley revealed:
"CIA senior managers, operators and lawyers uniformly said that they read the relevant authorities signed by President Clinton as instructing them to try to capture bin Laden.
"They believed that the only acceptable context for killing bin Laden was a credible capture operation. 'We always talked about how much easier it would have been to try to kill him,'" a former chief of the bin Laden station told the Commission.
"Working level CIA officers were frustrated by what they saw as the policy restraints of having to instruct their assets to mount a capture operation," the Commission statement said.
Commission staffer Hurley detailed one attempt to recruit indigenous Afghan forces in a bin Laden capture operation, explaining, "When Northern Alliance leader Massoud was briefed on the carefully worded instructions for him, the briefer recalled that Massoud laughed and said, 'You Americans are crazy. You guys never change.'"
... Last week NBC News quoted former CIA official Gary Schroen as saying that White House orders to spare bin Laden's life cut the chances of getting him in half, from 50 to 25 percent.
Schroen's revelation - now confirmed by the 9/11 Commission - was ignored by the mainstream press beyond its initial coverage by NBC.

Thanks for the ping...as always, your stuff is always top drawer! :-)
BTW, the writer does not appear to use his craft to advance any political agenda. His projects run the gamut politically.
thanx, nopardons :)

Clintoon gave Monica more time than BL.
The Democrats are howling because the ABC production did not follow the script of the 9/11 Commission. But the 9/11 Commission script doesn't follow historical reality.
He was more interested in nailing interns.
Gorelick (and Ben Veniste and Berger) made sure of that....
Gorelick's surreal presence on the 911 commission investigating Gorelick's Justice Department, a maneuver that effectively removes from the universe of witnesses a central witness, Gorelick, even as it uniquely positions a central player, Gorelick, to directly shape the commission's conclusions. (Is there any question which two people are responsible for Gorelick's insertion on the commission?)Conversely, that it never occurred to anyone on the commission that Gorelick's flagrant conflict of interest renders her presence on the commission beyond farce calls into question the commission's judgment if not its integrity. Washington's mutual protection racket writ large, I suspect....

Excellent work once again! It's like the old days of FR (yes, I was around then).
Seemingly we are at a point, a moment in history, where a majority of the rest of the world, and up to 49% of the US is suffering collective cognitive dissonance in regard to the nature of the world, as regards Islamic Jihadism (a variant of National Socialist passive agression), as regards the use of national power, and the nature of reality in general.
No doubt of course that the delusional fables engaged in by the Left are consciously spread by leaders who know the truth but see advantages in duming down the West for purposes of acquiring power themselves. People like Osama Bin Ladin, Sheik Omar, and Hillary Clinton for example.
The incredible challenge facing the rational, sane, healty minority of people who have not a) deliberately joined the dark side; or, b) succumbed to the intimidation of the MSM and other influential elites, is to function effectively in the face of a world gone mad.
The ABC drama was transparently as close to truth as one could get in the context of the medium and the time. The creators deviated from the 9/11 commission because in looking into their subject matter they found relevant truth was omitted by the 9/11 commission (though they did not by any means find all of the ommissions). Putting together what they found to be true from multiple reliable sources and without meaningful distortion they told the story that needs to be told, not merely the heroism of flight 93 or the personal drama of the 9/11 victims, but something truthful and important about the nature of the causes of 9/11. Who were these people, what were their motives and how were they able to carry out such a horror? Important questions that have rarely been discussed, by anyone in five years.
Now they are on the defensive, having to explain and justify a verifiable truth. The truth that the ultimate horror of 9/11 is that it was entirely unnecessary it did not have to happen. The FBI did not fail. The CIA did not fail. The airlines did not fail. The average American citizen did not fail. We were sold out by the likes of the Clintons, Sandy Berger, Allbright and Jamie Gorelick along with the ACLU and the rest of the nitpicking handwringing Left.
Responding to absurd charges of the Clintons, intended to distort and confuse the average citizen into not trusting their own perceptions when confronted by obvious truth such as the 9/11 tv movie, is an ineffective and inappropriate strategy. Rather that defend the facts and explain irrelevant details, which only comes across as validating/legitimating the Clinton / Left charges, one must challenge directly the sanity, motives, and loyalties of the leaders of the seditious chourus that is being allowed to monopolize and set the agenda for todays policital discussions. Clinton is a disgraced former Presdient who has been cited for serious misconduct by a Federal Judge and who has failed to deny credible allegations of rape by a former campaign worker. Mr. Berger is a convicted felon. Ms. Albright is the architect of the famed Clinton N. Korea strategy, who cares what they think about anything. Why are they still in public. What has been fellow travellers would give them the time of day?
In short if the good guys are going to win/survive they need to drop their ingrained civility, and deal with these vermin as vermin.
