"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.

Mia T. Bump.
You are precisely right. Thank you. When the truthful record of this period is written, that is to say, if America survives the clintons and the American Left long enough for the events of this period to act as a natural purgative that will, once and for all, rid the body politic and academe and the media and all those other dark places of every trace of them, history will correctly differentiate cause from effect, prime mover from aider and abettor. History, I believe, will relegate the terrorist to the latter role. It will identify the clintons and the American Left as the prime movers of this sorry scheme. If the clinton reign of terror set the defeat of America in motion, what the clintons hope will be their interregnum provided the necessary animus to complete the job. Make no mistake. It was the clintons first and foremost who fomented the hatred of Bush and America. But animus toward Bush and America also served a broader, strategic function: the inflation of the clintons' sorry legacy. Downward revision ("defining deviancy down") is the classic clinton m.o., (see Jefferson double-helix hoax), (although the clintons, exposed, will often argue the obverse: the double negative offers the illusion of higher ground.) Posthumous misappropriation, for obvious reasons the clintons' preferred method of legacy inflation, was unavailable. (Much to the chagrin of the Left, I would add--witness their latest fantasy, the British mock-documentary called 'Death Of A President,' which depicts--some would say encourages--the assassination of George W. Bush.) That Bush's death is only a fantasy is not a problem. The clintons will always make do. Yesterday, Daniel Patrick Moynihan died. Today, the clintons are arrogating his soul. Hardly surprising. In 1999, the clintons were not at all shy about seizing his still-warm senate seat.
