The State Department warned the Clinton administration of the dangers from Osama bin Laden after the terrorist left Sudan in May 1996, according to two declassified "top secret" State Department documents. The group Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act request and released them to the press yesterday. "This is not a case of hindsight being 20/20," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "These documents prove the Clinton administration knew the danger Osama bin Laden posed to the United States back in 1996 and yet failed to take any meaningful action to stop him."

Clinton and his flacks acted more passionately to try to stop a movie than they tried to capture Bin Laden in the past decade.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

The documents, authored by the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, discuss bin Laden's travels, prolonged stay in Afghanistan, financial networks, anti-Western threats in press interviews, ties to the Khobar Towers bombing and "emboldened" threats against U.S. interests.

Clinton just didn't have time to read such drivel... he was too busy with monica and with his pants around his ankles.

If anyone thinks Mrs. Clinton would be any better then her husband at protecting America then just fo back and chack out her affiliation with the black panthers in her youth.

Oh yeah, she did enable her pervert husband and his philandering ways.

Yes: They did, but what is even more crazy is that the Washington Times had to watch a movie to figure it out.

And if anyone thinks that this enabling just started with their White House tenure, think again, it has been going on from day one of their relationship. It was never about love, just how they could help each other attain power.

Can't believe I missed them. Next time I'll wear my MC Hammer pants. I can fit a lot more documents in those.
