GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba — In his seventh of month of U.S. captivity, Osama bin Laden's driver told a pair of FBI agents that it was America's fault that the al Qaida leader was alive.
The message was, ''You had these opportunities, America. You didn't do anything,'' FBI agent George Crouch Jr. testified Friday at Salim Hamdan's war crimes trial.
The United States could have killed bin Laden in Khartoum, Sudan, before he moved to Afghanistan in 1996, Hamdan told his interrogators. They could have killed him after al Qaida's 1998 twin bombings at the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Or after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, at the port of Aden in Yemen, which left 17 U.S. sailors dead.
Instead, ''Bin Laden was emboldened.'' So he struck with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, leaving nearly 3,000 dead.

The msm will squash this story. They will circle the wagons around a dimocRAT like on the Edwards story.
Thanks Bill Clinton.
Undeniably so .... that narcissistic rat.
Yup...I’ve said right along...9-11 is directly linked to Bubba’s inaction!!
Bush has held power for almost 8 years now. Lets us know when he finds and kills this guy. Hopefully, it’ll be before Laden dies of old age.
He is a pitiful excuse for a President.
Bill Clinton damaged this country in ways that will linger for the next 50 years.
~~ PING!
how can you believe this? the man was waterboarded for petes sake! that will be their reasoning.
Convoluted logic.
Obama’s Intl Advisor is Susan Rice, the Same Susan Rice who was Undersecretary of State for North Africa under Maddy Albright. the Same Susan Rice who squelched the offer of Sudan to hand over BinLaden — because she was in a snit-fit over Sudan’s human rights record.
The Rice Apple doesn’t fall far from the horse.
I hate to give Salim any credibility, but this backs up other reports. Still, this guy is an Islamic Devil.
Wait, WAIT! I see, further into the article- charges of torture are true:
~SNIP~
Interrogations became so congenial, Crouch said, that they brought him pizza and subs and he learned something every adolescent in America knows: McDonald’s French Fries “are not good cold.’’
~SNIP~
Bush has wiped out 3/4 or more of the Al Qaeda leadership and deposed one of the most murderous madmen in the 20th century.
Last we heard, Bin Laden is hiding out in a cave somewhere.
Clinton didnt have the fortitude or moral clarity to take OBL out when handed the opportunity THREE times.
Bin Laden also said when Clinton pulled the troops out of Somalia after the Black Hawk tragedy, that made him believe the US was “a paper tiger.”
The military was FURIOUS with Clinton for pulling them out.
Clinton is a bubba from the backwoods of Arkansas who was slick enough to fool 43% of the voters in this country...
What Edwards story?
>>>>We’ve found it... Clinton’s lost legacy.
I’m sorry to make note that there have been many examples of “warfare by lawyers” in recent months and years, and thye’ve been widely discussed here on FR.
Americans embracing their own destruction
What’s happened to the American spirit of independence, self-reliance and individual achievement? Well, for one thing, you have Marxists like Bill Clinton make this shameful statement, April 19, 1994: “When we got organized as a country, we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, however there’s a lot of irresponsibility today in this country and so a lot of people say there’s too much personal freedom……..

Evidently he’s a prime puppet of the puppet masters and they ae either protecting him or have further use for him.
The Klintoons were prime puppets . . . evidently with too much baggage as it turned out.
Interrogations became so congenial, Crouch said, that they brought him pizza
Yes, but without any pepperoni.
