Plan to Capture Bin Laden Before 9/11 Was Called Off

ABC News ^ | 5/21/03 | Brian Ross

My goodness! An entire article about planned operations to battle terrorism and the name "Clinton" was not mentioned once? How could this be? That man sure could delegate.......

I heard ABC's correspondent give this report on GMA earlier today. What struck me was the fact that at no time was the name Clinton evoked ... he talked about the Janet Reno justice department. Rest assured had it been the Bush justice department, or any Republican justice deptartment, the President's name would be front and center. Guaranteed ...

Toon legacy bump.

She was too busy organizing federal raids of private residences in Miami that protected the little Elian from being sent back to Communist Cuba.

Brian Ross did a report on ABC's nightly news last night on the Oil For Food program that I thought was pretty soft on the UN. Ross also never mentioned France's role in the scam, the money in a French bank, or the fact that the UN was getting a fee for running the program. All in all, pretty disappointing unless he's going to follow it up. I used to keep an eye peeled for Ross's reports, but FOX's Eric Shawn has been doing much better investigative reporting on this topic by far.

"Hmm. Janet Reno killed it. Surprise, surprise."

""...the loss of life on the ground would have been significant," Cloonan said. There was concern that people around the bin Laden compound would be killed..."

Note that Janet Draino wasn't concerned about loss of AMERICAN lives in the raid. Given her propensity for "offing" American citizens, I'm not surprised.

Thanks for posting this.

Jake Reno, the Yeti/Wookie Lesbo Amazon, worked 24/7 to protect the enemies of America.

Remember during this time she was trying to dismantle the terrible and dangerous enemy, Bill Gates/Micosoft. Massive amounts of Justice Department resources were squandered trying to smash Gates or force him over to the Dark Side.

Then, Jake worked behind the scenes in situations like this to protect the real enemies of America, both from outside and within America.

It's like everyone in the Clinton Admin was running for office in Brussels, Belgium. In order to be seen as a player in global governance it was required to kick the United States in full view, like Waco, Elian Gonzales, Somalia debacle, Gutting the CIA, Panama Canal handover to Hutchinson Wampoa, etc...... But yet openly give a free pass on any interests to foreigners outside the United States.

There can be no other explanation for Clinton Admin conduct. They actually thought the world outside the US would worship them and enrich them for all eternity. It looks like Bubba got the goodies while the rest were hung out to dry.

Careful people. This might be another attempt by the Clinton worshippers to prove that his administration was working hard to get bin Laden. Funny how Attorney General Reno is blamed for killing the plan to get Osama, and not Clinton.

The Clinton worshippers will tear down ANYONE, including themselves, to glorify their God, CLINTON. He is to blame for why we did not get bin Laden when we should/could have (pre 9/11).

[Lunatic Fringe]

They came to the decision that this plan was probably too dangerous, that the loss of life on the ground would have been significant

But she had no problem sending in domestic para-military troops into Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Miami.... where American children were in danger.

Hmm. Janet Reno killed it. Surprise, surprise.

Janet Reno (Rhino) Only goes after defenseless Women & Chirren..."Operation Showtime" and/or little cuban boys washed-up on our shores & then hands them over to Castros' Goons.

[dagoofyfoot]

Truly sickening! This what happens when the "Clampitts" get into the Whitehouse. We already knew that Reno was a loser, and totally unfit for the position. Everyone one of these people should be taken out behind the woodshed and given "three behind the ear".

[b4its2late]

This smells of Clinton. Reno is just the scapegoat for the attempted legacy.

Yes, but, didn't BClinton specifically say he had a plan to get Bin Laden. Seems reports of that plan under Clinton's name were circulating about a year ago.

Any thing associated with B or H Clinton should also be associated with the term hoodwinked. They were/are good at it.

[skinkinthegrass]

There weren't enough children in the compound to make it worth her while.

Ouch...good one!... :)

CLINTON LEGACY

Clowntoon probably told them to put the plan on hold until he could use it to get another scandal off the front page, but the opportunity passed before that happened.

[MrConfettiMan]

If you have the time, read the whole thread. Lots of good comments in here.

When you consider why Reno was chosen by the Clintons and the harm that Reno did to this nation, it is clear that she was more than the incompetent person which Washington insiders such as Tony Snow like to indicate. She was evil and her evil was connected to her immorality, another "unmentionable" that Washington insiders have decided may not be discussed.
