Let me give you a heads up as to what this story is probably all about.

Take the lead...

"When President Bush took office in January 2001, the White House was told that Predator drones had recently spotted Osama bin Laden as many as three times and officials were urged to arm the unmanned planes with missiles to kill the al-Qaida leader."

A more accurate variation of this story has been on Free Republic for over a year and a half. However, bin Laden wasn't sighted by unarmed drones while Clinton was in office; we had the capacity to take him out at the time, and the Clinton Administration chose not to do so.

I can only speculate that the article at the top of this thread is some sort of pre-emptive spin for the purpose of shielding the Clintons from responsibility for their negligence, which led directly to 9/11. There is probably a worse bombshell waiting to drop.

Go here and here for a better understanding.

Notice that in all accounts, we had bin Laden "three times."

It's very important the damning information that Clinton could have taken bin Laden out on three occasions is disseminated to as many people as possible, so please pass it along.

Remember the time during the fight of Tora Bora when a Predator saw a convoy of SUVs in the mountains, and a tall Arab among the crowd that intelligence suspected was Osama? The Predator fired a Hellfire missle, killing the assembled group. They were likely up to no good, but it turned out that Osama was not among them.

If the stroy is ciruclating that Osama was sited by a Predator prior to 9/11, consider it another attempt by the Clinton Apologists (the fastest growing industry in America, btw) to deflect error in judgment from their guy.

Two other things. There can never be 100% assurance that anyone is identified by a Predator. And, secondly, prior to 9/11, we had no good reason to rain-down a missle on a group of unidentifiable Arabs, suspecting Osama was in the group.

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of this. Will be mass emailing to all my non-freepers friends.

Thanks for the ping. This is an important issue. Do you have any ideas of what to do?

These problems needed to be addressed before 9/11, and that lack of foresight was obvious to all by nightfall that day. Yet, it continues, as a calculated matter of policy. When it hits the fan again, that buck will stop on a desk in an office without corners, and "we had no way of knowing" isn't going to wish that reality away.
