Bush Uraniumgate Critics Ignored Clinton's 9/11 Blunder
NewsMax.com ^ | 7/24/03 | Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff

Posted on 07/23/2003 11:35:38 PM PDT by kattracks

Critics of President Bush who now pound away daily at his State of the Union reference to Iraq seeking uranium in Africa have staunchly ignored ex-President Clinton's admission that he blew a chance to have Osama bin Laden extradited to the U.S. - a move that was arguably the worst national security blunder in U.S. history.

While it remains unclear whether the information on Iraq's nuclear ambitions cited by Bush in the Jan. 2003 speech was inaccurate - no one seriously contends that the case for war rested on his 16 word statement.

However, Mr. Clinton's decision not to accept a 1996 offer from the government of Sudan for bin Laden's extradition to the U.S. had devastating consequences - the deaths of over 3,000 Americans in the worst terrorist attack of all time.

The blunder is considered so damaging by former Clinton administration officials that even after their boss came clean, none will admit that such a deal was ever in the works.

But those denials were rendered inoperative last year, when - in an extraordinary moment of candor - the ex-president uttered 55 words to explain the decision that sealed the fate of 3,000 of his fellow Americans:

"We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start meeting with them again," Clinton told a New York business group in Feb. 2002.

"They released [bin Laden]. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America." [End of excerpt]

Last week, a spokesman for the 9/11 Commission said that if probers decide to question President Bush and President Clinton, Clinton's startling revelation would likely be on the agenda.

But so far at least, neither Democrats nor Republicans on Capitol Hill have demonstrated much interest in Clinton's confession, though its significance dwarfs Bush's remarks about Iraqi uranium.

Still, without a full-blown congressional probe, questions about the ex-president's decision to snub Sudan's bin Laden offer - such as who advised him to do so, were the proper national security officials consulted and why members of his administration are still dissembling about the episode even after his admission - are unlikely to be answered.

'Uraniumgate'? Oh, good grief.

If I were king for a day, I'd make the utterance of the word 'gate' physically painful for media people.

NEVER FORGET

...DICK MORRIS was on The Comedy Channel's JON STEWART TV Interview Show tonight talking about how CLINTON refused a Sudan Offer to bring our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN to a U.S. Trial in 1995 that would have prevented the Attacks on us all on September 11, 2001.

Now WHY do you suppose BILL CLINTON did a thing like that..?




Former CLINTON Family Political Advisor DICK MORRIS went on to say tonight on National TV that BILL CLINTON did not know who OSAMA bin LADEN was in 1995, didn't find out till 1996 = NOT.

OSAMA bin LADEN's name was brought up many times during the 1994 Trial of the Blind Brooklyn Mosque Cleric who masterminded the World Trade Center Bombing-1993.

OSAMA bin LADEN was also offered up to the CLINTONS a 2nd time in 1996 and a 3rd time in 2000 by the President of the Sudan and was again refused.

Was OSAMA bin LADEN supposedly unknown to the CLINTONS then..?
I don't think so.




Both HILLARY RODHAM & BILL CLINTON backed our Terrorist Enemy HO CHI MINH against US and FREEDOM for a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

With an Enemy that is now just around the corner and up your street with our own FREEDOM now at stake in a new -Time of War-..

WHY haven't the CLINTONS changed sides for US..???

Yesterday's announcements that Hillary is considering a 2004 run has freaked out her Campaign Committee (that being Hillary and Bill)..

And so today, Bill tries to act all innocent and look like they aren't running in 2004.

The Leftists are scared to death that WE will be waiting and ready for them.

Keep Ready.

And Keep Watch.

The Clinton LUST
is only in remission
to throw us off.

Bill Clinton soft-shoeing ...
"You know, everybody makes mistakes when they are president. You can't make as many calls as you have to make without messing up. The thing we ought to be focused on is what is the right thing to do now."

Check out Mansoor Ijaz - this guy was the one brokering the deals with the Sudan to get Bin Laden - he's been all over FoxNews - but what he says is more or less ignored by the rest of the media.

Now WHY do you suppose BILL CLINTON did a thing like that..?

Here's my question:

Why did the Terrorists attack New York when the Clitnons were so Terrorist-Friendly??

The FALN Terrorists were released and set free by Bill Clinton in September 1999...almost TWO years to the day before the 9-11 attack!

And Bill Clinton adored Arafat and let Bin Ladin go...so why attack the STATE where the terrorist-friendly Clinton-Spouse had just won a Senate seat??

It doesn't make sense!

Unless...Hillary Clinton was hoping to embarrass and topple the Bush Presidency and use this "opportunity" to catapult into the Political Limelight as the SAVIOR of New York!

FAVOR? Was September 11, 2001 a favor for the Clintons???

(Worse yet...Did 3000+ die for daring to vote in Hillary into power???)

Somehow, this makes lot of sense.

More reasons to NEVER Elect HIllary to the Presidency.

God Save Us...
From the Clintons.

Lest We Forget...

-Living History-

Scheduled for the afternoon of 9-11-01, the Attorney Generals office was supposed to supply evidence pertaining to the Clinton Pardons for review to Congress.

But, something got in the way early in the morning of September 11th, and this event forever distracted the procedings... in addition to killing Hillary Clinton's main media-foe, author Barbara Olsen in a plane that crashed into the Pentagon.

If not for the Hero's of Flight 93, the Capitol itself would have been dust as well.

In ONE HOUR, the Clinton's managed to avoid an investigation into the Pardons and also "lost" a major enemy.

The point is: the Clintons cannot wait to exploit what very well may be a dismal employment picture. They are excellent at highlighting perceived weakness and hammering it home.

The Clinton's are Lawyers
and Playing-Loopholes is their speciality.

Have you noticed their allegance to the
"Third Way"?

Not Right, Not Left
But Just Pure Evil.

MONSOOR IJAZ =

The Most Feared Man in America...
by Democrats.


MONSOOR IJAZ =

Told America, thru the FoX News Channel on September 12, 2001, about the 3 OSAMA Offers that the CLINTONS refused during the 1990's that would have prevented the Attacks of September 11, 2001 ..if the Offers had been taken instead.


ALOHA RONNIE =

-Ever since September 12, 2001 has been broadcasting this MONSOOR IJAZ Fact thru Calls into Talk Radio, C-SPAN & FoX News Channel and also all over the Internet.

-Had the 1990's Sudan Ambassador to the U.S. ..IMED IBRAHIM MOHAMMED.. personally confirm that he represented the President of the Sudan during the CLINTONS' refusal of the 3 OSAMA Offers.

-Had the 1990's CLINTON Political Advisor DICK MORRIS confirm to him twice in the last month on National Talk Radio that the CLINTONS did refuse 3 OSAMA Offers from the Sudan.




BILL CLINTON's only comeback to the Sudan ..was to BOMB it.. as a TV Diversion away from his own Impeachment..!!!

Excellent post #3. We really must urge Carl to try to book a few appearances for himself on some of the news shows, namely, O'Reilly's Factor and Scarborough Country.

This idea that every political event that has the slightest tinge of impropriety has to be 'something-gate' is rapidly moving upward in rank in my pet-peeve beastiary.

The top players there are the use of 'prolly' for 'probably', or 'U R' for 'you are'.

Prayers for America
and for President Bush.

Hillary Clinton has been encouraging America's enemies
with her Anti-American speeches and articles in Germany and in Europe.

She is a Traitor
who longs for the Fall
of the United States.
