MUST-READ BOOK FOR DEMOCRATS:
How clintons' Failures Unleashed Global Terror
(Who in his right mind would ever want the clintons back in the Oval Office?)

 

Losing bin Laden: How Bill Clinton’s Failures Unleashed Global Terror
by Richard Miniter
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 0895260743
Hardcover - 256 pages (September 2003)

Years before the public knew about bin Laden, Bill Clinton did. Bin Laden first attacked Americans during Clinton’s presidential transition in December 1992. He struck again at the World Trade Center in February 1993. Over the next eight years the archterrorist’s attacks would escalate killing hundreds and wounding thousands&emdash;while Clinton did his best to stymie the FBI and CIA and refused to wage a real war on terror.

Why?

The answer is here in investigative reporter Richard Miniter’s stunning exposé that includes exclusive interviews with both of Clinton’s National Security Advisors, Clinton’s counter-terrorism czar, his first CIA director, his Secretary of State, his Secretary of Defense, top CIA and FBI agents, lawmakers from both parties and foreign intelligence officials from France, Sudan, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as on the-scene coverage from Sudan, Egypt, and elsewhere.

In Losing bin Laden you’ll learn:

• The new evidence that Clinton knew about Sudan’s offers to arrest bin Laden&emdash;and why he ignored them

• The never before told story of the Saudi government attempt to assassinate bin Laden

• Why Bill Clinton refused to meet with his first director of Central Intelligence

• Drawn from secret Sudanese intelligence files, the never-before-told story of Bin Laden’s role in shooting down America’s Black Hawk helicopters in Mogadishu, Somalia&emdash;and how Clinton manipulated the news media to keep the worst off America’s TV screens

• How Clinton ignored intelligence and offers of cooperation against bin Laden from Afghanistan’s Northern Alliance

• How Bill Clinton scuttled a secret offer from the United Arab Emirates to arrest bin Laden

• The 1993 World Trade Center attack&emdash;why Clinton refused to believe it had been bombed; why the CIA was kept out of the investigation; and how one of the FBI’s most trusted informants was actually a double agent working for bin Laden

• Why the CIA never funded bin Laden&emdash;despite the liberal myths

• How Clinton ignored Yemen’s pleas for help in arresting bin Laden&emdash;in 1993

• The untold story of a respected Congressman who repeatedly warned Clinton officials about bin Laden in 1993&emdash;and why he was ignored

• Revealed for the first time: how Clinton and a Democratic Senator stopped the CIA from hiring Arabic translators&emdash;while phone intercepts from bin Laden remained untranslated

• How the Predator spy plane&emdash;which spotted bin Laden three times&emdash;was grounded by bureaucratic infighting.

• Plus much more, including, appendices of secret documents and photos, as well as the established links between bin Laden and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

Losing bin Laden is a dramatic, page-turning read, a riveting account of a terror war that bin Laden openly declared, but that Clinton left largely unfought. With a pounding narrative, up-close characters and detailed scenes, it takes you inside the Oval Office, the White House Situation Room and within some of the deadliest terrorist cells that America has ever faced. If Clinton had fought back, the attacks on September 11, 2001 might never have happened.

Losing bin Laden is a story&emdash;and one hell of a lesson&emdash;that the reader will never forget.

EXCERPTS:
Losing bin Laden: How Bill Clinton's Failures Unleashed Global Terror
Miniter, Richard

"[CIA Director] Woolsey tried to establish a rapport with the president. Sometimes he would accompany the CIA briefing officer to the White House for the daily intelligence briefing. He hoped the President would invite him in, as was customary in past Administrations. Though the President was told that Woolsey was waiting outside in an anteroom, Clinton never asked to see him."

---

"This frank report reveals that the CIA and other senior policymakers knew about bin Laden-related intelligence failures as early as 1996 -- five years before the September 11 attacks -- and did little about them. It also shows that CIA director Woolsey's concerns were correct. But he couldn't get Clinton's help to beef up funding for the recruitment of local sources. He couldn't even get a meeting with Clinton. So America was in the dark, as bin Laden plotted."

---

"The New York FBI office knew about a growing network of Islamic extremists in the tri-state area, but the agents couldn't even open a full investigation. . . . And, in 1993, the idea of punishing small, seemingly insignificant crimes as a way of preventing larger ones had not yet taken hold. The FBI was aware that many Islamic radicals were training with weapons at Connecticut and Pennsylvania gun ranges. . . ."

---

"Saddam Hussein's punishment for plotting to kill a former American President [George Bush] was the destruction of an empty building in central Baghdad. Clinton, who exercised the death penalty in his home state for convicted murderers, wanted to minimize casualties. The missile strike was most likely not seen as a sign of strength by an Iraqi dictator who would casually order executions over lunch."

---

"The next crisis came on August 8 [1993], when a U.S. Army humvee drove down a rough road in southern Mogadishu. Concealed in a pothole was a land mine. A wire ran from the mine to a nearby building. A Somali spotter watched the vehicle approach. When the humvee was in position, he clicked the detonator. Four American military policemen were murdered. . . . Again, the President took no action."

Suggest you change to title to "A BOOK THAT WILL NEVER BE READ BY DEMOCRATS".

Yup. Too few of them can read; and if they can, they do not understand reason and logic. (think "professors" as in Berkley or in the NorthEast).

[Snowy]

If you want democrats to read, I hope that the chapters are really short. A lot of pictures would help too.

ME:

It is easy to see how asymmetric warfare had been perceived by previous presidents as the quaint method of a third world.

The magnitude of the threat only became clear (and grew exponentially) under clinton.

 

YOU:

The bombing of the WTC, had it succeeded, would have killed upwards of 50,000 people. It would have made 9/11, as horrible as it was, look like a picnic. There would have been no escape as the towers collapsed immediatly after the bomb detonated

I guess we can agree to disagree. Many people saw the threat of Islamic radicallism quite clearly when the Shah of Iran fell in 1979

 

Your observation about the WTC in fact supports my position.

1993 was a watershed in modern American history, a time that should have forever and instantaneously changed the response of the American president to terrorism.

But the rapist did nothing.

...WHY did HILLARY & BILL CLINTON refuse 3-Offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to extradite our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN to a U.S. Jail & Trial that would have prevented the Attacks on us all on September 11, 2001..?

...BILL CLINTON did NOT apprehend the Blind Muslim Cleric who masterminded the World Trade Center Bombing-1993. He and HILLARY simply took credit for doing so, on TV, using it as THE example that they were not soft on terrorism during the 1990's ..when they were..!!

...It was actually my fellow Veteran of the Battle of IA DRANG-1965, and Tower 2's Head of Security for Morgan Stanley Brokerage House, RICK RESCORLA and his lifelong Army Buddy & Terrorism Expert DAN HILL that tracked down and brought this Blind Cleric to Justice immediately after the World Trade Center Bombing-1993.

...RICK RESCORLA paid for it all with his own life later on as Tower 2 came crashing down on him on September 11, 2001 after his saving 1,000's of other lives there.

I share your enmity towards both Clintons... you're right about the complete lack of action by the perp in striking out at terrorism, even as compelling, factual intelligence reached him on a daily basis regarding those responsible...

having said that... GoOrdnance is right- that all previous administrations either responded proportionally, or not at all to terrorist strikes against Americans... the American public was all too comfortable in this tit for tat form of justice, as the ghosts of Viet Nam altered and skewed their perceptions (think quagmire)...

to digress... I was in the military (Army-airborne) stationed at Ft Bragg, NC, living in a WWII barracks at the end of a runway at Pope AF Base when we invaded Grenada... to a man, Grenada was the last place on Earth that any of us thought was the target for invasion... over 250 U S Marines had been killed in Beirut less than 30 days previously, so it was quite obvious where we were going... incredibly, Grenada was the destination...

the message that this sent to terrorists was devastating and would have a lasting effect on the U S and conversely would embolden the worst of the worst to continue the attacks on America as we were not willing to pay the price... Beirut was the model... we put our tails between our legs and retreated stateside... our present Commander in Chief, along with his administration, and the might and sword of U S military power, are prosecuting those that would do America harm... slowly, we are rectifying a long over due, horribly ineffective, dangerous policy of equitable retaliation...

The survival instinct trumps party loyalty.

Very interesting thought.

I'm trying to picture my very liberal sister reading this book and I just can't imagine it. She hates Bush as much as I hate Clinton.

[railsplitter]

to put it another way... the old saw is... the end justifies the means... THIS IS THE WAY & MANTRA OF THE LEFT !... know thine enemy...

...unlike my very liberal brother, who hates the clintons as much as he hates Bush -- perhaps even more so.... ;)

HILLARY Diane RODHAM =
WILLIAM Jefferson CLINTON =

Supporters of our Terrorist Enemy HO CHI MINH's Communist Victory over Freedom and US during the Vietnam War.

Nothing has changed since.

During his Impeachment Saga, President BILL CLINTON went down to publically apologize to the People of Central America for America's having fought on the "Wrong" Side against the CASTRO-Backed Communists that were trying to take over Central America during the early 1980's.

Since leaving office, Former President BILL CLINTON has publically stated that "America probably won't even be around in 300 years" while blaming America and Christianity for the Attacks on us all on September 11, 2001.

...And now HILLARY prepares to announce for the Presidency of the United States on the 2nd Aniversary of the Attacks that she herself helped bring down on us all by refusing 3 Offers to bring our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN here during the 1990's..?

...This is about 2 Enemies of the State that have not yet been held accountable for their actions against US, thanks to their TV Network Friends' News Broadcast Sins of Ommission =

Miniter due up next on Hannity & Colmes. Hopefully you get foxnews.

The season for good books! Don't forget Barr McClellan's new book on how LBJ had JFK killed published by Hanover House I believe. More Dem doings. This time, to each other.

The book is about many murders connected to LBJ. For some reason the "suicide" of U.S. Ag inspector Henry Marshall affected me in a manner that was repeated when Vince Foster "committed suicide." Now I know who murdered Marshall. At the time we all knew LBJ and Billie Sol Estes were involved. Now we know the details

For years I've heard that the CIA did it. BS I thought. But if LBJ was involved I'd believe Elvis Presley assassinated President Kennedy.

I believe there are some 600 comments about the book in an earlier posting if I read the numbers correctly. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/969184/posts

Regnery is my favorite publisher --- a beacon of truth in a sea of liberal-lying-publishers.
