Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright says the Clinton administration never had the public support it needed to root Osama bin Laden from his terrorist training grounds in Afghanistan.
"The [bombing] events that happened [at two U.S. embassies in Africa and against the USS Cole] were abroad," Mrs. Albright explained to reporters prior to a speaking engagement at Cherry Hill High School East in New Jersey. "This [Bush] administration has the support to go forward in a way we did not."
In addition, according to New Jersey's Courier Post, Mrs. Albright said the Clinton administration was never able to link bin Laden's repeated terrorist attacks against the United States because of intelligence deficit.
However, "we did everything we could based on the intelligence we had," Mrs. Albright insisted.
