In the 1990s, the republicans knew that Osma Bin Laden was a threat, and needed to be taken out. Clinton blocked the Republicans, and refused to do anything about Osama! Clinton did nothing when the USS Cole was attacked, and his inaction against the terrorist is the direct reason why the 9/11 attacks occoured. WHY did Bill Clinton block the Republicans who wanted to go after Osma bin laden?

Donations by Osama to the Clinton presidential library, especially to the Adult section. In addition, Osama donated some vintage editions of Oui and Juggz that didn't stick too badly.
Oh, my answer, and its responses show what poor senses of humor Democrats have.

Clinton became the terrific President in contemporary memory. So i think in the event that they choose human beings to think of of Obama because of the fact the worst, they are going to block him at each and every turn. Strategically, this might provide them the terrific possibility of victory in 2012. yet whilst the GOP is going too some distance, or selections an extremist to run in 2012, the occasion will chop up and that they are going to lose. So it rather is a gambit that may not without danger. Republicans have continually used the filibuster and severe grimy tricks in each and every election (pink scares, socialist mongering, watergate housebreaking, bribery scandals, bribing Iran to hold hostages until after the election with weapons, mendacity approximately WMDs etc. etc., and it has worked for them. whilst will the Democrats awaken and combat like they choose to win?

They knew he was a threat? Based on what?
Anti-American speeches in Afghanistan?
Do you hear what you're saying? You're gonna whack a guy based on what he says? No one saw 911 coming.
Clinton or Bush. Clinton did respond to the Cole.
Where is Bin Laden now, after four plus years?
Why are his family and fellow Saudis still doing business with Bush? You have to ask all the questions.

I submit that you are lacking in the factional information related to this issue. Clinton did authorize an ineffective cruise missile strike against a site that Bin Laden was reported to be at.
I think in hindsight all of us would agree that the ball was dropped by a number of officials and there is plenty of blame to go around.

because the Republicans refused to give Clinton the funds and support he needed to do this!
If that Republican Congress thought Bin Laden was such a great threat to the United States at that time - Why did they not instigate something about it - other than condemning Clinton and saying that Clinton was Wagging the Dog?
duh!

The leadership of the Republican congress was more interested in the impeachment of Clinton then to deal with real issues like terrorism. There fear was sex. Ask Newt he was playing around while the investigation into Clinton was taking place.
