why do cons insist clinton let OSB escape?

Question

The cons keep arguing clinton had OSB and did nothing. Well gee, just how many times has Bush let OSB escape?

Seems to me after 911 capturing OSB is more critical for bush and gang. however:

"And so it has gone for six years. American intelligence officials interviewed by NEWSWEEK ruefully agree that the hunt to find bin Laden has been more a game of chance than good or "actionable" intelligence. Since bin Laden slipped away from Tora Bora in December 2001, U.S. intelligence has never had better than a 50-50 certainty about his whereabouts. "There hasn't been a serious lead on Osama bin Laden since early 2002," says Bruce Riedel, who recently retired as a South Asia expert at the CIA. "What we're doing now is shooting in the dark in outer space. The chances of hitting anything are zero.""

conisdering 911 happened when bush was in office. Isn't caputirng OSB more vital than ever? After all OSB did commit 911 rigt? I heard OSB flew BOTH planes into the towers.

But stil Bush refuses to capture OSB.

Answer 1

I knew Clinton did not let him escape the way the Republicans have meant it, but even if he did, It was Bush's dad and Reagan who were giving him money to build those caves in the mountains.

I do not believe that 9/11 would have happened if Clinton had of been in office as Bush had plenty of information about the plot that was to occur on 9/11, and even if he didn't, what is more damning, there was MORE THAN plenty of time to shoot those planes down, but ANYONE could have HIT anything on the East coast that day! Bush did NOTHING but lie about that day he sat for 20 minutes after the 2nd tower was hit reading in a elementary school classroom and then lied to America afterwords.

Bush told America that before he went into the class that he saw the 1st plane hit on television! Well, the 1st hit on the towers was not on TV until the next day. Only the 2nd hit was shown and bush was looking like something other than presidential in a classroom doing squat at that time!

Moreover, when Clinton was in office Osama had not hit the twin towers and those who were involved in the prior bombing of the Twins were caught and brought to justice!

To the one whoever he is.

The mastermind of the Cole was assassinated!

Who cut and ran from Lebanon after 242 of our Marines were killed in an attack on their barracks by Iran backed Hezbollah? Wasn't that Reagan? What did he do about that other than cut and run? NOTHING! Well, he was selling Iran missles! He should have been impeached instead of just convicted in Iran/Contra!

Answer 2

Shelly, while OSB was living in Sudan, the Sudanese government offered to hand him over to us twice and both times Prez Clinton declined. Imagine having not one, but two separate chances to physically lay the hands of Justice on this man. And Prez Clinton declined, both times.
That's why they are arguing that Clinton did nothing. Perhaps he was just too busy not having sex with Monica Lewinsky to fully grasp the gravity of the opportunities he declined.

Taking any bets "Dubya" would pass any similar chances up? I don't think so.

Answer 3

Because the bush administration and its blind followers on here CANNOT accept responsibility for the HORRENDOUS job the bush administration has done, so it is typical of them to blame others, such as the Clinton administration.

Name anything bad they have taken responsibility for...

Answer 4

Just more lies from the Rove Lie Factory, lapped up like dogs by the gullible. So few Americans take the time to really dig into the factual data available, and to think for themselves. Some people are so unteachable that they will believe something in the face of massive evidence to the contrary.

I can't say I am always open-minded, but I will make an effort to fact-check every comment made by people here with differing points of view---and sometimes they are proven right by the facts. And so I either shut up, change my mind, or admit the error.

Would that the frenzied Clinton-bashers would do the same instead of regurgitating the lies that were foisted on them. Just like "sweetpea" up there on this page, talking about things she knows nothing about. Or the pathetic 9-11 conspiracy people, who close their eyes even in the face of massive evidence that refutes every falsehood and rumor they keep posting.

There's enough about Clinton that's true without making crap up.

And when you show photos and video of airplane parts strewn across the Pentagon lawn, and a conspiracist says "they were planted there in the night", you just have to roll your eyes and wonder why God made some people that dumb. You'd think it would hurt mankind's chances for survival.

Answer 5

Clinton was offered Bin Laden on a silver platter.. and decided it wasn't worth the effort.

Bush has at least gone after him and chased him into a hole somewhere.

Very big improvement.

Answer 6

One major flaw in your logic. The guess that OSB was in Tora Bora was 50/50. Intelligence is a game of guesswork. Duh.

Answer 7

When did Bush let OBL escape? Yes Clinton turned down three chances to grab OBL, that is well documented.

Answer 8

Osama is a man on the most wanted list. It is more crucial to stop "terrorists" than it is to put all our time and energy towards one man.

Answer 9

9/11 was an inside job.

Once you realize that, everything makes a lot more sense.

Answer 10

So what are you trying to say, that both Bullshit and Penis Clinton let OBL escape? I agree.
