Bin Laden's Driver Told FBI That It Was America's Fault That Bin Laden Lived To Plan 9/11 Attacks

Let me rephrase that. It was President Bill Clinton's fault that Osama bin Laden stayed alive long enough to plan and oversee the 9/11 attacks. Here's what bin Laden's driver told FBI agents in interrogations that are now becoming public at the driver's trial...this is from the Miami Herald:

In his seventh of month of U.S. captivity, Osama bin Laden's driver told a pair of FBI agents that it was America's fault that the al Qaeda godfather was alive.
The message was, ''You had these opportunities, America. You didn't do anything,'' FBI agent George Crouch Jr. testified Friday at Salim Hamdan's war crimes trial.
The United States could have killed bin Laden in Khartoum, Sudan, before he moved to Afghanistan in 1996, Hamdan told his interrogators. They could have killed him after al Qaeda's 1998 twin bombings at the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Or after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, at the port of Aden in Yemen, which left 17 U.S. sailors dead.
Instead, ''Bin Laden was emboldened.'' So he struck with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, leaving nearly 3,000 dead.

Let's just review this. Bin Laden's driver, in essence, is saying that during the following events, bin Laden could have been taken out but was not (and who was President of the United States at the time:

• 1995-1996 Bin Laden was in Sudan (Bill Clinton was President)



• 1998 Bombings of the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (Bill Clinton was President)



• 2000 Bombing of the USS Cole (Bill Clinton was President)

So, the opportunities were there to take bin Laden out and the only feeble attempt EVER taken by the Clinton Administration was a long range missile attack on an al Qaeda training camp.

The reason this news is so relevant is because of the election that the American people now face. I have no doubt that the meandering and "whogivesashit" and "it will go away" attitude of the Clinton Presidency in regards to world terror will be repeated by Barack Hussein Obama. And with John McCain at the helm, I firmly believe that all terror threats will be hunted down and taken out.

I, personally, don't think there IS a choice, this November.

Bin Laden's driver told FBI escape was U.S. fault

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba -- In his seventh of month of U.S. captivity, Osama bin Laden's driver told a pair of FBI agents that it was America's fault that the al Qaeda godfather was alive.
The message was, ''You had these opportunities, America. You didn't do anything,'' FBI agent George Crouch Jr. testified Friday at Salim Hamdan's war crimes trial.
The United States could have killed bin Laden in Khartoum, Sudan, before he moved to Afghanistan in 1996, Hamdan told his interrogators. They could have killed him after al Qaeda's 1998 twin bombings at the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Or after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, at the port of Aden in Yemen, which left 17 U.S. sailors dead.
Instead, ''Bin Laden was emboldened.'' So he struck with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, leaving nearly 3,000 dead.
Crouch was paraphrasing a portion of a nearly two-week interrogation he conducted here at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, in June 2002, around the time that an Arabic-speaking FBI agent, Ali Soufan, arranged Hamdan's first call home.
The agents let the Yemeni captive make the five-to 10-minute call with a satellite phone outside an interrogator trailer at Camp Delta. For the first time, he told his wife that he was alive. Then he cried.
Through much of Friday's testimony, the driver watched rapt.
Thursday's session had ended 30 minutes early because guards passed a note to the military judge that Hamdan was running a fever. He went from the court to the prison camps' hospital where he was found ''in good health, with no acute medical conditions,'' said Navy Cmdr. Pauline Storum, a Pentagon spokeswoman. Then he was returned for the night to his solitary steel and cement cell.
Crouch cast the June 2002 telephone call as a turning point.
The man accused of providing material support for terror and conspiracy in a six-year string of terror attacks, was captured at a Northern Alliance roadblock in Takt-a-pol, Afghanistan in November 2001.
In U.S. custody, according to testimony in court, he was shuttled to the Pansjhir Valley, Bagram and Kandahar, all in Afghanistan, and interrogated by an alphabet soup of U.S. agencies -- the FBI, NYPD, NCIS, and OGA -- other government agencies, usually the CIA.
