What is not in dispute at all is the fact that, in early 1996, American officials regarded Osama bin Laden as a financier of terrorism.
In August 1996, bin Laden declared war against the United States.
He issued a fatwā against the United States, which was first published in Al Quds Al Arabi, a London-based newspaper. It was entitled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places."
Clinton said, At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America. - Bill Clinton
Saying he didn't bring OBL to the US because their was no basis on which to hold him, certainly implies that the offer was made.....
President Bill Clinton, then-National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and Director of Counter terrorism, Richard Clarke among them – have testified there were no "credible offers" to hand over bin Laden.
What does no "credible offer" mean ? Plausible deniability ?= Bullshit
Then,
Lawrence Wright, flatly states that Sudan did make such an offer. Wright bases his judgment on an interview with Erwa and notes that those who most prominently deny Erwa’s claims were not in fact present for the meeting.
What possible benefit is it to Erwa to lie about this issue?....There is none.
Berger, at least, did consider the possibility of bringing bin Laden to the U.S., but, as he told The Washington Post in 2001, "The FBI did not believe we had enough evidence to indict bin Laden at that time, and therefore opposed bringing him to the United States."
Again....Saying they didn't bring OBL to the US because their was no basis on which to hold him, certainly implys that the offer was made.....
Yet, we have Berger and Clark testifying there was no offer, when they were IN FACT not
present at the meeting....
Who has to gain by lying except Clinton, Clark and Berger....
A day before Sept. 11, 2001, former President Bill Clinton told an audience that he could have had Osama bin Laden killed, but chose not to, because an attack could have endangered innocent women and children in Afghanistan.
“I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him.”
December 1998, intelligence indicated that Bin Laden was staying at the governor’s residence in Kandahar, according to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, otherwise known as the 9/11 Report, released in 2004. According to the report, the missed chance made some lower-level officials angry, but later information showed that Bin Laden had left his quarters.
“The principals’ wariness about ordering a strike appears to have been vindicated: Bin Laden left his room unexpectedly, and if a strike had been ordered he would not have been hit,” the commission wrote.
Consider this....They knew OBL was staying at the governor’s residence in Kandahar, according to 0/11 Report...yet Clinton says he would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children...???
Is the gov. residence the entire town of Kandahar?....If OBL wasn't in his bedroom, would
they miss him by destroying the residence...did he have to be in his bedroom to get him?
The spin and lies are obvious, the 9/11 Report was a white wash job to cover everyone's ass....
did they even mention that most of the 9/11 hi-jackers were in country by the end of 2000
before Bush entered the picture.,,,no
