Congress cites 9/11 Bush cover-up, demands Obama act

[Freewill]

Basically it was partisan bullshit even including Clinton in the investigation. And if they were doing that, they should have hauled in the Republicans who blocked Clinton's efforts to kill Bin Laden.

And Bush's buddies, who were in the PNAC, were lying about Iraq's involvement in the 9/11 attacks, chemical weapons and nuclear weapons. Bush, himself, lied about Aluminum Tubing, the Bush administration tortured prisoners and outed a CIA agent.

That's the short list.

Links must be provided. Especially on the BS about the Republicans causing Clinton not to have the balls to take out OBL.

The whole of 9/11 was planned under Clinton and because of Clinton's actions. The hi-jackers went to flight school under Clinton and don't forget Berger was one of his boys.

You're kidding..really?

You need links?

Clarke reviewed the plans for Sandy Berger, the National Security Director, and told him that it was in the "very early stages of development" and stressed the importance of only targeting bin Laden, not the entire compound. The NSC told the CIA to begin preparing the necessary legal documents to execute the raid.[46]

The senior management of the CIA was skeptical of the plan, and despite objections, canceled the operation, fearing that the risk to their operatives and financial costs were too high. It is unclear whether or not Clinton was aware of the plan.

As the Counter-terrorism Center continued to track bin Laden, they learned in 1998 that the Saudi government had bin Laden cells within the country that were planning attacks on U.S. forces. CIA Director George Tenet, encouraged by the Saudi's show of force against bin Laden, asked them to assist in the fight against bin Laden. Clinton named Tenet as his informal "personal representative" to work with Saudi Arabia on terrorism. The Saudis promised Tenet that they would do everything they could to convince the Taliban to release bin Laden for trial in America or elsewhere. The Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Turki bin Faisal, held various meetings with Taliban chief Mullah Omar and other leaders and received assurance that bin Laden would be removed. Omar, however, reneged on that promise.[38]

On August 7, 1998, Bin Laden struck again, this time with simultaneous bombings on the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. (see above) The CIA, having confirmed bin Laden was behind the attack, informed Clinton that terrorist leaders were planning to meet at a camp near Khowst, to plan future attacks. According to Tenet, "several hundred," including bin Laden, would attend. On August 20, Clinton ordered the military to fire cruise missiles at Al-Qaeda terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum, Sundan, where bin Laden was suspected of manufacturing biological weapons. While the military hit their targets, bin Laden was not killed. The CIA estimated that they had missed bin Laden by "a few hours."[43]

At the time of the attacks, Clinton was embroiled in the Lewinsky scandal (see below). This led many Republicans in Congress to accuse the president of "wagging the dog"—launching a military attack simply to distract the public from his personal problems. Clinton and his principals, however, insist that the decision was made solely on the basis of national security.[38]

After the attacks failed, Clinton moved his focus to diplomatic pressure. On the advice of the State Department, Clinton encouraged Pakistan, whose military intelligence agency was a patron of the Taliban, to pressure the Taliban to remove bin Laden. After numerous meetings with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the Pakistani's would still not cooperate.[38] Sharif eventually agreed to allow the United States to train Pakistani special forces to find bin Laden. When Sharif was ousted by Pervez Musharraf, the plan was abandoned.[47]

After encouragement by Richard Clarke, Clinton issued an executive order in July 1999 declaring the Taliban regime as a state sponsor of terrorism.[48] This was followed in October 1999 by Resolution 1267 sponsored by the United States placing economic and travel sanctions on the Taliban.[49] The Taliban, however, stood by bin Laden, and the United States, along with Russia, proposed yet another UN resolution (Resolution 1333), this time imposing an embargo an arms shipments to the Taliban.[50] The move was meant to weaken the Taliban in their fight against the Northern Alliance in their civil strife. However, the resolution did little to limit the illegal flow of arms from Pakistan.[38]

In August 1999, Clinton signed a Memorandum of Notification ordering the CIA to develop another plan to capture bin Laden, and giving the CIA the authority to order bin Laden be killed.[51]

Near the end of 1999, the Clinton administration, working with the government of Jordan, detected and thwarted a planned terrorist attack to detonate bombs at various New Year millennium celebrations around the world. The CIA confirmed that bin Laden was behind the plot, which was disrupted just days before the New Year.[43] While many credited Clinton's new CSG for playing a role in the foiling of these plots, critics claim it was "mostly luck."[52]

The CIA informed Clinton that they feared the thwarted attacks were just part of a larger series of attacks planned for the new year. Clinton asked Clarke and the CSG to draft plans to "deter and disrupt" al Qaeda attacks.[38]

On October 12, 2000, terrorists bombed the USS Cole in the harbor of the Yemeni port of Aden. The attack on the USS Cole (DDG-67), a U.S. Navy destroyer, killed 17 Navy sailors, and there was no clear indication during the last months of Clinton's term of who was responsible.[38] The CIA reported that they had "no definitive answer on [the] crucial question of outside direction of the attack—how and by whom. Clinton did not think it would be wise to launch an attack based on a "preliminary judgment," stating that he would have taken further action had he received definitive intelligence. The CIA was eventually able to confirm bin Laden's involvement with certainty a week after the Bush administration took office.[43]

As Clinton's second term drew to a close, the CSG drafted a comprehensive policy paper entitled "Strategy for Eliminating the Threat from the Jihadist Networks of al Qida: Status and Prospects." http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB147/clarke attachment.pdf The paper outlined a method to "roll back" al Qaeda over "a period of three to five years." Clarke stated that while "continued anti-al Qida operations at the current level will prevent some attacks, [it] will not seriously attrit their ability to plan and conduct attacks." This policy paper was forwarded to the incoming Bush administration.[43]
Foreign policy of the Bill Clinton administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Add in it was the REAGAN administration that trained and financed Osama Bin Laden when he was in the muj.

How in that pile of BS do you read republicans cause Clinton not to kill OBL? Yes the article says they accused him of walking the dog but it also says he acted any way.

When Reagan helped the people of Afghanistan it was during Russian occupation they loved Reagan. Clinton on the other hand had a foreign policy that make them hate us and think we were weak. I grantee you they didn't think that during Reagan.

For once can some freakin liberal be honest and admit that Clinton was not a living god? He f...ked the country like no other President, even Carter, and the left idolizes him. Hell are your going to say that the republicans caused him to slaughter the children at Waco, that would make about as much sense.

Saudi Royal criticizes US policy of inaction in Syria
Published December 17th, 2013

Saudi won't follow US as it used to be. That's why they released this news to intimidate. If you dare to criticize, we'll charge you for "committing 911 attack".

It is not an attempt to reveal the 911 truth. It is just another dirty political trick of intimidation. And they play you fools, poor sheeples.

OK, me confused. I thought that OBL was the mastermind now we are being told it was Bander? I read the article but didn't see what his motivation would be. Why would the Saudi government want to piss off Washington? What would be their end game? Criminals have motives I just don't see it with the Saudis. If they were so chum chum with Bush they certainly need to work on how to show it.

Look folks time to grow up. Oswald killed Kennedy. There is no big foot. UFOs government projects. 9/11 committed by Muslim idiots.

Saddam had invaded Kuwait and Saudi in early 1990s. There was no surprise that Saudi had helped US to create a 911 false flag case to justify the war on Iraq. Saudi's next target will be Iran and its ally Syria. It was original accordant with US. It seems US has changed its strategy from Mid-east to Pacific but Saudi doesn't follow. They have a devergence in Syria now. That's why US gives a warning to Saudi.
