Clinton was offered bin laden on a silver platter-I Respond

I wish I could megaphone this to the entire backwards ass crater that the neo-cons live in.

I say:

Osama was never offered to us on a silver platter.

You are referring to the old neo-con argument that Sudan offered us bin Laden back in 1997.

First of all it was an American born businessman named Manssor Ijaz who had business ties to Sudan who allegedly made the offer to broker a deal for bin Laden's capture.

Now since you neo-cons follow American law so much being the patriots that you are you understand that U.S. policy dictates that it does not do business with private businessmen when it comes to international matters including terrorism.

I.E. NO GOVERNMENT OFFERED TO BROKER A DEAL WITH THE UNITED STATES CONCERNING BIN LADEN.

Secondly in 1997 what were bin Laden's crimes against America? even if Clinton had accepted his transfer he would've been being held illegally as at the time there was evidence of bin laden committing or plotting any crimes against America.

The embassy bombings took place in 1998 on African soil.

After this and other attacks such as the Cole the Clinton Admin did a damn sight more than the Republican Neo-Con driven agenda ever did to put a hault to terrorism from the creation of Network Centric Warfare to pressuring nations such as Pakistan (the country whom belongs the ISI who took funding from the US int he 80's during the Soviet-Afghan war) to start cooperating or start losing business interests with the U.S.

You stupid fucks need to stop living in and re-inventing the past. Quit the childish blame Clinton first bullshit because the facts do nothing to back you on these idiotic sentiments.

Although people like Reagan are not directly responsible for the attacks of 9/11 it sure as hell didn't help that his administration had no problem financing our would be enemies for the future problems they would come to create. (Iran-Contra)

It sure didn't help that the bush crime family was in league with the bin laden family namely Saleem bin Laden through the contacts of James A Baker.

It didn't help that the Neo-Con Republicans chose whom they considered the lesser of two evils when they bankrolled and sold weapons to Saddam in his war against Iran and then later sent 100,000 troops to protect (and piss off) Saudia Arabia which prompted bin laden to start a campaign of hate against the United States.

And it really doesn't help that assholes like you stand by complacent with a crooked government who ultimately harbors sympathetic feelings towards governments that harbor terrorists and have theocratic structures in place. At the same time they sucker cowards like you to believe that without them you are not safe, while they turn a blind eye and profit to their oil buddies like Marty Miller the CEO of Unical who had the fuckin taliban ministry to his place for Christmas dinner

I always found it humorous how one of the taliban spokesman chided Marty for putting a tree up for Christmas as it "insults Jesus Christ"
