Bin Laden Escaped Three Times Before 9-11

Bin Laden Escaped Three Times Before 9-11

Three different times prior to the World Trade Center attacks, US officials spotted Usama Bin Laden with predator surveillance planes. But this was before the US had deployed armed Predators. The first successful test of a hellfire-armed Predator was just one month before 9-11. How would the world look today if Bill Clinton had been more supportive of the CIA and national defense? What if we had made more progress on armed Predators during the Clinton years? Hmmm.

I don't like blaming Bill Clinton for everything that happened after he left office, but I just know that Democrats will be blaming Bush for not getting Bin Laden in the few months he had in office before 9-11.

Speaking of predictions, let's all try to guess how many who criticized Bush's pre-emptive war against Saddam Hussein, will find fault with his administration's failure to attack Bin Laden before 9/11/2003.
