Bin Laden escaped the Clinton Administration

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video flashback: U.S. drone had Osama onscreen — in 2000

If these drones were out looking for terrorist why would they not be armed? Were they not specifically looking for terrorist?

Is having Bin Laden on a platter twice and turning it down something that the Clinton Administration should be given a pass on? I personally dont think so. I also do not know why the administration was so relaxed when it came to finding and prosecuting terrorist. While clearly you can't cast all the blame on the Clinton administration their faults and problems especially with reguards to terrorism were significant and played a major role in where we are today.

according to the wiki page on the predator drone, it seems like the drones weren't equipped with the hellfire missiles till '01

A number of Predators have quick-reaction laser designators so they can act as airborne forward air controllers for allied tactical aircraft. Following a series of tests in 2001, some of those Predators have been armed with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles guided by those laser designators.

I didn't realize that till today, I thought armed drones were part of our arsenal since 1999.

How about you prove that actually happened first.

Media Matters - Hannity repeated lie that Sudan offered bin Laden to Clinton

The difference is Clinton was a pussy and we all knew it. Bush isn't. And Bush let it happen after 9/11.

Blame Clinton! Blame Clinton! That's our chant, hoorah!

I like how Bush gets a pass for not putting in enough troops to capture Osama after 9/11 when we're in Afghanistan, preferring to leave that job to an Afghani warlord with questionable loyalties instead of sending in American troops

Hell, there was a request for 5-600 rangers by one of the Commandos that was out there, and it was DENIED! AFTER 9/11!

But some situation that never really happened and Clinton gets all this shit over it..

OMFG, that's quite a collection of links you have there.: Infowars and and Prisonplanet are both run by Alex Jones, who has been saying for years that Bush planned 911. Newsmax and Frontpagemag? Do you have anything reputable? Have you ever really looked into the accusation that Clinton let Bin Laden go? Or have you just taken guys like Alex Jones and Sean Hannity at their word?
