ABC is correct. 9/11 is Clinton's fault. Clinton could have gotten Bin Laden

He just didn't. He was more interested in getting ****.

HOLY CARP!!!
It is silly, IMO, to say that 9/11 is Clinton's fault. Clinton did not arrange for the attack. Clinton did not hijack those planes.

Similar (false) logic might tell us that Bin Laden's mother is to blame for 9/11 because she didn't take a birth control pill; Bin Laden's childhood friends are all to blame for 9/11 because they didn't murder him in his youth.

That's all silly. Bin Laden is to blame for 9/11. The hijackers are to blame for 9/11. Those who helped plan the attacks are to blame for 9/11.

Not Clinton, not Bush, not anyone else but those who planned/executed the attack.

Not assigning blame to anyone here, Sam. There was a thread elsewhere that the ABC series misreprents Clinton's dealing with bin Laden. Having not seen the series, I can't comment. However, these two clips do show us what we do know about those times.

There are other, more interesting, details, but they're not relevant at the moment.

George, I couldn't get the audio to work. Is this an audio tape of Clinton saying
the words on the screen?

I am not aware that the US had Bin Laden in custody at any time.

You have suggested we wait and see this- then you ask if ABC is correct.

I don't think that ABC is correct if can't make it's point in five hours without

misrepresenting the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor.

Daniel, there's some stuff before the text that I couldn't make out - the audio is garbled. However, the scrolling text that you see is an exact transcript of the audio.

No offense, but if you can't hear the audio then why would you believe so?

It doesn't make sense to me. Again, I am not aware that the US has had
Bin Laden in custody at any time.

No offense taken.

The part that is transcribed is clear as can be. I just didn't listen to the first part carefully. As to having him in custody, neither clip suggests that, I don't believe.

'I didn't bring him here because I had no basis upon which to hold him.'
Paraphrase- I can't cut and paste from the screen on this.

We're going to disagree- if there isn't a source the quote is being taken
from other than a webblog it's meaningless to me.

If you can find an actual transcript, I guess I'd be interested to read it.

But you're the one that wants to wait- I don't know why you keep not
taking your own advice.
