Thanks President Clinton

Let me be the first one here to give a hardy round of applause to former President Clinton here at the Red Voice. Good job, it's good to know that you had the nations interest at heart while you were President.

Washington, Aug. 16 - State Department analysts warned the Clinton administration in July 1996 that Osama bin Laden's move to Afghanistan would give him an even more dangerous haven as he sought to expand radical Islam "well beyond the Middle East," but the government chose not to deter the move, newly declassified documents show.

In what would prove a prescient warning, the State Department intelligence analysts said in a top-secret assessment on Mr. bin Laden that summer that "his prolonged stay in Afghanistan - where hundreds of 'Arab mujahedeen' receive terrorist training and key extremist leaders often congregate - could prove more dangerous to U.S. interests in the long run than his three-year liaison with Khartoum," in Sudan.


What could have distracted him so much that he was unable to focus on the security of the Country? Ahhhh, I remembernow.
