Documents show that U.S. and Taliban bargained over Bin Laden
Trauma-san:
Here's 1 example of Bill Clinton admitting it HIMSELF, to a group of Businessmen in Long Island, in 2002. Now; when the 9/11 commission asked him about this, he said that he must have misspoke, that never happened.
"We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again, They released [bin Laden]. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America. So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have. But they thought it was a hot potato and they didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."
Of course in '96 Bin Ladin had already been linked to the NY bombings by several newspapers, as well as bombings in Saudi Arabia against U.S. citizens.
When the 9/11 commission met, Clinton told them he never said that. They told him they had the tape, lol, and he then said that he misspoke when he said that, he was never offered Bin Ladin by the Saudis. He was then backed up by Sandy Berger, who just got busted and admitted to stealing 9/11 related Clinton-era documents out of the National Archives. How convienent.

You mean to say that politicians lie? I won't believe it. They're the most honest men in all the land.

You brush it off like lying isn't a big deal. Everyone is pissed that Bush lied about there being no WMDs in Iraq, but yall are quick to turn your heads about this. And let's not forget, he previously lied under oath as well.

Why would any self-respecting liberal want to give a conservative that kind of power? Everyone and their mama knew Gore wasn't going to win the election. Clinton fucked up.
