"“What difference does it make?".......right? Rolleyes:
You want to try to find someone to hang for the needless deaths of Americans in the Middle East?
Fine. Shouldn't we at least go in order? Before we deal with the 4 in Libya, how about we deal with the 4000+ in Iraq?
Fair enough?
If you really want to dart a blame game of leadership roles, Im sure we could go back much further than that:
June 25, 1996, when a truck bomb exploded outside the Khobar Towers barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, tearing the front from the building, blasting a crater 35 feet deep
August 7, 1998, bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania
October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole — All those attacks and lives lost ...... Interesting that when a serious terrorist attack occurred, it seemed Bill Clinton was always busy with something else.
Well, now that you bring up reference to the rapist Clinton, let's remember that he refused to help solve the Khobar Towers attack....and Former FBI director Louis Freeh had to appeal to Bush 1.
"Freeh had another reason for wanting to outlast Clinton. It was the 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia, where
19 U.S. servicemen died and more than 370 were wounded.
President
Clinton had sent the FBI to investigate and promised Americans that those responsible would pay. "The cowards who committed this murderous act must not go unpunished. Let me say it again:
we will pursue this. America takes care of our own. Those who did it must not go unpunished," the president said.
But Freeh says the President
failed to keep his promise.
The FBI wanted access to the suspects the Saudis had arrested but then-Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar said the only way to get access to prisoners would be if the president personally asked the crown prince for access.
Freeh says
Clinton did not help him. He writes in his book:
"Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudi's reluctance to cooperate, and
then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library."
"That's a fact that I'm reporting," says Freeh.
It's a strong charge. And 60 Minutes wanted Mr. Clinton's side of all this. He declined to talk to 60 Minutes, but told his spokesman to say: "The assertion that he asked the Saudis for funding for his library while he was president is absolutely false."
And Clinton's former national security advisor, Sandy Berger, told us that Mr. Clinton did press the Saudis to cooperate with the FBI.
Freeh says to get access to the Saudis' suspects, he eventually sought help from another president, the first President Bush.
"Former President Bush, at my request interceded with the Saudis, spoke to Crown Prince, now King Abdullah, asked for his assistance and it happened just like that."
The FBI concluded that Iran had orchestrated the Khobar attack, but Freeh said the White House
did not want to pursue the prosecution, because Iran had just elected a new president and Clinton hoped to improve relations with Iran.
"I was very disappointed that the political leadership of the United States would tell the families of these 19 heroes that we were going to leave no stone unturned and find the people who killed them, to give that order to the director, because that's the order that I got, and then to do nothing to assist and facilitate that investigation.
In fact to undermine it," says Freeh.
