President Bill Clinton had the opportunity to stop, catch, or kill bin
Laden
more than twelve times during his presidency, a new book set for release
this week claims.

And Jr. Bush has all but given up on finding him intending instead to wage
his vendetta at our expense on Saddam Hussein, manufacturing evidence,
missinterpretering evidence to his favor and in general being unobjective.
When was the last time you heard President Bush speak of Bin Laden?

And on at least two occasions through Drones and Global Positioning
Systems the Clinton Administration knew exactly where bin Laden was
-- and refused to take him out well after knowing he was as a national
security threat.

They did send cruise missles on one occasion, and took great heat for it.

Former WALL STREET JOURNAL editorial writer Richard Miniter
and REGNERY Publishing are set for lift-off on LOSING BIN LADEN
[ranked #52,682 on Amazon's hit parade Sunday evening].

A Novak column on the book is set for Monday, and the WASHINGTON
TIMES will serialize later in the week, according to sources, but only the
DRUDGE REPORT can present an exclusive first look:

LOSING alleges and details:

* Osama bin Laden's rise to power and the September 11 attacks were d
ue to the inactions and failures of former President Bill Clinton and key
members of his administration who followed a law enforcement approach
to fighting global terrorism as opposed to engaging a war on terrorism on
national security grounds.

* How each failure by Clinton to retaliate made bin Laden look invincible
in the Arab world, allowing bin Laden to attract new recruits and money.

* The 1993 World Trade Center attack --- documents how Clinton refused
to believe it was a terrorist attack and viewed the bombing as an FBI
investigation therefore blocking the CIA from entering the investigation
on matters of national security.

If we choose to blame Clinton for the 9-11 attack, we must blame Bush senior
for the 1993 attacks.

* Drawn from secret Sudanese intelligence files, the full story of bin
Laden's
role in shooting down America's Black Hawk helicopters in Mogadishu,
Somalia.
This is the story that "Black Hawk Down" missed

Again we wouldn't even have been in that role in Somolia but for Bush
Senior..

* President Clinton and a Democratic Senator Dennis DeConcini prevented
the CIA from hiring Arabic translators-while bin Laden and Arabic-speaking
terrorists killed Americans across the Near East.

I find that hard to believe, perhaps we had enough Farizi speaking
operatives and didn't need more.

* The story of Saudi Arabia's attempt to assassinate bin Laden in 1994.

* One of the FBI's most-trusted informants, Ali Mohammed, an Egyptian
soldier,
was given a military security clearance but was actually a double agent
working
for bin Laden.

Who hired him? Bush, Reagan or Clinton?

* How the Administration engaged a policy to get Bin Laden removed from
the Sudan back to Pakistan and Afghanistan only to get him closer to
training
camps and his recruits making him even more dangerous and embolden future
terrorist acts.

These were training camps we had paid for with when Bin Laden was our good
buddy under Reagan.

* How Assistant Secretary of State for East Africa Affairs Susan Rice
blocked opportunities to work with the Sudanese government looking to
turn over bin Laden to the United States.

The Sudenese government has never been friendly to the US. Why should we
have believed them?

* Documents numerous Sudanese attempts to work with the United States
to capture bin Laden only to be rejected by the US State Department.

* How the Monica Lewinsky and fundraising scandals, as well as a consuming
desire to be re-elected, prevented Clinton from waging a war on terror and
bin Laden and prevent 9/11
..
He kept our Soldiers out of harms way knowing he would take heat for the
timely launching of cruse missiles

* For more than two years Miniter interviewed soldiers, diplomats and
intelligence operatives in Middle East, Africa, and Europe but found his
best sources were, to his surprise, top level Clinton administration
officials
including former National Security Advisor Tony Lake, former National
Security Advisor Sandy Berger, former Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright, Clinton's counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke, and
former Director of Central Intelligence James Woolsey.

They were doing their job by being on top of the situations, able to
assimilate information from several aources and give informed answere.
