Condi Resists Playing Bin Laden Blame Game

National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said Thursday that ex-President Clinton probably thought he was doing the right thing when he turned down an offer from Sudan in 1996 to have Osama bin Laden arrested and shipped to the U.S.

"The fact is that I'm sure that there were many times when people made decisions that at the time seemed the appropriate decision," Dr. Rice told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

She gave Clinton the benefit of the doubt after co-host Sean Hannity asked about NewsMax.com's recording of a February 2002 speech by the ex-president where he detailed the Sudanese offer.
"Doesn't that seem to validate the idea that the Sudan, in fact, did offer us bin Laden and we passed on him?" Hannity implored, noting that the 9/11 Commission had instead accepted Clinton's denials despite the smoking-gun tape.

"I've seen the reports of that," Rice told Hannity. "I don't know the veracity of it or anything. I don't know what the circumstances were."

Rice said the U.S. had failed to "add up what was happening to us" throughout the 1990s, adding that it wasn't until the 9/11 attacks that America realized al-Qaida was "an organization that we have to go after with full force."
