Clinton was never offered Osama (and turned it down). That's a fabricated rightwing myth in order to coverup the fact it was Bush who was AWOL on terrorism before 9-11.

No truth to it whatsoever. The truth is something like this, and this was confirmed by a Fox News panel of experts who all agreed, that an unsubstantiated offer from a mid-level Yemenese guy was made to a mid-level State Department guy in Africa. The offer never got to Clinton's desk. Not even to Sandy Berger's desk. It was never taken seriously.

Clinton fired 150 Cruise Missiles at Osama, formed Richard Clarke's WH Al Qaida desk which stopped the 1999 LAX bombing and also ordered a Pakistani hit team to go in and kill Osama. All this was disbanded by Bush when he came into power. Bush and Rice did not mention the word terrorism until after 9-11, and ignored the 8-6-01 warning about imminent Al Qaida attacks inside the US using hijackings. That's all facts.
