Clinton was never offered OBL. Never happened. I have proven that a dozen times in past posts. That rumor was started by the rightwing based on one low-level Arab's claims, which were denied and proven baseless by the people who were actually in charge at the time.

The rightwing also bases this myth on an assumption that Clinton's statement that he begged Saudi Arabia to take OBL from Sudan meant that Clinton was somehow able to arrest him, even though we didn't even have evidence yet that OBL was behind the emnbassy bombings.

The rightwing made up this lie because they felt they needed a way to try and blame Clinton for 9-11, and promote the myth that Bush is protecting us, even though 9-11 was on Bush's watch, Bush was totally AWOL on terrorism, Bush disbanded all Cliton's counter-terror operations and Bush and Rice clearly ignored several dire warnings, including the 8-6-01 warning which we all saw testified about during the 9-11 COmmission hearings.

In fact the only presdient that ever let OBL go was Bush at Tora Bora when we clearly had him trapped, but Bush refused to send in the Army Rangers.
