Nope. Bin Laden was a SA agent, never was paid, armed or trained by US. We funded the mujahideen, but not Bin Laden or any other SA freedom fighters.

No one knew the extent or the danger of Al Qaeda before 9-11. Putting blame on Clinton does not make sense. If it was that obvious, then Bush should have done something before 9-11. The blame is Bush's by this logic. And now 2 years after 9-11 bin Laden is still at large. I think that shows how difficult getting bin Laden is, even when you have boots on the ground in Afghanistan.

So why didn't Bush get right on this task if it was so obvious that Clinton should have taken him on? Why didn't Bush mobilize to take out UBL on day one?
