Bush's team wanted a "New Perl Harbor" to further their agenda of conquest in the oil-patch.

re: Bush was not long enough in the office to make the difference

You love the guy so much you would forgive him anything, even 9/11. Is it a physical or intellectual attraction?

"was not bin Ladin offered to Clinton on a silver plate and he let him go free?"

Which time was that?

This one?

Umm, no. Probably not.

Or this one?

These contacts with Sudan, which went on for years, have become a source of controversy. Former Sudanese officials claim that Sudan offered to expel Bin Ladin to the United States. Clinton administration officials deny ever receiving such an offer. We have not found any reliable evidence to support the Sudanese claim.

Sudan did offer to expel Bin Ladin to Saudi Arabia and asked the Saudis to pardon him. U.S. officials became aware of these secret discussions, certainly by March 1996. The evidence suggests that the Saudi government wanted Bin Ladin expelled from Sudan, but would not agree to pardon him. The Saudis did not want Bin Ladin back in their country at all.

Umm, I guess not that one either. What are you talking about?

"Bush was not long enough in the office to make the difference"

He'd been in office 9 months and had been given copious information and warnings about bin Laden, including a personal warning from Clinton. At what point does it become his responsibility?
