Al Qaeda was invented in a NYC Court Room. Osama bin Laden was never the head of such an organization. How could Clinton go after something that doesn't exist?

Bush is the best friend of AL Qaida and let Osama go. Clinton was at war with Al Qaida and tried to kill Osama many times. Over 150 Cruise Missiles fired, plus a hunter-killer team which Bush disbanded. Bushies toally lie that Bush is tough on terrorists. He is not. He has actually given terrorists everything they ever wanted and increassed terrorism worldwide by 400%. Osama's "prophesies" have now come true thanks to Bush-Cheney and so the US is much more hated and Osama is much more revered in the Arab World. Bush has been terrible on counter-terrorism. And you cannot name a single major attack he's stopped. In the late 90's, AL Qaida was identified and targated. Clinton established an anti-Al Qaida office in the White House run by Richard Clarke. They were very vigilant and tried to kill Osama many times. They nearly succeeded a few of those times. They also stopped the Millennium 1999 LAX bombing which was a real threat with an actual carful of explosives seized. When Clinton was trying to kill Osama the rightwing congress complained that he was "wagging the dog" and trying to change the subject from Monica Lewinsky which was all the rightwing wanted to talk about. The rightwing congress may have saved Osama's life. It is a total rightwing fabrication that Clinton was ever offered Osama and turned him down. That never happened. Not even close. Clinton would have loved to arrest Osama. Bush disbanded Clinton's AL Qaida office, did not replace it, ignored the 8-6-01 warning, never mentioned terrorism as a threat to us until after 9-11, let all the top Saudis and Bin Laudens out of the country without questioning on 9-13-01 and then tried to blame it all on Saddam who had nothing to do with it. Bush also did not continue the USS Cole investigation which happened very late in Clinton's presidency. Bush also let Osama escape at Tora Bora and disbanded the hunter-killer Delta Force group which was after Osama. Bush in fact seems to be protecting Osama Bin Laden. It may be because the Bin Ladens are family friends and longtime investor and business associates of the Bush family. Or is it just incompetence? We may never know the truth. One thing we do know, when it came time for Dubai to take over 22 of our most vulnerable ports, Bush dropped everything else and went to bat for the Arabs.
