Osama bin Laden: missed opportunities [NBC blames Bill?]
NBC "obtained" film taken by government spyplane...plans 3 day series that at least in this promo/news spot teases with the idea that 911 is Clinton's fault.

Senior investigative correspondent
NBC News

Updated: 7:01 p.m. ET March 16, 2004As the 9/11 commission investigates what Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush might have done to prevent the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, one piece of evidence the commission will examine is a videotape secretly recorded by a CIA plane high above Afghanistan. The tape shows a man believed to Osama bin Laden walking at a known al-Qaida camp.

<snip>

In 1993, the first World Trade Center bombing killed six people.

In 1998, the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa killed 224.

Both were the work of al-Qaida and bin Laden, who in 1998 declared holy war on America, making him arguably the most wanted man in the world.

In 1998, President Clinton announced, “We will use all the means at our disposal to bring those responsible to justice, no matter what or how long it takes.”

<snip>

NBC News has obtained, exclusively, extraordinary secret video, shot by the U.S. government. It illustrates an enormous opportunity the Clinton administration had to kill or capture bin Laden. Critics call it a missed opportunity.

4. Keith Olberman did this story...
last night, however he brought up the spector of how impeachment and all the other political damage Clinton suffered probably contributed to his inability to kill Osama. 2 thumbs up for his truth-telling!
