CIA videos reveal the missed chances to kill Bin Laden
Yosri Fouda and Nick Fielding
Wrangles stopped arming of plane
PREVIOUSLY unseen footage of Osama Bin Laden taken by a CIA spy drone
reveals how close the Americans came to killing the Al-Qaeda leader
two years before the September 11 attacks.
The pictures were filmed by a Predator unmanned aircraft and show Bin
Laden, in white robes, with a small group of followers at a training
camp near Khost in eastern Afghanistan at the end of 1999. The drone
was one of the first to be used in Afghanistan by the CIA, but because
of bureaucratic wrangles it was unarmed.
The pictures, thought to be the first spy plane footage of Bin Laden
to be published, have been obtained from American sources by
Al-Jazeera, the Arabic language television station. “We had no doubt
over his identity. Bin Laden can clearly be seen standing out from the
rest of the group next to the buildings,” said Michael Scheuer, a
former CIA officer who headed Alec Station, the agency’s unit which
tracked Bin Laden during the 1990s.
He added: “Nobody at the top of the CIA wanted to take the decision to
arm the Predator. It meant that even if we could find him (Bin Laden)
we were not allowed to kill him.”

A bit confused, aren't you? It was actually Condoleezza Rice who blew (so to
speak) multiple chances to keep 9/11 from happening. Last time I checked,
she's got her nose so far up bush's butt, she's got to be Republican.

Are you talking about one of many super competent black people that
Geoge W. Bush has running the government?

Seen frigid old Mrs. Bush lately? I bet Condi "blew" a few things in
the white house. The nose up the butt part could probably be taken
literally too.

All the dupes can do is blame someone who wasn't in office at the time
of the attack.

What???? That's WHY he's not under oath in the first place. Remember
the Oil Tycoons? They lied flat out to Congress but avoided any
charges because -- you guessed it -- not swarn in before testimony.

Amen! It will be interesting to see if he has the cajones to answer the
question.

To be fair, Bill probably hadn't got permission from Hillary yet.
