CBS Airs New Footage of Clinton Denying bin Laden Offer

In an effort to counter the growing perception that President Clinton forfeited America's best chance to arrest Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks, "CBS Evening News" anchorman Dan Rather aired new footage Monday night of Clinton strenuously denying that the government of Sudan ever offered to extradite the al-Qaida mastermind.

In a segment initially edited out of Sunday night's "60 Minutes" broadcast, Clinton tells Rather: "To the best of my knowledge it is not true that we were ever offered [bin Laden] by the Sudanese, even though they later claimed it. I think it's total bull."

In more remarks deleted from the original broadcast, the ex-president claimed:

"Mr. Absurabi, the head of the Sudanese government, was a buddy of bin Laden's. They were business partners together. There was no way in the wide world this guy who was in business with bin Laden in Sudan was going to give him up to us."

During Sunday night's telecast, the portion of Clinton's comments on the Sudanese offer aired by CBS was far more abbreviated.

"I don't believe that is true," he said. "There was a story, which is factually inaccurate, that the Sudanese offered bin Laden to us. As far as I know, there is not a shred of evidence of that."

The Clinton-CBS publicity machine ratcheted up denials about the Sudanese offer after talk radio stations from coast to coast aired audiotape on Monday of a February 2002 speech in which Clinton admitted that Sudan had indeed offered him bin Laden, but that he had turned the offer down.

"At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America," the ex-president explained, in comments recorded exclusively by NewsMax.com.

Clinton's characterization of the Sudanese story as "bull" was first reported Thursday by the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz, based on his interview with Rather.

But "60 Minutes" spokesman Kevin Tedesco insisted to NewsMax later in the day that Clinton never uttered the word "bull," explaining instead that Rather had attributed the word to Mr. Clinton erroneously.

"Clinton never used the word 'bull.' That was Dan Rather's word. Clinton never said that," Tedesco said.

"60 Minutes" declined NewsMax.com's offer to share its recording of Clinton admitting he had turned down the Sudanese offer, and instead let Clinton's denial stand unchallenged.

In a March staff report issued by the Sept. 11 Commission, commission investigators said that every Sudanese official interviewed about the bin Laden offer confirmed the story, while every Clinton official they spoke to denied it.

In his own April 9 interview with the Commission, Clinton said he'd been "misquoted" in reports claiming that he had confirmed the bin Laden offer.

9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said two days later that at the time of Clinton's interrogation, he was unaware that staffers had obtained a videotape of Clinton's 2002 speech where he detailed the Sudanese offer.

Clinton's expanded denials were posted to the CBS News Web site after Monday's "CBS Evening News" broadcast.

Listen to the recording that was too hot to handle for "60 Minutes" - along with Hillary's denial of the bin Laden offer.


What a Crock of ****... Clinton is a POS... here's what he said...
"At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America,"

1996 Kobar Towers Saudi Arabia... I was on tour in Kuwait and 2 Frickin Days after we pulled out of there.. Kobar Towers went up... There were Terrorist Threats daily at the bases over there...

Clinton: No Evidence I Passed Up bin Laden Offer

Ex-president Bill Clinton insisted to "60 Minutes" on Sunday that there's no evidence he turned down an offer from Sudan to have Osama bin Laden arrested in 1996, even though he admitted two years ago that he had indeed spurned such an offer.

Asked about the accusation by 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey that he "let pass opportunities to arrest or kill the al Qaida leadership," Clinton told CBS's Dan Rather, "I don't believe that is true."

Without any prompting from Rather, Clinton zeroed in on the Sudan episode specifically.

Swallowing with a determined nervousness before he began, the ex-president insisted:

"There was a story, which is factually inaccurate, that the Sudanese offered bin Laden to us. As far as I know, there is not a shred of evidence of that."

In fact, the evidence of such an offer includes Clinton's own admission to a New York business group on Feb. 15, 2002.

"Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan," Clinton told the Long Island Association. "He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in 1991, then he went to Sudan. And we'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again.

"They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.

"So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have. But they thought it was a hot potato and they didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."

Last Thursday, NewsMax.com offered "60 Minutes" its exclusive recording of Clinton's bin Laden admission.

After initially expressing interest in obtaining a videotape of the remarks - filmed by the Long Island Association but never before shown in public - a "60 Minutes" spokesman said producers thought there was little difference between what Clinton told Rather and his earlier comments.

"Clinton didn't say Sudan had offered to arrest bin Laden, did he?" the spokesman argued.

During Sunday night's broadcast, Mr. Rather made no mention that Clinton had earlier admitted to turning down the Sudanese offer.

In its June issue, Vanity Fair magazine called Clinton's failure to accept the Sudanese offer "the most devastating" charge against him, saying it was also "the hardest charge to dismiss" because of Newsmax.com's recording.

at the time the most Powerfull man in Office.. and he let him Go.. it wouldn't look good for his Image... fired 60+ cruise missiles at some tents in the deserts and called it payback... if you read the report.. many times Clinton let Bin Ladin go... and if Kerry gets in office you can bet we'll have another 911 somewhere in America... and the sad thing is... Nothing will get done about it....
