From the horse's mouth

"al Qaeda emboldened by feeble Clinton administration."


Part 1: From Salim Hamdan, OBL's driver. (h/t Doug Ross)


Osama bin Laden's driver told a pair of FBI agents that it was America's fault that the al Qaida leader was alive...The United States could have killed bin Laden in Khartoum, Sudan, before he moved to Afghanistan in 1996, Hamdan told his interrogators. They could have killed him after al Qaida's 1998 twin bombings at the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Or after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, at the port of Aden in Yemen, which left 17 U.S. sailors dead.Instead, ''Bin Laden was emboldened.'' So he struck with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, leaving nearly 3,000 dead.



Part 2: From OBL hisself. (h/t Gateway Pundit)


We experienced the Americans through our brothers who went into combat against them in Somalia, for example. We found they had no power worthy of mention. There was a huge aura over America -- the United States -- that terrified people even before they entered combat. Our brothers who were here in Afghanistan tested them, and together with some of the mujahedeen in Somalia, God granted them victory. America exited dragging its tails in failure, defeat, and ruin, caring for nothing.


Now, think about Obama being in charge.


Geeze. You can practically see his marionette strings.
