Bush Saved Osama Bin Laden at Least Twice
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/05/03/bush-saved-osama-bin-laden-at-least-twice/

President George W. Bush was said to be an ally of Osama Bin Laden. He became Osama Bin Laden’s shield and protector by refusing an offer by the Taliban to give Bin Laden to America.

Here is the story by The Independent...

After a week of debilitating strikes at targets across Afghanistan, the Taliban repeated an offer to hand over Osama bin Laden, only to be rejected by President Bush.

:snip:

It is believed Bush protected Osama because he realized that Osama was more profitable to The Republicans alive rather that dead, for their Election in 2004. If Osama Bin Laden was allowed to live, he would be the threat that keeps on giving…even if he was never seen again. Just the “threat” of him being able to attack us again would be enough for the Republicans to instill fear in the Republican base and thereby win the 2004 Elections. This did come to pass. Was this the “Architect’s” plan?

3. Add 2 more times.
The outgoing Clinton administration recommended that the incoming Bush administration make hunting down AQ, and OBL in particular, their top priority. The Bush administration explicitly ignored that advice.

And in 2006 Bush eliminated a group (within the CIA I think?) which had been working since the Clinton administration to track down AQ and OBL.

Either of those actions, had Bush43 done elsewise, may have captured/killed OBL during Bush43s 2 terms in office.
