even though the CIA asked him several times, when bin Laden location was known.

Someone appeared on CNN and talked about it.

At that time it was not clear that the Talibans were our enemy.

But since 9/11 they were. And we sent troops to Afghanistan to fight them. But then we diluted the troops by sending, and keeping them in Iraq and now the Talibans are stronger then ever. They dispense their own "justice" and then show movies of the tortured people that they kill.

The CIA guy speculated that Clinton was afraid of international reaction (and he probably was right) and, of course, he was worried about the Republicans seeing it as "wagging the dog."

What is Bush's excuse?
