Officials: Bushies f*cked up on Bin Laden drone aircraft
Officials say that within days of fraudulent f*ckup Napoleon Bonehead taking office in January 2001, Bill Clinton's top terrorism expert on the National Security Council, Richard Clarke, urged National Security Adviser Condoleezza 'Oil Me!' Rice to resume the drone flights to track down Osama bin Laden.

In January 2001, the White House was told that Predator drones had recently spotted bin Laden as many as three times and officials were urged to arm the unmanned planes with missiles to kill the al-Qaida leader. But the administration failed to get drones back into the Afghan skies until after the Sept. 11 attacks later that year. - Yahoo News.

But here's another interesting piece, from the same story:

At a White House meeting of Bush's national security principals on Sept. 4, 2001, senior officials discussed several ideas, including use of the drones, as they finalized a plan to accelerate efforts to go after al-Qaida amid signs of a growing threat of a domestic attack.
Weren't we told that the administration never got intelligence about any domestic threats? Are they now admitting they were aware of the threat and didn't alert military or domestic security to be on alert? And if there were growing signs of an attack, wtf was Hopalong Nincompoop doing taking that long vacation at his Texas fleapit????
