Taliban had no problem in America assassinating Bin Laden in 1998 – why Clinton Administration did not act? Why Bush Administration let him escape from Torabora?
The newly-declassified documents, posted on the National Archives website, provide a fascinating glimpse into US diplomacy exerted on Afghanistan's ruling Taliban a regime officially unrecognized by Washington—nearly three years before the September 11, 2001, Al Qaida attacks on the United States.
According to the US State Department documents, top Taliban officials, during secret meetings with the US officials in 1998, discussed assassinating or expelling Osama bin Laden in response to Al Qaida's deadly bombings of American embassies in Africa.
Taliban had no problem in America or any one getting rid of Osama Bin Laden but said it could not do so itself because for that it could get overthrown.
Why Clinton Administration did not do what finally Bush Administration did after 9/11?
International think tanks believe Taliban never provided details of Bin Laden’s whereabouts and US Administration at that time still regarded Taliban as friends who not long ago ousted the Soviet military from Afghanistan.
A lesson learnt from this is that you cannot spare the terrorists thinking they will not dare attack you. Terror operators should be taken out decisively and fast the moment they are recognized.
It is fascinating to note that Clinton Administration did not go and get Bin Laden even after Taliban secretly said it had no problem with that. Bush Administration allowed Bin Laden to escape in Torabora by sending some North Afghani militia to catch him. He bribed the Afghanis and escaped into Pak-Afghan border.
