Updated: 11:50 a.m. PT Sept 24, 2006
NEW YORK - In a combative interview on “Fox News Sunday,” former President Clinton defended his handling of the threat posed by Osama bin Laden, saying he tried to have bin Laden killed and was attacked for his efforts by the same people who now criticize him for not doing enough.

“That’s the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now,” Clinton said in the interview. “They ridiculed me for trying. They had eight months to try, they did not try.”

Clinton accused host Chris Wallace of a “conservative hit job” and asked: “I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked, ‘Why didn’t you do anything about the Cole?’ I want to know how many people you asked, ‘Why did you fire Dick Clarke?’”

He was referring to the USS Cole, attacked by terrorists in Yemen in 2000, and former White House anti-terrorism chief Richard A. Clarke.

Wallace said Sunday he was surprised by Clinton’s “conspiratorial view” of “a very non-confrontational question, ‘Did you do enough to connect the dots and go after Al Qaida?”’

“All I did was ask him a question, and I think it was a legitimate news question. I was surprised that he would conjure up that this was a hit job,” Wallace said in a telephone interview.

Clinton said he “worked hard” to try to kill bin Laden.


“We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody’s gotten since,” he said.

He told Wallace, “And you got that little smirk on your face and you think you’re so clever, but I had responsibility for trying to protect this country. I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I regret it, but I did try and I did everything I thought I responsibly could.”

The interview was taped Friday during Clinton’s three-day Global Initiative conference.

Clinton came off as thin-skinned, paranoid, overly defensive and angry. He made a fool out of himself over a simple question. Claims he was set up. He's probably still pissed about the movie, The Path To 9/11.

He rambled on and on, repeating himself. Richard Clarke, Richard Clarke, Richard Clarke!!

He seems obsessed with his legacy. Only natural I guess, considering all the scandals and his impeachment.

For those of you out there who missed it, here's a portion of the transcript:


Wallace: Mr. President, why didn't you do more to try to get bin Laden?

Clinton: Waaaaaahhh! How come you're asking ME a question and you didn't ask Bush?? Waaaaahhhhh! Did you ask Rumsfeld? Waaaaaahhh! How come you're asking ME that question It's not faaaaiiiirr!!! waaaahhhh! I want my momieeeee! waaaahhhh! It's not faaaaiiiirr!!! It's a vast right-wing conspiracy!!! waaaaahhhhh!!

From the Democrats' point of view, the whole purpose of the 9/11 commission was to absolve Clinton of any blame for terrorism... why do you think the Democrats just HAPPENED to select Jamie Gorelick to be on the Commission, when she should have been called as a witness, as she's the one who built 'the Wall'?

Clinton, Fox anchor battle in interview

By KAREN MATTHEWS, Associated Press Writer

1 hour, 45 minutes ago

NEW YORK - In a combative interview on "Fox News Sunday," former President Clinton defended his handling of the threat posed by Osama bin Laden, saying he tried to have bin Laden killed and was attacked for his efforts by the same people who now criticize him for not doing enough.

"That's the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now," Clinton said in the interview. "They ridiculed me for trying. They had eight months to try, they did not try."

Clinton accused host Chris Wallace of a "conservative hit job" and asked: "I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked, 'Why didn't you do anything about the Cole?' I want to know how many people you asked, 'Why did you fire Dick Clarke?'"

He was referring to the USS Cole, attacked by terrorists in Yemen in 2000, and former White House anti-terrorism chief Richard A. Clarke.

Wallace said Sunday he was surprised by Clinton's "conspiratorial view" of "a very non-confrontational question, 'Did you do enough to connect the dots and go after Al Qaida?'"

"All I did was ask him a question, and I think it was a legitimate news question. I was surprised that he would conjure up that this was a hit job," Wallace said in a telephone interview.

Clinton said he "worked hard" to try to kill bin Laden.

"We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody's gotten since," he said.

He told Wallace, "And you got that little smirk on your face and you think you're so clever, but I had responsibility for trying to protect this country. I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I regret it, but I did try and I did everything I thought I responsibly could."

The interview was taped Friday during Clinton's three-day Global Initiative conference.

On NBC's "Meet the Press," also taped Friday and aired Sunday, Clinton told interviewer Tim Russert that the biggest problem confronting the world today is "the illusion that our differences matter more than our common humanity."

"That's what's driving the terrorism," he said. "It's not just that there's an unresolved Arab-Israeli conflict. Osama Bin Laden and Dr. al-Zawahiri can convince young Sunni Arab men, who have — and some women — who have despairing conditions in their lives, that they get a one-way ticket to heaven in a hurry if they kill a lot of innocent people who don't share their reality."

Act Three, Scene Two: Clinton Criticizes Bush (Again)

Stage show rolls on with Katrina backdrop in tow

Steve Watson | September 22 2005

The Houston Chronicle reported that former President Bill Clinton, asked by President Bush to help raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, offered harsh public criticism of the Bush administration's disaster-relief effort on Sunday, saying, "You can't have an emergency plan that works if it only affects middle-class people up."

Clinton's comments on the ABC News program This Week could prove awkward for the White House, given Bush's eagerness to involve his Democratic predecessor in a high-profile role to raise money for the hurricane's victims, the Chronicle reported.

So what was the Bush response to Clinton's "tirade"? "I still like him" Bush Snr responded.

Clinton criticizes Bush
Former US president Bill Clinton sharply criticised George W. Bush for the Iraq War and the handling of Hurricane Katrina, and voiced alarm at the swelling US budget deficit.

Breaking with tradition under which US presidents mute criticisms of their successors, Clinton said the Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq "virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, with no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction."

On Hurricane Katrina...blah blah blah

Clinton, and his supporters are acting as if he was ambushed by FOX, when it was the other way around. Chris Wallace is a mild-mannered journalist, but he asks tough questions of everyone. I watch his show every Sunday. Clinton's Deaniac moment was staged...red meat for the Left.

Clinton's used to softball questions, like the ones from Keith "Moonbat" Olberman and Timmy Russert from Meet The Press.

Really? According to Democrats, Saddam was never a threat because he supposedly had no WMDs...THAT'S the very reason Democrats say that Saddam wasn't a threat!

So bin Laden can be a threat with or without WMDs, but Saddam can only be a threat if he actually has them? OK, now I get it...

btw, Rush has already nuked Clinton's assertion that Republicans didn't support his trying to bomb bin Laden... Rush retrieved quotes from Newt Gingerich and Trent Lott (top Republican in the House and top Republican in the Senate at that time) who are on record as totally supporting Clinton in his actions... also quoted were Dan Quayle and a couple of other former high-ranking Republicans...

Republicans at that time believed that, even though a Democrat was occupying the White House, that the country should be united when attacked... unlike that party that's been in the minority since that time.

So much for yet another of Clinton's lies...

RUSH: I want to give you a contrast here of how Clinton is treated elsewhere in the media. We put together a montage of Larry King, Meredith Vieira at NBC, Greta Van Susteren, on Fox, Tim Russert, and another guy at MSNBC -- Keith Olbermann, all interviewing former President Clinton, just to contrast the treatment he has been used to for -- well, since 1992, the presidential campaign '93.

KING: Now, the purpose of your initiative, overall, is to make the world a better place, right? How's your health? Did you see the Al Gore movie?

VIEIRA: If you had a genie, what wish would you want granted? You have lots of intelligence. When the New York Times recently ran a front-page article about your marriage, do you think that was fair?

VAN SUSTEREN: How's your new best friend, President Bush 41?

RUSSERT: What do you think is the biggest problem confronting our world, the biggest?

OLBERMANN: This was transcendent, these last three days, the number of people that you reached here and the convictions and the generosity. Here's eight more schools in Kenya for me.

CLINTON: Oh thank you.

RUSH: "Thank you." (Laughing.) These people all live in their own little world. It's a circle.
