JayS:
I just wish Clinton would have tried this with Tim Russert, because there’s a guy who actually knows how to do his homework for an interview. Maybe then, instead of cowering and letting Clinton turn the interview into another slick willy spin speech, he might have brought this up:

But, as much as I’m not a Bill Clinton fan, I have no doubt he would have done more to get Bin Laden had he had some magical power to see what was going to happen on 9/11. There has been way too much monday morning quarterbacking when it comes to 9/11, from both sides, but that’s politics.
As for this interview, it simply doesn’t impress me. A better interviewer would have been better prepared and Clinton wouldn’t have been able to spin things so easily.
Best post so far.
If Clinton wanted to catch Bin Laden so bad then why did he endorse and sign a bill that wouldn’t let the CIA and FBI share intelligence in 1996?<scratches head>
