The only thing really newsworthy about this is that he was speaking on Sept. 10, 2001 less than 24 hours before the attacks. It's no secret that he had several opportunities to take out Osama, but for one reason or other, failed to do so.
I'm not going to defend Bill on this, but we all can look back and Monday Morning Quarterback the decisions that have been made since the start of the nation. It's one thing to look back now and say "he should have" and another to say every President has regrets on what they could and should have done.
One of his advisers told him privately at the Presidents Cup (golf) that OBL was in the cross hairs and needed the word to kill. He didn't want to be bothered at that time. It's all in the book Dereliction of Duty, it's a good book from a retired USAF Msgt who carried "the football".
Clinton had the chance 3 times to kill OBL.
True, me too. He was a much better president his 8 years than Obama's first week.

Ya'll have to remember his first two years was a train wreck. He was on the same path Obama's on, he lost both houses of congress. His saving grace was after getting kicked in the midterms he backed off his far left plans.
Measured and reasonable, hindsight is always 20/20.
