Yeah, when i first read the headline on some board, it read as "CLINTON LOSES HIS COOL AND GOES OFF THE DEEP END" so i was expecting the worst..and when i saw the clip they posted, which was fox news' 10 second clip of clinton saying that the bush admin didn't try with OBL...
So i had to find the full clip...and to my, admittedly biased, eyes, it looks like a well reasoned response to what wallace was trying to do. Admittedly, at first, it seems a bit more of a response than the question called for, but when you consider the movie that was just released that tries to put the blame solely on clinton, and you consider he is on fox news, so he is going to be a bit more cautious..and when you consider that he expected to talk about his global initiative a good majority of the time..then i could TOTALLY see where he's coming from. He remained more calm than i would have been, thats' for certain
On a related note, all people at work talk about now is how clinton was responsible for 9/11.....
i just don't get it.
