There was no attempt to even appear neutral in the interview, and Clinton remains in control the whole time.
Ok, it won't link directly to the video, but it's the last one at the bottom.

I dont know, none of us will ever truely know.

He says in the clip that one of his objections to how Bush is handling things is that not enough of an effort was made to get Al Qaeda and due to resources being wasted in Iraq, which had nothing to do with Bin Laden or 9/11. He didn't go in during his tenure because there was no certificatiion from the FBI and CIA and they couldn't get staging rights for troops in . . . Kyrgistan, I think it was. All of that changed after 9/11.
He explains it quite clearly. He doesn't object to troops and resources being used against Al Qaeda, just their being wasted in a country entirely unrelated while the one that harbored the terrorists responsible get a fraction of the attention.
