From the "if only I had" department we get this from former Bill
Clinton, courtesy of the conservative news site [1]News Max.com,
quoting a New Yorker interview:

Ex-president Bill Clinton now says he would have taken out Osama
bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks if only the FBI and CIA had
been able to prove the al-Qaida mastermind was behind the attack on
the U.S.S. Cole.

"I desperately wish that I had been president when the FBI and CIA
finally confirmed, officially, that bin Laden was responsible for
the attack on the U.S.S. Cole," Clinton tells New York magazine
this week. "Then we could have launched an attack on Afghanistan
early."

"I don know if it would have prevented 9/11," he added. "But it
certainly would have complicated it.

Despite his failure to launch such an attack, Clinton said he saw
the danger posed by bin Laden much more clearly than did President
Bush.

"I always thought that bin Laden was a bigger threat than the Bush
administration did," he told New York magazine.
