Transcript: Counterterror Experts Debate Clinton Claims on 'FNS'
Fox News ^ | October 1, 2006 | Fox News

Posted on 10/02/2006 2:08:18 AM PDT by windchime

The following is a partial transcript of the Oct. 1, 2006, edition of "FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace":

"FOX NEWS SUNDAY" HOST CHRIS WALLACE: Bill Clinton said a lot of things in our interview last week. How much of it was true? Well, we've assembled a panel of experts to discuss just that: Daniel Benjamin, a counterterrorism expert for the Clinton National Security Council; Michael Scheuer, who ran the CIA unit that hunted Usama bin Laden; and Lawrence Wright, author of a behind-the-scenes new book on the run-up to 9/11 called "The Looming Tower."

We should note we invited Richard Clarke, the counterterrorism expert President Clinton mentioned last week, but he declined.

"Clinton placed a propagandist on the council rather than an expert on national security."

I missed that. Thanks!

Clinton NEVER rescinded the ban on assassination. They NEVER tried to kill Bin Laden.

In his excuses tour shortly after 911, Clinton was claiming that that law prohibited him from directly targeting OBL. Clinton is trying to have things both ways --- he couldn't go after OBL when that was deemed unpopular, but he did go after OBL when it was deemed popular.

Clinton still spins based on the populist currents and polls.

I thought Scheuer was going to HIT that Clinton guy.

At least that is what I was hoping!

"Did you catch the line where he accused Wallace of accusing him of "giving aid, and comfort to OBL, in Somalia"?

Where did that come from? Out of left field, or straight outta Freuds backside?"

 

There are interesting posts and comments within these threads:

"They NEVER tried to kill Bin Laden."


And Scheuer confirms that.

Oh, this leaves out the absolute BEST PART!

At the end, when Wallace was talking to the panel, he said that the response was NOT PLANNED, that the entire time Clinton was going off his "handlers" were jabbing Wallace's producer in the back, telling him to STOP the interivew.

And he said not only did Clinton yell and scream at his "handlers" when the show was over, he actually threatned to FIRE THEM ALL!

Thanks for posting this, windchime!


***PING FOR REFERENCE!!!!

"In both cases, the first sign this is coming is when he starts wagging the finger....."


The finger wagging is a characteristic he has in common with the jihadis. Maybe it's a control or authority thing...haven't researched it.

"It has to be SEEN to be believed!"

And it makes it SO much easier to analyze the comments. Interesting that Richard Clark declined to participate.

Thank you. I was more shocked by clinton's words on trying to KILL bin laden than anything else. Was he admitting to a conspiracy to murder someone? Not that I would have minded in this particular case but why has no one called him on this statement that he made more than once with Chris?

I didn't know this, though I have heard Sheurer say he quit the CIA and wrote his book to get the story out. He objects to the blaming of the intelligence community which he says did their job and delivered Bin Laden.

What I love is Wright saying that Bin Laden was broke when he went to Afghanistan but sold unexploded cruise missiles to China and Pakistan who re engineered them.

What is truly amazing is that the diplomacy crowd who scream that everybody hats us now did not have good relations with countries like Pakistan and Bush does. I am certain Bush could confidentially tip anyone in the Middle East without Bin Laden knowing. Go figure.

"Never pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrel."

This still applies. But only to Bush. As far as they're concerned, Bush picked a fight with them on everything from Kyoto to ABM to taxes, and he's got the resultant deluge of bad ink.
