I'm not a huge fan of Bill Clinton. But this interview on Fox News Sunday is great. Wallace attempts to ask Clinton tough questions, then not allow him to completely answer. It comes off as a weak attempt by Wallace to hurt President Clinton's image. Clinton doesn't stand for it and backs up his attempts to catch Bin Laden. He even bluntly admits his failure. Great interview.

[Edit:] This has turned into a big story. First it should be noted that Fox News performed some very selective editing of the interview. ThinkProgress has more of the complete interview transcripts.

As Jon Stewart pointed out much of the mainstream media ignored the facts Clinton raised and focused only on reporting his emotions and the tone of his voice. As if Clinton's anger is more important than his actual record and that of his successor. Condoleezza Rice spoke in defense of the Bush administration. Of course the newspaper which spoke with her and published her comments is owned by the same company as Fox News. Oddly she uses the 9/11 commission to back up her arguments, while previously she did nothing but fight the commission's creation and made every attempt to prevent officials from cooperating with them. She also failed to add any facts to the debate with Clinton, instead claiming the 9/11 commission has already made everything perfectly clear. Yet the two people who headed the commission tell us there are still many unanswered questions. Let's hope no one believes here spin.

[Edit:] Rice claims "We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al Qaeda." But just five days after President Bush was sworn into office, a memo from counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke to Rice included the 2000 document, "Strategy for Eliminating the Threat from the Jihadist Networks of al-Qida: Status and Prospects." This document directly addresses specific issues Rice claims were not mentioned by Clinton when Bush entered office. We can now label Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a liar with very specific evidence. If she's going to lie so bluntly Congress should remove her from office.
