Wild Bill

Fox News lured Bill Clinton on under the guise of talking about the $7.3 billion that the Clinton Global Initiative just raised to fight global warming, AIDS and third-world poverty. Only when he got there, Chris Wallace started with this:

WALLACE: When we announced that you were going to be on Fox News Sunday, I got a lot of email from viewers, and I got to say I was surprised most of them wanted me to ask you this question. Why didn't you do more to put Bin Laden and al Qaeda out of business when you were President? There's a new book out which I suspect you've read called the Looming Tower. And it talks about how the fact that when you pulled troops out of Somalia in 1993, Bin Laden said "I have seen the frailty and the weakness and the cowardice of US troops." Then there was the bombing of the embassies in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole.

Clinton completely hammered him. A partial transcript is here, although the video will not air until tomorrow. In typical fair and balanced fashion, Fox is promoting the segment on its website under the headline "Crazed Clinton"
