all of that goes back to president clinton's cowardice in not being willing to kill osama bin laden in the late one nine hundred ninety s. you know you pretty critical mr schorr of president clinton was that the major reason why you resigned back in ninety ninety nine. it was a big part of it sir and i'm not just critical of mr clinton i'm critical of any president of the united states who doesn't put the protection of americans first i think russians would feel the same way about their president or the british about the same their prime minister mr clinton just happens to be the one that i know best because i was responsible for providing information to him. i'm sorry i missed the lead the second part of your question i mean i mean was that the reason your. your criticism of the clinton that you resigned a war you were you rather dismissed from the cia ninety nine. no i resigned i was moved to a different job in may of in june of one nine hundred ninety nine we had just gone through a period in the last week of may in one nine hundred ninety nine where we know we knew exactly where osama bin laden was spending the night for five consecutive nights and

mr. clinton had 10 chances and used none of them. i think mr.ack obama deserves credit because i think he acted on information that was available to mr. clinton. thank goodness that he did. host: you said he had 10 chances, but after the attacks of 9/11, what was the reality that osama bin laden would have been brought in alive? guest: i think the reality was very little. i argued that we should never bring him in alive because we did not want him in the southern district of new york speaking for three years in a trial. i think that the president and special forces and the cia did the right thing to kill him. host: we are talking about the al-qaeda plot against d.c. and new york with michael scheuer, the former cia osama bin laden unit chief. we would like to get you involved in the conversation. the numbers are -- you can also reach us electronically via e-mail, twitter, or conversations on facebook. talk to us about the structure and the moving ahead of al-qaeda post osama bin laden. guest: i think is important to emphasize the tactical victor

mrs. clinton, who had greeted them at the door when we came in. i had given them a lot of warnings, "shake hands, look him in the eye, say something interesting," over and over. i was really pleased that when all of this little band of kids came that they headed right to him and did exactly that, and i don't know what they said but he joshed with them some. of course, he has a teenager of his own and he understands them. then they moved on to vice president and mrs. gore, and all of us went home to sen. and mrs. robb's house where we were camping out. it was like a bunch of old ladies after a tea; all of us had our story to tell. the kids were as excited as they could be, and they worried about chelsea -- "she doesn't have a chance to be a kid." i think the clintons have tried very hard to make her feel part of the action but without shoving her in front of cameras, and that's healthy. they also were impressed with the building they hadn't seen before, and they suddenly began saying "bill and hillary and tipper and al." that was kind of nice, too,

mrs. clinton was in san francisco today meeting with members of the australian government. she bases her opinion on a number of sources, both private and public that the decision to release shane bauer and josh fattal is legitimate. this even though yesterday iran's judiciary rejected president mahmoud ahmadinejad's announcement that the pair would be released in a few days. border guards arrested them along with sarah shourd on the iran/iraq border in 2009. she was freed a year ago. it is hard just to speculate about what is causing the delay inside iran. now, another sign that points to relief is the fact that the sultan dispatched a private plane to iran. it was on such a plane that sarah shourd was flown out after her release. >> thanks for the update. pull out your pocketbook. you're paying more for everything from gas to groceries. new numbers show the price for airline tickets and new cars going up. clothing costs 1% higher. and food prices, they've shot up almost 5% in the last year. which means the average family is spending $40 more a month for food. mary ann favr

former president bill clinton is joining us today from his home in chappaqua, new york. mr. president, welcome to the broadcast. i want to ask you about your clinton global initiative. but i have to begin with a news question because we have confirmed reports that tomorrow the president is going to propose a new tax on millionaires, everybody who makes over a million dollars. this tax would ensure that they have to pay at least the same percentage of their income as middle-income taxpayers do. do you think that's a good idea? >> i do. i don't know when it's supposed to take effect. you know, my position has been that we need a long-term deficit reduction plan, along the lines that the simpson/bowles commission and all these other bipartisan groups have proposed. they all contain both spending reductions below what everybody thinks we'll spend now and revenue increases. and if you look at the group that has had the biggest income increases and the benefit of most of the tax cuts of the previous eight years before the obama administration took office, those of us in that income

mr. clinton signed one law, and i was a novice, and was trying to understand finance.ecame an investor in 2000. well, that is a different matter. but this caught my attention, this 1933 law being repealed. it worried me. deregulation in general worried me. i did not understand the fundamental utility of things like that. but back to housing, chris cox and his fellows that had $200 million budgets, or 200 people and $60 million budgets? they reported to congress and they were supposed to explain their books. and they did not correctly state what books, how well balance they were. this seems to violate the law. i believe that they were under oath. i do not know where to go beyond that except to say one more thing. this is a different matter but connected. in in 2008, i went to my adviser and asked if i should be selling in august of 2008. he said to hang on to everything. i had volatile stocks. i did not know enough so i watched my holdings melt. there seemed to be a broad panic like out of the movie that jimmy stewart made with the run on the banks. from the top down, t

mr. clinton, i watched two of his former operatives and under the guise of ideas, they spun this web outas a result of the republican response to 9-11, we're facing a whole series of problems in this country, a whole cascade of maladies that we didn't have in the '90s when george bush was not there and president clinton was there. so '90s good. job production, happy people. 2000, bad. let's not prostitute the loss of 9-11 for winning brownie points and political points. let's solemnly observe this date. let's do it in a nonpolitical way that recognizes the sacrifice of americans on that day and the sacrifice of thousands of americans since that day. every day. >> steve: absolutely. peter johnson, jr. good observation. thank you. all right. first religious leaders were not invited to ground zero. now another slap in the face at the washington national cathedral. we're going to explain coming up. and the race for president coming down to seven key states. the man with the best record of predicting these things, dr. larry sabitow here with details.

mr. ambassador. bill clintoni believe you would say a friend of israel. listen to the exasperation in his voice right here. >> but sooner or later, everybody's going to have to come clean here. if the current government has decided that there will be no palestinian state and that they have no intention of having a reasonable settlement on the west bank, they should say that so the palestinians can get on with their lives and they should live with the consequences. >> it's not just the palestinians, sir, who are skeptical that the prime minister genuinely wants peace. >> well, i have nothing but respect for president clinton, but here you have the prime minister of israel who in his first public address, he was the leader of the party now, came out and embraced the two state solution. he gave that ten-month unprecedented moratorium on new construction in west bank settlements and by the way, the word unprecedented was the word the secretary of state clinton used to describe it. he removed hundreds of roadblocks an

mr. president, let hillary clinton run.teve chapman, a columnist and member of the editorial board for "the chicago tribune." good day to you. >> good to be here. >> first, there's some precedent here, what you write in your column of presidents who could have run for re-election but did not in the face of a hostile election. lpj decided ton run in '68. truman did the same in '52. make the case for the current president to sit the next one out. >> we've got about as bad an economy as we've had since the great depression. it's been going on for four years now. unemployment is not falling. the economy is barely growing at all. and the forecasts are that it's not going to grow much in the next year. so i think given that, it's hard for me to believe that the american electorate is going to go to the polls next november and give obama another four years given that he's had four years and the economy is no better. it's going to work against him. >> steve, a lot of polls show the president standing ground against gop contenders n
