mrs. clinton is very smart. he just thought -- and the problem for nixon was that mrs. clinton believed in the wrong things, and that's bigger government. but nixon was also a very fair man, and when mrs. clinton did things right, and when she was good and strong and effective, he said so. but when she was wrong, which was most of the time for nixon, he said so. and an illustration of this, which i think this puts it in great light is when mrs. clinton did go to testify about the health-care reform package she had put together. and he watched her testify, as you see from that quote, and he was dazzled by her -- said, "she's just great." and then he took a look at the package and he said, "well, it's totally wrong for america." c-span: how many times did bill clinton telephone richard nixon at his office or at his home? guest: he called him on a very regular basis, perhaps once every three or four weeks, for advice, particularly about foreign policy, but also about american policy and how to deal with the congress. c-span: how long would they talk? guest: it depended. the

mr. clinton had 13 opportunities to either capture him or kill him. and certainly mr. bush generals had a chance to capture or kill him at bora bora in december 2001. i think now, especially in the last five years, it's not surprising that we haven't gotten him. first, like any other thing in life, if you have an opportunity to do something and you don't do it, sometimes the opportunity doesn't come around again. but second, we have so massively undermanned our operations in afghanistan that they're simply not enough american soldiers and intelligence officers to go around. they have so many tasks and so few people to do them, that i don't think it's a surprise that we haven't gotten him at this point. >> well, that said, would you like to see the u.s. do in afghanistan, beef up or pull out or what? >> i think, sir, that we've been there too long. i don't think we have enough soldiers in the u.s. military if we committed every gratitude that was available to really rectify the situation. and america is a society no longer knows how to fight a war, no longer has the sto
