bill clinton we know could have gotten osama bin laden when he was president two times. the fact that he's being thoughtful about this, and saying, i could have destroyed that small town in kandahar and killed 300 people. i think these are the tough decisions that presidents make. i also know that bill clinton challenged the cia on the report that they were giving about, is this an exaggerating picture of osama bin laden? isn't that what presidents are supposed to do? look, i think bill clinton was one of the worst presidents when it came to foreign policy. he gave the pakistanis the nuke. i don't know what is so terrible here with what bill clinton said. >> we are at war. we had a terrorist who was hell-bent on killing americans. wiping out not only israel, but also wiping out western civilization. he had the kill shot, he didn't take it because he was worried about sol villagers who frankly would have been collateral damage. we lost 3,000 americans the very next morning. things may have been different. >> that's the interesting thing. first of all, imagine if he had, i

newly released audio reforms former president bill clinton talking about a chance he had to kill osama bin laden in the 1990s. the old recording of clinton was aired by sky news australia, that's where he spoke on september 10th, 2001, just hours bere the 9/11 attacks. >> osama bin laden, he's a very smart guy, i spent a lot of time thinking about him and i nearly got him once. i nearly got him. and i could have gotten -- i could have killed him, but i would have had to destroy a little town called kandahar in afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children and then i would have been no better than him and so i didn't do it. >> the commission which investigated the 9/11 attacks previously noted four missed opportunities to strike bin laden during clinton's term. there's been no reaction yet from the former president himself. >>> and dramatic new pictures just in of deadly gas explosions in taiwan. take a look. at least five powerful blasts sent cars and chunks of concrete flying. dozens of people were killed including four firefighters who were investigating a possible gas leak. it's

his closest partner was osama bin on. >> yes, sir. >> i have two questions. one, if i recall correctly, in afghanistan. masada. a suicide bomber. if the stinger had not been introduced how much longer greedy thank this war would have drawn upon? my second question, where was china during this time? why did they feel that way? >> the chinese were critical . not only provided a lot of the armaments -- because after all china produced soviet-style weapons. the chinese-made ak-47, looks a lot like a soviet-made ak-47. determined during the war to take the war inside couple. the cia could not find a rocket propelled weapons that could fire into couple from insurgents controlled territory they might have come on there own any way. he saw this chinese is a critical player. one other thing. chinese are universally regarded by the afghans as the best quality weapons they got. the weapons that they got from egypt they regarded as the worst quality weapons that they got. the chinese did it. by 1979 the soviets split had gone so far that it was not -- there was no chines

terrorism in the middle east is not over the problem of radical islam is not over but certainly osama bin laden planned and executed an attack against the united states in which three thousand of our citizens were killed and president obama made a decision to go after him and to go after him personally and eliminate him by the way we did not decapitate him we simply shot him i'm just quoting some of those obama shots with that so this was this was this was done and i think it was clearly a good day for everybody because i think osama bin laden was dedicated to the proposition that the more people he could kill the better so that was good but what we are dealing with now is a continued development of a very nasty form of of terrorism and it is happening in syria and it has spilled over into iraq and frankly could spill over elsewhere so i think it's very important that like minded countries and i would include russia in this calculation should try to come together and look for a solution as we go as we. can i just interject over that little comment here isn't it interesting that you mentio

ladin out and allowing the two of you know opened its franchises pretty much all over the region osama bin laden was responsible for killing thousands of americans and as a consequence we hunted him down and killed him and i think that was the right policy with regard to saddam hussein he was guilty of some of the worst atrocities the world has ever seen he attacked his neighbors and his forces also attacked american forces and continued to attack americans throughout the. america and then isis let me continue now i do believe that as we look at the problem in syria the problem in syria is beyond simply the problem of terrible leader in the form of bashar assad i think it's a problem of lack of political consensus on how to go forward and this is a debate that we have in the united states quite often about how to go. many of the points that you made about iraq are points that many americans make about iraq every day so we have a rather strong debate on this issue and my own view on the syria question and space specifically on the isis issue is that we need a kind of political way forward o

let me explain why.mes, osama bin laden said several times, there are three things .at he wants the u.s. to do. supporting tstop their local dictators, to get our troops out of their countries, and to stop so interfering in theirm affairs.cr we didn't. and so this was, in some way, a criminal, but a logical response on their part.ar and i would handle it as a criminal act. a giant, a large criminal act, n but not a military act.li >> but how would a criminal act -- even a criminal act requires police. how would 5% of police go apprehend bin laden?stan >> well, to start with, what they did in afghanistan, going b in anthere, helping to bankruptm the u.s.hi we had to borrow the machioney the chinese in order to attack w afghanistan. i would say that if -- if osama bin laden was responsible forw fo it, he could have been tracked n down by mercenaries who would do it for the money and then shouln have been tried for the crime. not in a kangaroo court like this but a real court. >> the russians have about c 15,000 nuclear warheads.tate many other countries have later nucle
