Some mildly interesting news as the week winds down.
A day before the Sept 11, 2001 attacks former US President Bill Clinton was delivering a speech in Australia and he talked about a time when he was in office and had the chance to kill Osama Bin Laden. The tape has just emerged.
“And I’m just saying, you know, if I were Osama bin Laden -he’s a very smart guy. I spent a lot of time thinking about him. And I nearly got him once,” Clinton can be heard saying as people in the audience laugh.
“I nearly got him,” Clinton continues. “And I could have killed him but I would have had to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and killed 300 innocent women and children and then I would have been no better than him. And so I didn’t do it.”
That’s an incredible coincidence.
