Scheuer made his comments on CBS's "Early Show" with Harry Smith.
Money quotes:
"The president seems to be able, the former president seems to be able to deny facts with impugnity. Bin Laden is alive today because Mr. Clinton, Mr. Sandy Berger, and Mr. Richard Clarke refused to kill him."
"Oh, I think there's plenty of blame to go around, sir, but the fact of the matter is that the Bush Administration had one chance that they botched, and the Clinton Administration had eight to ten chances that they refused to try..."
"...But it's just, it's an incredible kind of situation for the American people over the weekend to hear their former president mislead them."
Note that Smith repeats what Clinton claimed, namely that the CIA and FBI couldn't verify that bin Laden was behind attacks on America. Therefore Clinton was unable to kill bin Laden. Smith and Clinton want you to forget that Clinton indicted bin Landen in 1998 for numerous attacks on America. So, Clinton had the verification in 1998 and refused to act as Scheuer maintains.
The Democrats are going to be sorry they decided to refight Clinton's abysmal record on terror.
