According to a newly-unearthed
long-lost videotape
of Bill Clinton speaking
to a group of businessmen in Australia
on the tenth
of September 2001
he said he "nearly got"
and "could have killed"
Osama Bin Laden
but he "would have 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.”
In response
key Republicans made
some profound talking points
such as
"What are you talking about?
Military actions
never have unintended consequences"
"We are always better"
and "Regardless of doing something
we wanted our party to do
we for sure would've found
a way to blame you
for not taking action sooner."
