I have a question. Bill Clinton, as part of his rant, claimed that he "contracted to have him killed" (Bin Laden)

Since when does the President of the United States of America hire killers to go out to kill someone? To listen to Clinton, he did everything he possibly could to kill Bin Laden. This is stunning to me. No other president in recent history, that I know of, ever did something like that. Not even Richard Nixon put a hit on a foreigner like that. Democrats would be going nuts if it came out that President Bush put a hit on anyone.

Yes, we've had bombings in the past but I distinctly remember President Reagan saying he bombed Lybia but it was bombing the targeted complex, not targeting Muammar al-Gaddafi or anyone else. The Democrats at the time were going nuts that Reagan may have been targeting a country leader. Now, Bin Laden was not officially a country leader, but had this happened under President Reagan, Ford or Bush the elder, they would have gone nuts. But, old Bill gets a pass?

That's why I'm hoping Fox has a team listing and checking out Billy Jeff's claims. Doesn't that explicitly violate the existing Executive against assassination? If he did, in fact, create a "finding" that makes it legal that should be on record somewhere, even if "secret." You can't tell me that someone won't be willing to confirm or deny the existence of such a document on "deep background."
