Chris Wallace asked to interview Clinton about his global initiative.
Instead, it was a attack about Bil Laden. Chris Wallace, a puppet of the conservative Fox Network, lied to get Clonton on his show. He knew it would be good for ratings.....which he doesn't have.
Another lie.
Clinton met with Richard Clarke, his anti-terrorism chief regulary for years. Bush met with him........TWICE.
Clinton captured several terrorists involved in plots like the 1st WTC explosion. BUSH CAPTURED NONE UNTIL AFTER 9/11.
WHY DID FOX NEWS LIE TO GET CLINTON ON THEIR SHOW?

I'm proud of Clinton for telling off the Fox network.

Wallace arranged the interview....specifically to talk about Clinton's global initiative. Wallace, without delay, bashed him about Terrorism.
Wallace lied to him to get the interview, which he needed to boost his ratings.

Tricked? From what I've heard, the agreement was for 15 minutes of talking about his global initiative and 15 of anything Wallace wanted to ask. It was Clinton that became belligerent and essentially took over the interview. Wallace tried a couple of times to get the interview back on track, but Clinton wouldn't stop being defensive about his record.

It is not like Clinton would openly want to discuss the mistakes he made when dealing with terrorism foreign and domestic... He is only interested in promoting his 'fluff'. He was a horrible President, but a teflon politician while in office.
I wish more reporters would stop the fluff treatment of the liberal politicians and get them to sit down and talk about the real issues. Force them to use logical argument and actual evidence instead of liberal rhetoric.
I am not a huge Fox News fan, but props to them for cornering Clinton.

How sad to see a knee-padded Clintono-phile complaining not that Clinton was once again exposed for the self-serving mediocrity that he has always been, but railing against the media for 'tricking' the publicity whore into getting in front of a camera.
Pathetic.

Why did Fox lie? That like asking why do fish swim. They needed to get him on to try, once again, to blame the terror attacks on him. If you saw the interview though, he didn't allow that to happen. Clinton bravely pointed out his errors as well as his accomplishments. Then Wallace tried to change the subject to the initiative, but Clinton was hell bent on making his point, which he did very well, I might add.

If Clinton is that easy to trick he really is a useless politician.
He blasted conservatives calling us "neo-cons", He said he tried to find bin laden, and he looked like a real Arkansas redneck by attacking Chris Wallace without any fancy speech writers.
He really did us a favor by screwing it up for Hillary didn't he!
If you do not remember please think about the USS Cole, The two American embassies and of course, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing by guess who.....al quaida.

Oh didn't you see Chris Wallace blubbering and fumbling. What a joke he is. To think Clinton can be manipulated like the bumbling idiot Bush.

I'm glad that Clinton appeared on Fox, because it was a golden opportunity for him to tell those neocon bastards off and come off best. By the way, where the hell is Osama bin Laden? It's been 5 years since the attacks, and Bush STILL hasn't caught him!

All they do is lie. Oh it was great to Clinton give it to that weasely little "journalist". All Fox news does is spread lies and misinformation.Clinton wouldnt have gone on the show if he knew what they were going to do. The fact he went on that show at all proves what a great man he is. Fox news and conservatives trash Clinton on a daily basis and blame him for all the problems of this country, yet he still went there to speak about something he believed in.He was trying and they just showed what an *** they are.

They agreed on a format of 7.5 min on CGI and 7.5 on ANY other topic. Why couldn't Willy 'set the record straight' and move on? Instead HE went off on a tangent and would not move on to the CGI topic. Too bad he screwed himself here, because I think hes FINALLY doing something 'worthy'.
