When asked about his efforts to combat terrorism on the September 24, 2006, airing of Fox News Sunday, former President Bill “Clinton said that though he failed, at least he tried to kill bin Laden while [President] Bush did not. ‘They had eight months to try,’ Clinton said. ‘They did not try. I tried.’ ”
