The pot calling the kettle black

Ok, after falling out of my chair laughing, I must respond to former President Clinton faulting the Bush administration for inaction on Bin Laden. In this piece, Clinton stated,

"But at least I tried. That's the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now," Clinton said when asked whether he had failed to fully anticipate bin Laden's danger. "They had eight months to try, they did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed."

Calling up an article about the 9/11 Commission results dated 24 Mar 04, it notes the Clinton administration had at least four chances to kill Bin Laden with a armed Predator, but failed to do so even after Bin Laden was tied to attacks on the Khobar Towers, facilities in East Africa, and the USS Cole. Clinton had 8 years to get Bin Laden and failed to do so, according to his own statement above.

Ok, Bush didn't do it in his first 8 months of his presidency. So how does that give Clinton the right to fault Bush for not taking the necessary action against Bin Laden for 8 years?

Since, 9/11 Bush has literally gone of the warpath after Al Qaeda to such an extreme that Democrats in Washington are calling into question his actions, but yet the former president has stated he did not and is not doing enough to hunt Bin Laden.

This statement from Clinton is especially elightening given the fact that Bin Laden is thought now to have died on 24 Aug 06 due to typhoid. Could this statement be an attack into a suspected bounce that both Bush and Republicans would get in the upcoming elections if Bin Laden's death is soon confirmed?
