The spin goes like this.
Clinton went on FOX News to excite the troops. He jumped all over Chris Wallace to pick a fight with FOX News.
It may be that Pres. Clinton had that in mind. However, I don't know of anyone who thinks that this interview helped Pres. Clinton's image or his wife, Senator Clinton.
So what's going on? Pres. Clinton is obviously very sensitive to terrorism. He knows that history will be very harsh.
