That's the best gift can be given from the Americans to bin Laden. Or from Bill Clinton to bin Laden.

... So, in many ways, Bill Clinton played into bin Laden's hand by retaliating in the way he did. And actually played into your hands too.

I think people know now that bin Laden's at the [keel]. And he's the man who can meet the expectations of many Muslims for a man who can irritate and drive America crazy.
