Slick Willie tells a whopper

And the newsies fall for it, hook, line, and sinker.  A bit of elderly video came to light yesterday, where in Bill Clinton says "I could have bagged Osama Bin Laden in Kandahar except it would have caused 300 Afghan casualities." 
   The "300 casualties" is pure BS.   That's might happen if you had USAF carpet bomb the place.  Which is the wrong thing to do. You will likely miss him, and you never know if you got him or not. Instead load some infantry into helicopters, fly in, surround the place, and go thru it house by house.  The only casualties will be among the locals stupid enough to fire on the Americans.  Bring some interpreters, interrogate the locals, and you will get him.  In fact that's how we finally did nail him in Pakistan many years  later.
  The newsies, even Fox, lapped up the "300 casualties" line and never questioned it.
