He made his comments at a paid speech in Melbourne, Sky News reported.
“And I’m just saying, you know, if I were Osama bin Laden — he’s very smart guy, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about him — and I nearly got him once. I nearly got him.”
“And I could have killed him,” Clinton continued, “but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I didn’t do it.”

How exactly would he murder him??
Hah, the US reserves the right to kill anyone at any time and anywhere without regard to Sovereignty of nations or due process.
Or haven't you heard of Cruise missiles and drones?

First of all that's not him personally then and second of all, he wasn't even in office. So again, how would he murder him?

hey, hey.....we don't let the obvious facts get in the way of bashing Clinton, or any other democrat here on ATS.....Clinton could have ordered president George Bush to kill OBL on Sept 10, 2001, everybody knows that. (rolls eyes)
By 1995, U.S. intelligence officials were paying attention to bin Laden because of his multimillion-dollar family fortune, his hostility to the United States and his ties to known terrorist groups. "He was considered a dangerous man," recalls Philip Wilcox, the top counterterrorism official at the State Department at the time.
Senior administration officials were intrigued when Sudan, eager to improve its dismal relations with the United States, secretly offered in early 1995 to turn over bin Laden to the Saudi government, which had exiled him 4 years earlier. But the Saudis declined.
"They were afraid it was too much of a hot potato, and I understand where they were," Clinton recalled at his speech to association executives. He said the United States was helpless to take up Sudan on the offer directly: "We couldn't indict him then because he hadn't killed anybody in America. He hadn't done anything to us." (Only in 1996 would bin Laden's links to the first World Trade Center bombing and the Somali battle become known.)
what is weird is he mentioning this 10 hours before the attack, how does this entered the talk?
I don't think you're following along too well. The irony the OP sees here is that Clinton made this statement 10 hrs before the event, not that he could have killed him then. Clinton could have killed him before he left office. ~shakes head and sees why the country is such a mess with a liberal running it. They have difficulty with even simple matters.
