Bill Clinton: “Killing these people. Why? Because he belonged to some crazy religious cult that convinced him he had the right to do…”

“Killing these people. Why? Because he belonged to some crazy religious cult that convinced him he had the right to do that. So that's what I feel. I think it's quite a tragedy because he's an intelligent man, and he can be an engaging man. And I talked to him in Paris, and I thought we had an understanding. I was quite surprised actually in the beginning--he knew after what I did in Bosnia that I would do this. So I don't know how he could have thought I was bluffing him after what we went through in Bosnia, when I said, ``If you do what you intend to do in Kosovo, this is what I will do.'' He should have been under no illusion. I think he thought maybe the other Europeans wouldn't stay hitched. But I made a decision--I agonized through 2 long years of what we went through in Bosnia, and I was not about to let all those people die again. I just was not. I couldn't do it. So, anyway, that's my impression. I think it's quite a tragedy really, because he has a lot of ability.”
