Bill Dreams of Clintons Storming Mongolia by Horse like Genghis Khan's Horde

September 24, 2014

Former President Bill Clinton says he wants his entire family to join him on travels through the Mongolian steppes as though they were all part of "Genghis Khan's horde," Clinton said in an interview with ABC News.

"I still haven't been to Mongolia. I do want to ride a horse across the Mongolian steppes; try to imagine what it was like to be in Genghis Khan's horde. I'd still like to climb Kilimanjaro before the snow goes," Clinton, 68, told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos at the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting.

"And there are a few other places I haven't been that I'd like to go. I'd like to travel and I hope that I'll still be strong enough and well enough to travel when I have a grandchild old enough to take with us. Meanwhile, I'll try to get Hillary to go with me and Chelsea and Marc when they're ready again," he said referring to his wife, daughter, and son-in-law Marc Mezvinsky.

Genghis Khan is one of the history's most successful conquerors, who conquered for the Mongols an empire the size of Africa.
