Bush: U.S. pressing search for bin Laden

U.S. President George Bush Friday said the United States is pressing its search for terror leader Osama bin Laden.

At a Chicago news conference, Bush called "incorrect" a report this week that the CIA had disbanded the unit set up to track the Saudi dissident.

"We've got a lot of assets looking for Osama bin Laden," Bush said.
"We're going to stay on the offense as long as I'm your president. (Letting up would make) the world more dangerous. ... We'll bring people to justice," the U.S. president said.

1. Been almost *5 YEARS*! Bush has CUT AND RUN from bin Laden!

[wakeme2008]

2. Who are you going to believe Bush or the CIA...

:shrug:

[yellowcanine]

3. He never did look for OBL seriously after Tora Bora. And many would

say he could have done a lot more at Tora Bora.

[tabasco]

10. The Tora Bora operation was a sad joke.

Probably the most asinine aspect of that sham operation was getting the Pakistanis to "guard the border" for us.

There should have been at least two U.S. divisions guarding that border, but the majority of US forces were held back by the Bush corporate cabal and preparing to invade Iraq.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. This is called

a "caught your hand in the cookie jar" moment for Bush. And he's about as believable as a 5 year old with crumbs around his mouth.

[Nickster]

5. Wow, he just can't stop lying can he? The CIA JUST informed us that they

closed down the ALEC group a year ago....next day Bush says we are pushing to find him.

Up is Down, Down is up, Peace is War, War is Peace.....

[pansypoo53219]

16. he lies VERY easily

just like napoleon. i bet caligula did too.

[Sherman A1]

6. Super

And we are going to start - when??

[leesa]

7. He was stumbling alot with this answer. He looked like he was being fed

answers and trying to respond at the same time again. If we have any press, it should be easy to ascertain if the story was incorrect as the Prez maintains.

[bdamomma]

8. bush will never stop jerking us around

isn't everyone tired of it? how he keeps on lying, and treats us all as fools, pays no attention to what we say, just paying attention to his loyalists and his base. I am sick of him. little friday rant.

[ladjf]

18. Everything Bush utters is disingenuous. If he has ever spoken

anything that wasn't designed to somehow help his position,I've never heard it.

[kurth]

9. "Osama has got to be somewhere! ... Nope, no Osama over there....

... Maybe under here."

[madrchsod]

11. bush does not react to polls

he does not listen to anyone but the lord....lord vadar?

[ladjf]

20. I'm actually glad that I know he's lying about everything. Because

otherwise, what if the Lord told him to launch some nukes? How would be stop him? Someone would have to convince him that the Lord said to abort the launch.

[Up2Late]

12. Reuters Update: Bush: US pursuit of bin Laden undiminished

(But if they find him, how are they going to get $39.99 from each DVD of his "video messages" that the U.S. Government Contractors are selling!?!? They won't find him, he's long dead, see my DU Journal for more info or see link below)

Bush: US pursuit of bin Laden undiminished

By Tabassum Zakaria

CHICAGO (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Friday the U.S. hunt for Osama bin Laden was still on, denying the pursuit of the al Qaeda leader was less important after the CIA disbanded its bin Laden unit.

Following the September 11 attacks five years ago, Bush famously declared bin Laden was wanted "dead or alive," words he later came to regret after his wife Laura told him to tone it down.

The U.S. commitment to finding bin Laden was questioned after news the CIA had closed its unit overseeing the hunt for him and shifted those responsibilities elsewhere in the spy agency.

Bush dismissed that notion. "We got a lot of assets looking for Osama bin Laden," he said at a news conference at the Museum of Science and Industry.

"It's a matter of time, unless we stop looking. And we're not going to stop looking so long as I'm the president -- not only for Osama bin Laden, but anybody else who plots and plans attacks against the United States of America," Bush said.

13. "It's hard work. Incredibly hard." "We're making progress."

[acmavm]

14. First things first. This guy ain't my pResident. Never was.

Second, he has got to have set the record for bare faced blatant lies. Probably set it during his first term sometime.

This guy exhibits traits of several serious mental illnesses everytime he opens his mouth. Compulsive serial lying, total detatchment from reality, sociopathology, retardation (or some kind of learning disability. A serious one.) and these are just the obvious ones a layman can spot.

Sigmund Freud back from the dead couldn't make a dent in this clown's psyche.

[DELUSIONAL]

15. I second what acmavm said --

and add: If 90% of the US population can't see that bush is lying almost every time he speaks (except when he mis-speaks and tells the truth by mistake) -- then there is something seriously wrong with the vast majority of people in the US.

[ladjf]

17. Bush can't risk capturing bin Laden alive. It's either dead or no

capture. (sort of like Ken Lay) The CIA has closed down it's bin Laden search. So,if Bush is picking up the pace, who is doing the searching?

[onehandle]

19. Have you checked the basement of your dirt farm in Crawford?

Maybe someone should.

[ladjf]

21. Do they have a deep freeze?

[RaVeN MeaD]

22. Remember When....

His Majesty (bush) said that he didn't know where Bin Laden was and that he didn't think about him that much.....that's been a couple of years, why lie about it now.

[3waygeek]

23. Your title is obviously a misprint...

it should read "Bush: U.S. supressing search for bin Laden".

[Fire Walk With Me]

24. Give -me- $400 billion and I'll find Bin Ladin and deliver him

with a side of fries.

[truthisfreedom]

25. anybody catch a glimpse of his back this time?

did he have the "lump?"

[oasis]

26. Wolfe from "Newsweek" says Bush is the ONLY ONe who claims the story

is incorrect. He gave the details on Olbermann's "Countdown".
