President Bush Says Usama Bin Laden May Not Be Captured During His Time in Office

[sabra]

Source: "Fox News"

Capturing Usama bin Laden has been one of President Bush's top priorities during his time in office, but the president now seems to doubt the Al Qaeda mastermind will be found before his term ends next January.

Speaking about his goals for his last year in the White House, Bush tells FOX News in an exclusive interview to air this weekend that if U.S. military and intelligence knew where bin Laden was, they would have apprehended him already.

...

"If we could find the cave he is in, I promise you — he would be brought to justice or wherever he's hiding," he tells FOX News in "George W. Bush: Fighting to the Finish," a documentary scheduled to air Sunday, Jan. 27, at 8 p.m. ET.

...

"For the country, it's a matter of closure in many ways for those who suffered under the attacks," Bush said. "He's hiding. He's isolated. He's not out there leading any parades."

Bush says he is briefed at least once a week on bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders.

...

Bush says in the interview he's confident bin Laden ultimately will be found.

"He'll be gotten by a president," Bush says.

And to critics who say he hasn't done enough to find bin Laden, Bush is blunt:

"They don't know what they're talking about," he says.

1. he is in the bat cave

The cave he is in?

So he masterminded the biggest 'hit' on America from a cave?

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

40. Bus OWES it to the American people that OBL is found

pronto

I don't think OBL exists unless somebody proves it.

[ronnykmarshall]

2. Usama?

Fox News is that fucking stupid?

[tanyev]

12. That's the official Faux news spelling, don'cha know.

So much classier.

[Stewie]

38. That's the Pakistani spelling...

...as well as in a few other places, maybe even bin Laden's part of SA.

[Betty]

3. heckuva job, bushie

why don't you go take your nap now, asshole.

[madrchsod]

4. i misread..i thought he said---"may not be discovered in his office"

well he`s right-bin boy is in dick`s office or was that orfice? i`m confused ...i need a nap

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. He's probably hangin' at the ranch...

behind all the brush Dumbyass has been clearin'.

[ORDagnabbit]

5. hard to catch a known dead man.....

[Pastiche423]

36. And * knew he was dead in March 2002 when he said:

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

[Generator]

6. Bush also wanted everyone to know

the sun is hot. Bush is just making sure you know these things, he just found it out himself!

[geardaddy]

26. "Russia's big and so is China."

:eyes:

[Lost-in-FL]

8. TELL ME he didn't said that. n/t

[ima_sinnic]

9. awww ... isn't that special? you tried soooo hard to find him

--did he actually keep a straight face when he said this bullshit? did "reporters" actually scribble down his words as though those words meant something? without asking any questions?

somebody in the world actually thinks bin Laden is still alive?

how cute--our tax dollars at work, paying to have the nonsensical, blatant lies of the unelected dick-licking figurehead broadcasted back to us.

[katty]

10. really, Laura?! like this is a news flash?!!!

[flordehinojos]

11. it is to bush's advantage to keep him alive.

[Plucketeer]

24. It's to the whole

right-wing machine to keep bin Laden alive and lurking. Didn't hurt for us to see Saddam die - he wasn't really a threat anyway! But bin Laden..... he's a genuine threat and keeping him "out there" is justification for trampling ANY law Bush deems an obstacle to his whims. :grr:

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Can anyone verify that OBL is still alive in order to capture him?

[fed-up]

14. Bush FAILS at his TOP PRIORITY (and everything else-except lying and looting our country) nt

[ixion]

15. "frankly, I'm not that concerned about him"

-George W. Bush


"top priorities" Yeah. Right. Whatever.

It seems to me his "top priority" has been spying on American citizens, and destroying the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Exactly.

It's difficult to find someone when you're not looking for them.

[Scout]

41. beat me to it, but thanks! n/t

[mcscajun]

59. Dah-bum-bum! That's the punchline

for the worst "joke" of our age: Bush's on again, off again "love/hate" relationship with Osama bin Laden.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Alcibiades]

17. bin Laden not in cave

In related news, the CIA has been quietly complaining that their efforts to locate bin Laden have been hamstrung by the administration's insistence that bin Laden is in a cave. "We're flummoxed," said one source, who declined to be named: "I'm pretty sure that bin Laden is in a building somewhere, probably in the tribal areas of Pakistan. They have had buildings in that part of the world for over ten thousand years. Unfortunately, anytime we seek clearance to act on our intelligence, the administration refuses our request to go in, saying that we shouldn't waste our time because everybody knows bin Laden is in a cave, not a building."

[Caretha]

45. Good one! n/t

[RoccoR5955]

18. You may not be able to google it, but you can still Yahoo....

..."miserable failure," and the first entry on their search engine is the biography of this insult to humanity!

He couldn't find bin Laden, if bin Laden came and shook his hand. Either that, or he is hiding bin Laden in the basement of the White House, or in Texas.

[Joanne98]

19. DUH!

20. The Master Of Low Expectations strikes again

"I'm the Master Of Low Expectations"

George Bush on Air Force One, June 4, 2003

[gratuitous]

21. Well come on, people!

Little Boots only had seven years and unlimited resources. You expect him to be able to find one person with only that at his disposal? President Gentleman's C? As eminent philosopher Luke Skywalker once remarked, "You want the impossible!"

[Magleetis]

22. Stupid, evil and arrogant

all rolled into one. He is the worst.

[dysfunctional press]

23. so he isn't even going to allow anyone to try?

i'd sure like a president to tell people that they may not put me in jail, too.

[DrDan]

25. I wish this SOB would have a moment of truth and admit there was never

any intention of capturing him . . .

he would feel better if he would admit it. . . .

[yellowcanine]

27. "They don't know what they're talking about," he says. Such a tough guy!

[aldo]

28. Of course not, then they couldn't pull out a UBL video whenever they wanted to

Besides he probably died years ago, dragging his dialysis machine from cave to cave. They have so much invested in him as a boogie man -- you just don't throw that away. By the way, did you know that the FBI doesn't list 9/11 as one of his crimes? Hmmmm.

[seafan]

29. Before her assassination, Benazir Bhutto identified Omar Sheikh as the murderer of Osama bin Laden.

It would serve George W. Bush's purposes to continue threatening us with tapes of Osama bin Laden, keeping a lid on the news of his demise.

46. Digging up the corpse

of Bin Laden would not be on the agenda.

[Tempest]

30. Another failure Bush is leaving behind for someone else to clean up

So much for "dead or alive".

[sabra]

31. Bush says: "He'll be gotten by a president"

heck of a job there Bushie!

[tabasco]

32. This guy could have caught him by now.

[tabasco]

33. "Putting the Army on top of Iraqi oil more important," says Bush.

"We'll trust our good buddies the Pakistanis to smoke him out of his cave, dead or alive."

[David Zephyr]

34. Bush and bin Laden families have business ties for over 50 years.

Bush never intended to get Osama bin Laden. Never.

[sakabatou]

35. In other words, "He's not my fucking problem."

[Stewie]

37. Ya think?

[damntexdem]

39. Really? When does Osama's term in office end?

Maybe when they're both out of office, Dubya can walk with him hand-in-hand.

[Scout]

42. Osama is hanging out at the pig ranch in Crawford....

that's why shitstain spends so much time there!

[Canuckistanian]

43. Considering that Bush SHUT DOWN the OBL intelligence desk

That's a pretty obvious statement.

An un-captured OBL was the gift that kept on giving.

Fear and terror are now the ONLY reason monkeybrain is still in power.

[CRK7376]

44. As one who has

done a tour in Afghanistan operating out in the boondocks, ooops the whole country is boondocks,....big country with lots of caves and then there is that very porous border with Pakistan and their caves...I would much rather have all the troops and resources shrub sent to Iraq in Afghanistan seaching for OBL than in Iraq cleaning up a disaster....

[arewenotdemo]

47. Finding Bin Laden was never on Bush's to-do list.

After 9/11, Bush gave Osama all the time he needed to get the fuck out of Dodge. When, months later, Osama still hadn't left Afghanistan (Tora Bora), the Cheerleader had to get creative and guide him to safety in Pakistan.

Those Bush/Bin Laden family parties in the Kingdom can pick back up in 2 or 3 years.

[truthisfreedom]

48. "He's not out there leading any parades." Unlike you, gw, who lead a parade of SS men a thousand

wide and a thousand long. You're a freak, gw, and you're useless as hell.

You never could finish anything, could you, george? You couldn't finish your reserve time. You couldn't run a business without cheating... or using your daddy's friends, or eminent domain. You're a cheater, a liar, and you ran our entire country into the ground. You're much worse than bin laden, george. You're a useless fuckup.

[KingOfLostSouls]

49. oh he'll be found this year...

right after a daring attack to frighten the american people, then miraculously osama will be caught "dead or alive" about a month away from the elections.

like no one can say thats not a very possible scenario right there.

[Acadia Blue]

50. Bhuto said Osama was dead. The complicit media ignored it.

[MilesColtrane]

51. "He'll be gotten."?

What a retard.

[BreweryYardRat]

52. Gross incompetence, yet again.

We practically HAD the bastard at one point, and then Bush goes "Hurr, let the Pakistanis have the honor of bringing him in." They promptly botched the job. (Whether Bush knew/suspected they would or not is debatable.)

That should have gotten him tossed out of office.

[colorado_ufo]

53. Ya think?

Two reasons why:

Either

1) He doesn't wanna; or
2) bin Laden's already dead.

[Supersedeas]

54. even in the comfy confines of FAUX News, he still can't complete an articulate sentence

[focusfan]

55. Bush is Lieing

he don't want to capture his buddy that helped him out when he
was finiancial ruins

[Guaranteed]

56. Well, come on, he only had more than seven years to do it. nt

[onyxred]

57. We must capture him \"dead or alive\"

read a NY Post poster during the post 9-11 craze.

[TankLV]

58. ya know - you never DO see the two of them AT THE SAME TIME!

maybe osama without the beard disguise is...!

naah - ?!?!!

[Faygo Kid]

60. Bush loves bin Laden, who gave him the excuse for the f*cking Iraq war

Chimpster ought to send flowers to bin Laden every day for all he has done to push the Bush agenda.

[hyphenate]

61. No shit, Sherlock

Was it you or Cheney who put the call through to the batcave to let old pal bin Laden know you were making this announcement?

There are so many "if onlys" that the people in the country should have listened to and done. The biggest one was allowing you even near the white house, which has defiled our country ever since. "Coulda, woulda, shoulda," and now we will have a momentous battle to get back to where we once were.

[allisonthegreat]

62. No of course not Bush has to keep our military all over the globe

Just for the fact he says "He does not know where OBL is.."..ha!

[loves_dulcinea]

63. he fired a 2,000,000 missle

at a $2 tent and hit a camel in the butt.

[stlsaxman]

64. Sounds like a direct order- "OBL is not to be captured during my time in office".

No he may not.

[Trajan]

65. Bush: Loser disgusts a nation seeking justice

Bush: Failure in all things, except robbing the nation blind by stiffing the middle class ....

Bush: Complete and utter failure ....

Yep .....

[bhikkhu]

66. He's dead. Died in 2002. How long do we have to pretend?

The rest of the world knows it and probably thinks we are a bunch of fools.

Of course if it were known and accepted here then the well-timed scary-Osama tapes and videos would lose their purpose...

[sakabatou]

67. "Dead or alive?"

"I have no idea what the hell you mean. Heh heh heh."
