Bush says report CIA bin Laden unit closed is 'incorrect'
Does anyone have proof that he is lying on this one? I know, I know, his lips are moving, but I need a link for my repuke brother.

RAW STORY
Published: Friday July 7, 2006

Partial transcript from briefing by President George W. Bush in Chicago, IL, July 7, 2006:

QUESTION: You said some time ago that you wanted Osama bin Laden dead or alive. You later regretted the formulation, but maybe no the thought.

BUSH: I regretted the formulation because my wife got on me for talking that way.

QUESTION: We suspected as much, sir. But the question I have -- the question I have is, it appears that the CIA has disbanded the unit that was hunting him down. Is it no longer important to track him down?

BUSH: I -- you know, it's just an incorrect story. I mean, we got a -- we're -- we got a lot of assets looking for Osama bin Laden. So whatever you want to read in that story, it's just not true, period.

QUESTION: So you're still looking?

BUSH: Absolutely. No ands, ifs or buts. And in my judgment, it's just 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. We're going to stay on the offense so long as I'm your president. And my judgment is, if we let up the pressure on him, the world's more dangerous.

In the short run, we will bring these people to justice. We'll use good intelligence, we'll share information with our allies, we will work with friends, we'll bring people to justice. In the long run, the way you defeat this enemy is the spread of liberty. And that's what you're seeing unfold.

2. I'm thinking he stammered while making a decision...
then he made his decision..."No" (probably without knowing the facts), and then went into a short stump speech.

Now its up to Turd Blossom to fix it, get Tony Snow's jaw strings nice and tight, and all of a sudden we loose the Osama task force, but still are looking for Osama via panda cam.

See, its simple.
