Bush on catching OBL: "It's just a matter of time, unless we stop looking"
Bush says report CIA bin Laden unit closed is 'incorrect'

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

QUESTION: ...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.

1. here's something to ponder ...
Edited on Fri Jul-07-06 04:48 PM by welshTerrier2
it is widely believed that "the terrorists" believe they will be rewarded if they die fighting the American infidels ...

suppose, just suppose, they offered bin Laden a deal to surrender just before the November elections ... how about a few billion dollars paid to Al Qaeda? how about advanced weapons systems? would he sacrifice himself to help his cause? who can say ...

but is it just possible bush would sell out his country for a major public relations coup?

nahhhhhhhh ... probably not ... that would be like, totally immoral ... wouldn't it??

3. He was given the removal of US troops from Saudi Arabia in exchange
for using his name as the finger for 9-11. They knew he would die soon of kidney failure so he gets what he wants, US out of SA and they get to blame 9-11 on some Goldstein.
