Q Will we ever catch bin Laden?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I think so.

Q Yeah.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I really do. I think we've done a pretty good number on al Qaida. They're still out there, obviously.

Q Well, bin Laden's not leading the good life now, cave to cave.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: But Mike Hayden, our CIA director, gave an interview to the Post here -- I think it was last week -- a pretty good rundown of his take on the status of al Qaida and where we've succeeded and what the challenges still are. Nobody should relax. They're still out there; still working; trying to find ways to get at us. They haven't been able to, frankly, because of the good work of a lot of great people in the intelligence business; armed forces; some good decisions made by the President supported by the Congress.

...

THE VICE PRESIDENT: -- but the general view is that he's in that area up in eastern Afghanistan, western Pakistan. That's some of the most rugged country in the world. If you've ever flown over it, it's really remarkably difficult terrain. And he's gone to ground. He doesn't communicate. But I think eventually we'll get him. And as Joe said, the most dangerous job in the world these days is being number three in al Qaida because they keep getting taken out. (Laughter.)

2. Oh yeah, recruitment is up 5000%

That's quite a number.

3. Jan. 2001 $1.47 = a good number

Meanwhile, these bozos fell for it in a huge way, and they allowed one attack to put us at war and in debt $7 trillion, another "pretty good number" !!

I say the "pretty good number" talk is just a lot more "up is down" bull dooo!

5. That was Rummy, talking about WMDs.

"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."

I love that "somewhat" at the end. :eyes:

6. Yeah, transformed them from a handful of fanatics into a worldwide force. Real good job there. nm

7. They haven't been able to

see American troops are in Iraq to protect us from terrorist, yet American troop deaths aren't any concern. They haven't been able to hurt "us" were Republicans again and again don't include the troops as part of us.
