Becuase he's hiding

[IJ Reilly]

Mr Bush would not be drawn on setting a timetable for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, despite recent comments by Secretary of State Colin Powell that troop numbers could be reduced by the end of this year.

"I am realistic about how quickly a society that has been dominated by a tyrant can become a democracy. And therefore I am more patient than some," he said.

When asked why the administration had so far failed to locate Osama Bin Laden, more than three years after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US, the president responded, "Because he's hiding."

Well, I'm certainly reassured.

Yeah, the moment you threaten to hunt down and kill him, he goes in hiding, of all things! I mean, who could have predicted that?

But you just wait. One of these days, he's going get an overwhelming urge for a burger at McDonald's -- then we've got him.

"Because he's hiding."
There are no words...:rolleyes:

"There's no cave deep enough for him to hide. He can run and he thinks he can hide, but we're not going to give up."

oops.

That must be one of those exaggerations.

I saw the Bush comment -- "Because he's hiding." -- on ABC's evening news a day or two ago, and even though I knew I was watching ABC, I half-expected the camera cut to Jon Stewart, making one of those faces he makes when confronted with total inanity. :D

What was Saddam doing differently?

[Xtremehkr]

Bush sincerely believes that we are all dim enough to accept this as an excuse?

This man went to Yale, and yet relies on stupidity/ignorance more often that a pre-schooler.

You know, that sounds suspiciously like a flip-flop... And I thought those were a sign of poor character?

Only in Democrats.

Ohhhh.... right.

What was Saddam doing differently?
He had oil.

Oh, I mean - ties to Al Qaida... er, no. WMDs... um, no, sorry again. Freedom! Yeah, that's it. We have to free those Iraqis (while killing thousands of them and torturing them as bad, if not worse, than Saddam, and basically forcing Freedom down their throats at the barrel of a gun, whether they want it or not).

Reminds me of when Bush said we shouldn't vote for someone who acts impulsively without looking at the evidence and weighing all his options. I didn't. 50.8% of voters did (notice I said voters, not Americans... I know plenty of people who don't like him but didn't bother to vote because they didn't think it mattered. Now look what happened).
