Ignorance or a Lie?
“US President George W. Bush on Friday dismissed news reports that the CIA has closed a unit tasked with hunting Osama bin Laden as "incorrect" and said the Al-Qaeda leader was still in his sights.”
Herald Sun
“The man who led America's hunt for Osama bin Laden has said the CIA was wrong to disband the only unit devoted entirely to the terrorist leader's pursuit - just at a time when al-Qaida is reasserting its influence over global jihad.”
The Guardian
Did the president not know that the unit had been closed down or did he lie? Either way, it’s not good.

PoP....I'd like to think that bushie was clueless.....but he said..."that's wrong" so fast...I think he knew exactly what he was saying and it was meant to confuse.....so what's new...
PoP,
The President is doing exactly what the Republicans accused Clinton of doing .... "that depends on what is is". He was weaseling around the closure by saying that we were still after Osama. He avoided saying how and apparently the dedicated unit isn't it.
If so many people weren't dying for the sake of this man's desperate little ego, his bluster would be funny. As it is, it's criminal.
*wether he knew or not, he's clueless as to the ramifications of what he's doing around the world.
He should step down.
I've always wondered about the parlimentary govts, and how if they loose confidence in their leaders, they just call an election. We could use that now.
rumsfeld has put all of the intelligence and defense departments under him at the defense department. my guess is bush didn't know and lied after he found out.
my theory is- if bush could step down he would. my theory is that bush is a frontman for rumsfeld and cheney and they are the ones who are running things. bush was picked because he was bush's oldest son and some deal was made with the devil for a bush dynasty. that ain't working so good and bush 2 is not a great frontman. they have to keep it going because cheney and rumsfeld along with wolfowitz are not done taking over the world yet. if you look closely, you will see that they are really the ones running things- hence bush's free time to go to graceland.
Nice to see that good old President Empty Suit is still on the job. I heard that he's actually - gasp! - CHANGED HIS VACATION PLANS!
I agree with renee. I too heard it and thought he said that awfully fast. In fact IMO everything he said was meant to confuse.
the man has a grand time contradicting himself, let alone remembering all the closing down of government functions he's been doing in the name of saving an almighty buck. Forgedabout the spending of large chunks of our unborn children's future earnings on a war we never needed or wanted in Iraq.
Throughout this administration I've been trying to decide if it's evil or stupid. I've decided to hedge my bets and say it's a rich blend of the two.
All units must pursue Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Any spare units must harrass Iran at every opportunity. Hmmmm, maybe the old Bush/Bin Laden family friendship is still strong. You know, in a perverse way, they really need each other.
Or maybe the unit will be up and running before the next election..
And we also know Bush's rocket doesn't stay up or go as far as it used to.
Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. I agree with Betmo that he's a front man, but I don't think he wants to resign. I think he's happy just being the little puppet he is. Jeb is next, I fear.
You know...all he has to do is pick up a news paper, and he can't even manage to acchomplish that.

America had no opposition party at that moment. Checks and balances should not be overlooked.
Hey there little lady, Bush is going to smoke Bin Laden out Dead or Alive. He's gonna crush them Qaedas with his bare hands...
What's that you say? The CIA is no longer looking for Bin LAden?
WHy that just means ol' Bush is gonna have to saddle up and strap on his six shooters and go patrol the Pakistani all on is own.
Tell the Qaedas ol' Bush is a coming...
Dean or Alive. Smoken'im out where ever they hide...
Don't you worry your pretty little face Ma'am...
i have a GREAT idea. king george should deputize o.j. and have HIM find osama
The jackass-in-chief couldn't find his butt with both hands..you expect him to know whats going on within his own administration?
Get real dear :p
He knew he was lying because he referred to "those stories."
hmmmm even if we find Bin Laden..you will all be still upset ..crying...on and on..its never ending
