Bush on bin Laden: ‘I guess he is not dead.’



Thinkprogress:

Eight years ago, President Bush asserted with great bravado that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden would be taken “dead or alive.” “I don’t care, dead or alive — either way,” Bush said at the time. This weekend, while attending a conference of business leaders in New Delhi, India, Bush struck a different tone:

Asked whether al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden could be alive, Bush said “I guess he is not dead.”

He, however, noted that Laden is hiding and “not leading victory parades” or “espousing his cause” on TV.

He expressed confidence that Laden will be brought to justice which “he deserves to be” and it was a matter of time.

That comment proves my point Bush never ran the country and knew nothing but what Cheney allowed him to know. Bush feels the most important thing he's done in the 8 years at the White House and now that he's living alone the only thing he loves to do is pick up his dogs droppings.

There is no intelligent person that believed Bush was capable of running a popsicle stand.
