So this means Obama was lying. He was downplaying it publically but we still had our intell agencies on it.
But you know, there is no way Bush was just downplaying publically. No. He really meant it. Because he is a (R), and Obama is a (D), so...so... ya.
You're right.
Absolutely right.
It's called misdirection.
All part of the operation to kill Osama Bin Laden.
Seems it worked.

But thats what you guys expected Bush to do.
From The Times January 15, 2009,
Barack Obama suggested last night that removing Osama bin Laden from the battlefield was no longer essential and that America's security goals could be achieved merely by keeping al-Qaeda "on the run".
"My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him," he said. "But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America."
His comments, in a CBS interview, represent a significant watering down of the "dead or alive" policy pursued by President Bush since the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. They also appear to contradict Mr Obama's own statements made in the election campaign.
As recently as October 7, in a presidential debate, Mr Obama said: "We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al-Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority."
Yesterday, the President-elect adopted far less aggressive language, saying his "No 1 priority" was to protect America from further attack.
"I think that we have to so weaken [bin Laden's] infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function," he said. "And I'm confident that we can keep them on the run and ensure that they cannot train terrorists to attack our homeland."
A new audio tape thought to be from bin Laden was broadcast yesterday, taunting President Bush for leaving his successor "with a heavy inheritance" that would force Mr Obama to choose between military defeat or drowning in economic crisis.

Except Obama actually ended up doing it, instead of sitting on his ass and sucking his thumb, like Bush did.
Right, the CIA and military all just folded up their tents and went home during Bush years. It wasn't until the Hussein came along and inspired them all with hope that they could really catch OBL this time, so they went back out into the field to started searching again.

I don't have anything against beer...but I do have a problem with him being covered indoors. You do that in a sailor's bar and you just bought everyone the next round. (Of course, frat boy could afford to do just that)

This is the part you should highlight:
"My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him"
And he did. Something Republicans could NEVER do.
Oops
