[Remember the good old days when Bush promised to get Osama bin Laden for masterminding the 9/11 attacks? Now, after invading Afghanistan and failing to capture bin Laden five years ago, our short-attention-span leader seems about as interested in our number one terrorist foe as he is in those nonexistent Iraqi WMDs].
Bush again vows to capture Osama 'dead or alive'
December 29, 2001--President George W Bush again vowed to capture Osama bin Laden 'dead or alive' and said the United States will keep the terror suspect on the run.
Bush, speaking at a news conference at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, said if bin Laden has fled to Pakistan, the US can count on the support of President Pervez Musharraf.
"We believe he (Musharraf) will help us, if in fact he (bin Laden) happens to be in Pakistan," said Bush.
"Who knows where he is. But one thing is for certain: He is on the losing side of a rout," he said.
He said, "The US is on the hunt and he knows that we are on the hunt. And I like our position better than his."
Asked whether he believes bin Laden is still in control of the Al Qaeda network, Bush said: "Who knows?"
