Bush says finding Saddam is a key goal (no direct quote on OBL)

President George W. Bush has said US forces will not pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan until they have found Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

Speaking in an interview with the Financial Times, Mr Bush said it is "inconceivable" that the US would quit Iraq and Afghanistan. "We are not pulling out until the job is done. Period," he said.

The Iraqi people are "plenty capable" of running their own country, Mr Bush said, adding: "The sooner that sovereignty is handed over in a way commensurate with a stable country, the better off it is."

"The enemy is changing tactics and we'll change with them," Mr Bush told the FT and two other news organisations.

Commenting on the mass demonstrations set to greet him in London and his unpopularity in international opinion polls, the president said: "I, frankly, haven't paid that much attention to what you just described."

3. Probably would like him alive
so he could ask him how the hell he kept the country together all those years (dumb shit still doesn't realize that probably only a tyrant could do the job).

7. YES!
He will either be dead or alive, it's pretty much 50/50.

5. "We're gonna git him".......said with conviction and assurance
to the American people shortly after 9/11. He seemed to exude utter confidence on this subject back then.

8. I thought we 'bunked busted' Saddam ....
:wtf:

He and OBL are like friggin' Jason and Michael Meyers - just when Georgie thinks he's killed 'em ... they disappear and turn up someplace else .....

Think of the years and years worth of FEAR that the Pugs can work these boogey-men for !!!

:eyesroll:


:hippie:

9. Yeah but they don't actually mention Osama anymore
Saddam sure they (W specificaly) will say his name but Rove hasn't let him say Osama's name in over 2 years. "Terrorists" suffices I guess.
