Bush pledged to get bin Laden dead or alive. He failed! Osama mocks us!
12/14/2001 - Updated 11:48 AM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush pledged anew Friday that Osama bin Laden will be taken "dead or alive," no matter how long it takes, amid indications that the suspected terrorist may be bottled up in a rugged Afghan canyon. The president, in an Oval Office meeting with Thailand's prime minister, would not predict the timing of bin Laden's capture but said he doesn't care how the suspect is brought to justice. "I don't care, dead or alive — either way," Bush said. "It doesn't matter to me."

>>>>"I don't know whether we're going to get him tomorrow or a month from now or a year from now. I don't really know. But we're going to get him," the president said. "The American people must understand that I have no timetable in mind. There's no — I don't have a calendar that says, 'Gosh, if he's not gotten by this certain moment, then I'll be disappointed."

>>>>Bush said U.S. troops had helped liberate Afghanistan of the Taliban regime and will eventually get bin Laden

"He may hide for a while, but we'll get him," the president said.

I've got a calendar. He had three years! He doesn't deserve any more.
