I think Bush meant Bin Laden was "insulated."
And that Bin Laden was "driven" to a hidden location...by a taxi driver or chauffeur.
So Bush is technically not lying...

Maybe Dubya should ask his Father to inquire of Osamas' whereabouts next time he meets with his 'business partners' ( aka the Bin Laden family ) in Saudi Arabia?
Or maybe ol' Osama is just chilling out in the guest bedroom at the White House ?

If Bush wants to pick up his ratings, then go catch this guy, but he is probably saying "what's the point now", even still if he did this he could leave the office with a little respect.

The fact that he is alive makes Bush a looser.
Since we don't really know where Bin Laden is, how is that Dumbo Bush, you can you be soo sure that he is isolated?

What ugly Americans don't know is that Osama, his deputy and head of Taliban are safely living and operating in Pakistan.
If Bush Administration gets them, then the Iraqi occupation has to end. This will not happen as the primary purpose of invading and occupation of Iraq is to control its oil wealth that will bring billions to Exxon, Mobil & Halliburton.
So the game goes on.

Osama is in Waziristan. The CIA has known this since Tora Bora. Waziristan is at war with Afghanistan. No huge spring offensive came out of Afgahnistan as the Taliban promised. Three top Taliban leaders have been killed. Musharaf has agreed not to interfere in Waziristan. Musharaf in charge of Pakistan with its nukes is more important than Osama. Mission accomplished: The Iraqi army is no longer capable of offensive maneuvers.

All Bush Jr has learned over the years as president is to look more comfortable lying on the air. Slowly Bush Sr is handing over the his backstage rule as confindence in his son builds. After Bush Sr and his cronnies Raped the US armouries in 1990 to sell to Bin Laden and to create a somewhat false war in the name of OIL CONTORL PRICES to line their greedy pockets. Propaganda shows like IN SEARCH OF BIN LADEN are nothing but a tactical move to try to restore faith in Bushes slumping ratings. In search of Bin Laden?..get real. Hes been eating steak at Bush Sr. Texas ranch, swimming and probably doing the maid before his new plastic surgery and identity under US protection. The only way Bin Laden will suffer in our lifetime is if they made him look like Janet Reno. Sorry Janet.

Bin Laden works for the Bush adminstration now leading his troops to battle smaller wars on others who might possibly be a threat to the US agenda, good or bad. The Government mainly turned corrupt after the death of President Roosevelt, and has been rewired to the wrong types ever since. If the truth ever comes out about the Twin Tower bombings Bush and his cronnies better run for their lives. It all just stinks!

Bush probably thinks Osama is in Iraq, because most of those who have internet access, have as a screen saver a huge photo of Osama. Thats probably because we didn't win the hearts & minds of the descendants of those bedouin camel herders.
It's really astonishing that the net result of our response to the attack of 20 or so mostly Sauidi muslim extremists is having 170,000 men bogged down in Iraq.

bush description sounds a lot like bush projecting his own feelings of himself. bush is isolated. bush isn't leading nay parades. bush is barely one step away from hiding in his secret bunker. even the repubs are speaking out against bush policies. why the dems caved to this weak, lame duck embarrassment of a president is beyond me.

Bush is not searching for Bin Laden. Bush's family has had long term business relationships with Bin Laden's family & the "Royal" Saudis for over a decade. All one has to do is type Business dealings between Bush's family & Bin Laden's family to get informed.
The only people profiting from the war in Iraq are the oil company's like Halliburton & Dick Cheney who shouldn't even be in the White House. My sympahty's go out to US troops family's, but in the end they chose to fight this unnccessary war.
God Bless America and God help us survive until the next election.

Hopefully the next Leader will improve the US economy, US infrastructure, US medicare system, increase the value of the Dollar against the EURO. And help the US gain back political respect in foreign country's.
Bin Laden hides out in Rawalpindi/Pakistan. PM Musharaff if BL's best friends while getting US dollars from President Bush to "fight a war against Terror." Anyone who's ever lived in the Middle East knows this.

The administration needs to quit spending money on bombs and munitions that only polarize the terrorists and makes them more popular with the people. He needs to start teaching the people of Pakistan peace and love as much as they have been indoctrinated in violence and hate. Education, computers, decent medical care, housing and food is the only answer. For a great book on peace go to amazon dot com and type in "korana of mother goddess." peace and love, all

The biggest problem in Iraq and Afghanistan is corruption. If the soldiers and police don't get paid they have to steal from the people. If the people get robbed too much by the soldiers and the police then they prefer Taliban style governments. It is about getting fed. Soldiers can be bought or sold for a dollar a day.
