I gotta ask where your sources are. You do realize that every word the president says (down to when he called that reporter an amazinhunk) is recorded and published. Every interview, every press release, every speech Bush has made as president can be found on the official white house webpage. On it, I found two of your quotes.
I want justice. There's an old poster out west, as I recall, that said, "Wanted: Dead or Alive." This remark was made to the employees of the Pentagon on 17 Sept 2001. He was talking about calling up the Guard and Reserves in support of the attack on the Taliban. In the same speech he mentioned multiple times that the focus was not just on bin Laden but on all of terrorism. He made no statement whatsoever about not resting until bin Laden was killed or captured.
The other quote was this:
Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy who, three months ago, was in control of a county. Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run. Comments made on Dec 28 2001 indicating that the emphasis was not on bin Laden
However, I could not find a single reputable source that had either your Sept 13 2001 quote or your March 13 2002 quote. I DID find those quotes on some interesting websites:
http://www.nevertrustamonkey.com/archives/001165.php http://home.earthlink.net/~whosgoingtohell/whosgoingtohell-2002-03-18.htm http://mindprod.com/bush.html Of course I was hoping to find a reputable website that quoted Bush on your first and last quotes but I could only find chat rooms and sites that do nothing but bash the governments of the free world. Do you know where he was when he made those two quotes? Do you know who he was speaking to?
...OR could you just be reading sites like "nevertrustamonkey.com" and believing every word written because they have quotation marks and a date attached to them? If that is the case, you're just as bad (if not worse) as the people I know who let their politics be dominated by whatever is said by their favorite political party.
