Osama bin Laden? Oh ... THAT Osama bin Laden.


March 13, 2002:

BUSH: "Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from [Osama bin Laden]. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."

July 4, 2006:

The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants, intelligence officials confirmed Monday.

September 13, 2006:

WE NOW KNOW WHY the Bush administration hasn't made the capture of Osama bin Laden a paramount goal of the war on terror. Emphasis on bin Laden doesn't fit with the administration's strategy for combating terrorism. Here's how President Bush explained this Tuesday: "This thing about . . . let's put 100,000 of our special forces stomping through Pakistan in order to find bin Laden is just simply not the strategy that will work."

November 7, 2006:

White House press secretary Tony Snow, appearing on Rush Limbaugh's radio show, argued that the Democrats' only stance is "literally running around and heckling the president rather than trying to think seriously about how to deal with Osama bin Laden or a global war on terror."

Apparently, some people are just beyond embarrassment.

You should watch the whole clip of Snow with Limbaugh, if you can stomach it. It consisted of nearly 100% lies. It really was shameless. Tony Snow and Ken Mehlmann have been lying to unprecedented degrees for many consecutive weeks now, and nobody in the MSM is calling them on it.
