Osama bin Laden:

"We shoved him out more and more," Bush told a White House news conference. "He has no place to train his al Qaeda killers anymore."

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - George W. Bush, March 13, 2002

"I don't know where he is ... deep in my heart I know the man is on the run if he's alive at all," the president said. "I just don't spend that much time on him to be honest with you."

Iraq:
Bush said he is "deeply concerned about Iraq, and so should the American people be."

"We are going to deal with him," Bush said of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, whom he accused of "gassing his own people."

Bush added that the United States would consult with its allies before taking any actions.
