Q Mr. President, in your speeches now you rarely
talk or mention Osama bin Laden. Why is that? Also,
can you tell the American people if you have any more
information, if you know if he is dead or alive?
Final part -- deep in your heart, don't you truly
believe that until you find out if he is dead or
alive, you won't really eliminate the threat of --

THE PRESIDENT: Deep in my heart I know the man is on
the run, if he's alive at all. Who knows if he's
hiding in some cave or not; we haven't heard from him
in a long time. And the idea of focusing on one
person is -- really indicates to me people don't
understand the scope of the mission.

Terror is bigger than one person. And he's just --
he's a person who's now been marginalized. His
network, his host government has been destroyed. He's
the ultimate parasite who found weakness, exploited
it, and met his match. He is -- as I mentioned in
my speech, I do mention the fact that this is a fellow
who is willing to commit youngsters to their death and
he, himself, tries to hide -- if, in fact, he's
hiding at all.

So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't
spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with
you. I'm more worried about making sure that our
soldiers are well-supplied; that the strategy is
clear; that the coalition is strong; that when we find
enemy bunched up like we did in Shahikot Mountains,
that the military has all the support it needs to go
in and do the job, which they did.

And there will be other battles in Afghanistan.
There's going to be other struggles like Shahikot, and
I'm just as confident about the outcome of those
future battles as I was about Shahikot, where our
soldiers are performing brilliantly. We're tough,
we're strong, they're well-equipped. We have a good
strategy. We are showing the world we know how to
fight a guerrilla war with conventional means.



So...just 6 months after America was attacked Bush was fogetting all about Osama...he didn't care at all where the man was. But now he wants us all to remember that we were attacked.

I don't think we are the ones who forgot.
