Now we know why the President rarely did press conferences. Iraq has so distracted him, he doesn't know an exaggeration from the truth. Mr. President, isn't Osama bin Laden the man who attacked us on 9-11?
FLIP: "Gosh, I just don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those exaggerations."

FLOP: "Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. 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. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban."
[White House Press Conference - 03-13-02]"We want him dead or alive ... but we are not too worried about him. ... He is the one who needs to be worried," Bush said.
