Remember at the debate when he vowed, “We will kill Bin Laden, we will crush al-Qaeda”? He’s stressed the importance of taking out Osama on other occasions, but never quite as forcefully as that. Why, enter the quote in Google and you’ll find it immortalized in the very first hit with an especially fulsome tribute at the Daily Dish.
Anyway, change of plans:
COURIC: How important do you think it is, Mr. President-elect, to apprehend Osama bin Laden?
OBAMA: I think that we have to so weaken his infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function. My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him. But if we have so tightened the noose that he’s in a cave somewhere and can’t even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America.

Odumbo is all snake oil.
“Present”
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
I’ll take Bush’s ‘hubris’ any day!!
Technically alive??? What the hell is that? Such a genius. /s
Neither FDR nor Wilke ran their mouth.
So much for chasing OBL to the ends of the earth....
Funny how several weeks worth of national security briefings can change the lay of the land.
Did Katie Couric ask Obama what he reads..because we all know what he reads..Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky
Good catch.....lol!!
Wasn’t around then but had the opportunity to read newspapers and see newsreels of that era ... it’s interesting to read and see how the media supported America, not like now.
He assails Bush's war on terror, then keeps his defence sec. He attacks Bush's handling of the economy, then supports the bailout and wants MORE. He criticizes Bush's not getting UBL...
More sage words from the “Parser in Chief”
Whether Obama is "technically" president or not, he ain't much of an expert on whether human beings are "technically alive or not." Above his pay grade, as he readily admits.
Caan’t you just envision the gagging and choaking going on at DU and DailyKozWeNeedToiletPaper due to this abandonment of the line of the Supreme Soviet?
Liberals are hypocrites personified and liars. The media will try to keep perfume on the Liberal God’s pile of manure but eventually the stink will escape. The Messiah will have to sing another tune after we get attacked again. History won’t be kind to these RATS.
Obama is totally full of crap. When does the invasion of Pakistan start? Oh never mind.
Good Lord, these people are the ultimate liars.
Oh well, the stupid American citizens don’t really give a crap and the MSM whores know it.
