Osama bin Laden is "either dead in some tunnel, or he's alive," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said.

"If he's alive, he's either in Afghanistan or he isn't," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon briefing today.

But, the secretary said, the point is "it does not matter. We'll find him one day."

When Ridge said similar words a few weeks ago, he was candid enough to say, under his breath and out of the hearing of TV cameras, "We hope".

When Ridge said similar words a few weeks ago, he was candid enough to say, under his breath and out of the hearing of TV cameras, "We hope".

And Rumsfeld was confident enough to not have to say it.

Rumsfield has core principles for which he will fight; Ridge doesn't.

Clue in here, mom. It doesn't matter whether OBL is dead or alive as long as his army is dismantled and defunded.

Mom, you are off your meds again! Go take your Prozac, and leave us rational-minded adults alone.

That's why Ridge is a panty-waist former governor and Rumsfeld is the SecDef.

Will you ever stop hating America?

Since it was under his breath and off camera, I am dying to know how it is that you heard it while the rest of us didn't. Could it be that you made it up?

Tom Ridge isn't privy to all the info that Rumsfeld is...
