Does anyone have the exact passage from Woodward's book that references the President's so-called lack of "urgency"?

You mean Clarke's book, don't you? Woodward's is not out for another three weeks.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Clarke extensively quoted Bob Woodward's book (out about a year, but I forget the name of it) on at least two interviews today. He even put on his little cheaters to read psalm and verse from it.

"You mean Clarke's book, don't you?"

No, Woodward's book "Bush At War". It was released late 2002. Bradley alludes to it twice in the Condi interview. Here's one such instance:

"ED BRADLEY:
After 9/11, Bob Woodward wrote a book in which he had incredible access and interviewed the president of the United States. He quotes President Bush as saying that he didn't feel a sense of urgency about Osama bin Laden. Woodward wrote that bin Laden was not the president's focus or that of his nationally security team."

So, what's the President's actual quote and in what context was it given? They're running wild with this and I was hoping someone could save me the indignation of thumbing through it at the bookstore.
