George W. Bush Flip Flops: And World Watches Aghast…!!!

History would remember two persons with the same name for two memorable quotes:

“I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.” – George W. Bush, June 18, 2002

(“War is Peace” – Big Brother in George Orwell’s 1984)

And now for some George W. Bush flip flops (in the context of recent Bush and Musharraf statements that Osama bin Laden does not interest them anymore)…

Bush Wants Osama Dead or Alive: “I want justice. And there’s an old poster out West, I recall, that says, ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive.’” [Bush, on Osama Bin Laden, 9/17/01]

Bush Doesn’t Care About Osama: “I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him… I truly am not that concerned about him.” [Bush, Press Conference, 3/13/02] (courtesy The Truth About George)

In a March 2002 press conference, President Bush said, “I am deeply concerned about Iraq.” But when asked in the same press conference about bin Laden, he said, “I truly am not that concerned about him.”

In Sept. 2006, Weekly Standard editor Fred Barnes met with Bush in the Oval Office and came away convinced that “bin Laden doesn’t fit with the administration’s strategy for combating terrorism.” Barnes said that Bush told him capturing bin Laden is “not a top priority use of American resources.” (courtesy Think Progress)
