Alright! Finally someone has the balls to say what they really mean.
Do you think these terrorists expected GWB to look the cameras in the eye and say "I want him [Osama bin Laden] dead or alive"?

President Bush didn't say he wanted OBL "dead or alive". He may have inferred it, but he didn't say it.

D@mn I wish I had taped that clip to see exactly what he said.
Something to the effect of: "Just like those posters they had out west, I want him dead or alive."
Kind of a marked indifference as to the state bin Laden would arrive in. Still, I wouldn't want the leader of the free world saying that about me.
Anyone have a direct quote? I wish I was typing when it was replayed, instead I was cheering!

GWB is Da Man !!!
If that asshole Gore would have gotten elected, we'd be talking about economic sanctions or diplomacy...
I think GWB is better at speaking his mind, than he is speaking from the tele-prompter...

He was being a smart ass. The reason he used the old west reference is because Sadam Hussein called him an "American Cowboy."
Personally I would have liked Bush to say "Yippe Kai Yay Mother FVCKER!"
GWB rules!

"I want justice," said Bush, surrounded by Pentagon top brass. "And there's an old poster out West that says, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.'"
Immediately after this he said something to the effect of, "I just want to bring him to justice."

No matter exactly how he worded it, he sure as hell got his point across! I voted for Bush, and he earns more and more respect from me each day, considering how well (IMO) he is "taking care of business".
