Then Bush decided to invade Iraq and put Afghanistan on the back burner. That was when Bush changed his rhetoric from "Get Osama dead or alive" to saying Osama "didnt matter much". The conservatives obediently changed their minds too and stopped thinking it was so important to get Osama.
I continued to think we should have (and still should) go after him until we have his head on a pike. That would be a good example to all the other people imagining attacking the USA.
Apparently, having flipped from wanting Osama when we invaded Afghanistan to thinking it wasnt all that important when Bush took his eye off the ball, you are now ready to flop back again, but only if there is another attack!
Well, I dont want to wait for another attack. I cant imagine why you do either. If Osama is as bad as I think (and you apparently do too) then why wait?
PS Do you just disagree with people who identify as liberals as a knee jerk reaction to whatever they say? Or, as is the case with me, does the other side occasionally say something sensible? Be careful or you will find you are arguing with yourself!! This topic is a good example. Conservatives were FOR getting Osama but now think it isnt so important but would be for it AGAIN but only if he attacks ... I am happy having wanted to get him all along. Still do. Always will. Probably wont happen until we are rid of Bush though.

Your quotation marks above indicate that President Bush said that Osama, "didn't matter that much". Do you have any references for that quote? What is your source? Date, time, and location where said, please.
The answer to your "PS" is that the man just has a low tolerance for vacuousness. If you presented your "PS" to say, the average JV football coach, he'd say that while you were willing to win all along, you were also unwilling to do anything related towards winning. That you are willing to use the word sensible in terms of your thoughts defies sensibility itself. I'm going to the DMV tomorrow so I'll have some down time. I'll honesty try to remember something sensible expressed here by you. I mean, I'll really try. I'm getting a headache just contemplating the effort alone.
