Rewriting history again?

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our
number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

Of course, after failing to find him, Bush did decide to "rest".

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care.
It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

One of the quickest about face maneuvers in history :-).
