WTF does this mean?

It means that leadership is about perception. And considering that I have served the entire time that the current conflict has gone on (to include two combat tours), it was clear it was no longer a publicly stated goal of our military to find and eliminate UBL. Does not mean it was not going on behind the scenes, but it was not a primary, stated goal of the administration.

I never felt for one minute we were not doing all we could to find and kill him.

Bush's comments to me sounded more like trying to move on from his failure to accomplish getting him. Spin it the best way possible. All presidents are loathe to admit failure of any kind. And Bush knew he would likely end his term never knowing if UBL was dead or alive.

And as I said earlier Bush was right in that this is bigger than one man as events have proved of late.
