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.

Agree with everything you said. I am personally of the opinion we fought a war of choice rather than necessity in Iraq. That there was a perceived threat (and that is more than enough) but not an actual threat (which facts bore out later). President Bush was compelled to focus on the more pressing issue of Iraq once our efforts began to fail. Just the way it is.
Whether we killed UBL in 2002 or in 2011 the reality is it would have made little material difference. The real impact is the systematic dismantling of AQ leadership through the years which (eventually) led to a marginalized UBL sitting in a compound in Pakistan influencing very little of day to day operations.
Just my opinion.

Or, it could be that he understood that putting one man on a pedestal creates a bigger martyr when he is eventually captured.
