Barnes reported Bush acknowledgment that bin Laden "not a top priority," but ignored Bush's recent emphatic pledges to pursue bin Laden until captured

SUMMARY: Fred Barnes reported that President Bush told him that capturing Osama bin Laden is not "a paramount goal of the war on terror." But Barnes gave no indication that the comments he reported appear to conflict with Bush's repeated, public pledges to stay on the trail of bin Laden. Will other members of the media probe this apparent discrepancy?
