It's a mis-quote, likely propagated by the same people who made up the documents Dan Rather used for his top-notch reporting on CBS. The actual transcript, with context:
Quote:
THE PRESIDENT: Deep in my heart I know the man is on the run, if he's alive at all. Who knows if he's hiding in some cave or not; we haven't heard from him in a long time. And the idea of focusing on one person is — really indicates to me people don't understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. And he's just — he's a person who's now been marginalized. His network, his host government has been destroyed. He's the ultimate parasite who found weakness, exploited it, and met his match. He is — as I mentioned in my speech, I do mention the fact that this is a fellow who is willing to commit youngsters to their death and he, himself, tries to hide — if, in fact, he's hiding at all. So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. I'm more worried about making sure that our soldiers are well-supplied; that the strategy is clear; that the coalition is strong; that when we find enemy bunched up like we did in Shahikot Mountains, that the military has all the support it needs to go in and do the job, which they did.
Q: But don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I — I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban.

Try to keep up and not confuse me with some of the more Republican leaning retards around here. I have frequently made it known that I have no special love of either of the majority political camps in my country and have no problem at all calling out left or right wing pundits when they get it wrong.
Of course, that answer assumes you're not being a douche bag and actually have an example of Fox News propagating a quote that never happened. If you're simply going to critique their editorializing on subjective matters, that will bother me considerably less.
EDIT: Also, "outraged" is a bit over the top, ya think?

But if using the pronoun 'I' makes one sad, pathetic and little I guess there's no arguing the point.
Do you count "I"s often? (seems like a sad pathetic little habit)

I was at our dining hall just now sitting at a table next to two stupid, racist frat guys. Can we get Obama's "This is not about Islam" part of the speech inserted into moron's brain's, on loop?
I'm actually really nervous for Muslim Americans right now. I'm sure some are going to end up being victimized over this by racist pricks... I'm not talking about 9/11 levels here, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if some reports start coming out in the next day or so.

My math partner didn't show up for our study session or class today. I wonder if it's because he's a Muslim.
If it came out that his body met some other fate, I guess I wouldn't be surprised but at the same time -- why not dump it overboard? What else are we going to do with it? Dissect his brain?

I would have been ashamed of the US if we desecrated his corpse. He had to die to open a path to peace, that's obvious. This is what many peoples' sense of justice demanded as well.
But if you really want to send a message, make it clear that we have the dignity to accept a victory and move on.
The whole thing just makes me sad. I mourn what he could have been--with the kind of mind and charisma he must have had to be such a massive influence. He could have been a huge source of good in the world, had he been born into different circumstances.

Islam
The sacred texts of Islam prefer burial on land, "so deep that its smell does not come out and the beasts of prey do not dig it out". However, if a person dies at sea and it is not possible to bring the body back to land before decay, burial at sea is allowed. A weight is tied to the feet of the body, and the body is lowered into the water. This would preferably occur in an area where the remains are not immediately eaten by scavengers. Also, if an enemy may dig up the grave to mutilate the body, it is also allowed to bury the deceased at sea to avoid mutilation.

We needed the body to do the DNA testing, but we also wanted to honor it as was appropriate in his faith, so it had to be buried within so many hours or it is considered desicrated.
IMHO, the last thing we need is for some crazy to insist that we all be bombed because we didn't honor bin Laden's faith and have his body propery buried.

My understanding is that they took DNA from the body. In any event, unless the idea is to have the body take an extended tour of the nation's shopping malls and rail stations, all the folks saying it must be a fake wouldn't be looking at the corpse anyway.
Or would say it's a fake when they did see it.
Or say that Kenya didn't really exist back then.
