The government is concentrating on Saddam because, as Bush said, "that man tried to kill my father". I guess using our country's military forces to avenge a personal grudge is more important that avenging the lives on 2000+ people who actually did die...

They're focused on Saddam because the Bush Administration can't catch Bin Laden. Saddam doesnt even like Bin Laden, yet Bush refuses to untie the two.

Bin Laden is still on the run, as he has been for quite some time. Saddam is on trial now, so the media focus is on the court case. There is nothing new to report about bin Laden.

Bin Laden, likely to be dead in one of the caves he has been hiding in, has not been caught, and has not been heard from in a long time While Saddam has been tried and sentenced that is why the focus has been on him. Are you not tuned in to the news?

The U.S. doesn't want the focus on someone they couldn't find. Bin Laden is a slap in the U.S. face so they have to focus on an easy target.

My belief,,,,CIA got him. Back in the day when Afghanastan was fighting the Russians, the CIA trained and backed the Taliban. The CIA couldn't publicly kill him, that would make him a marter (sp?). If they brought him to trial, he could tell their dirty little secrets on prime time. I think he was taken care of quietly and thats why the news of him has gradually dropped out of the picture.
