Why did Bush focus so much on Saddam Hussein and forget about the more important, Osama BinLaden?

Question

Osama did attack the U.S., and even though he didnt kill as much people as Saddam, he still killed many people that were innocent Americans. Bush put to much attention on Saddam and forgot about Osama when he is having fun laughing at Saddam and that we can't find hiself.

Answer 1

No one has forgotten Osama Bin Laden. Believe me we are still looking for him. Most operations are covert and would jepordize those forces who are looking for him so that is why they aren't always foremost on the news. Don't forget we may have caught Saddam but it was the Iraqi people who tried and convicted him.

Answer 2

Besides his personal vendetta, Saddam was easy to find. Bin Laden is out walking the hills. Much too mobile for dubyah when Saddam was so easy to find. Now Dubyahs problem is that Saddam is gone and Bin Laden just keeps funneling cash to the undereducated, disenfranchised Saudi boys who have teenage angst and need an outlet for misconceived recognition and rewards.

Answer 3

Again, that's like saying,

"why did we go after the Nazis when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor."

FDR heard all the same lines when he got involved in WW2. People accused him of staging Pearl Harbor. People said the genocide against Jews was a myth. People said, look at how many of our soldiers have died, all to save some 20 million people. They accused FDR of playing God. Any of that sound familiar?
It's amazing how quickly people forget.
History will show we were justified for this. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow. But eventually, it will.

Answer 4

He has not forgotten about Osama, I know of people that are there looking for him. Our country is capable of multi-tasking, you know Osama is not laughing because he realizes it could be him next (I hope so)

What he is doing, is dealing with what he has, we captured Saddam, the world has been shown that his type of leadership will not be tolerated.

Answer 5

duh, to try and finish what his father started and for the oil, which is still being covered up. I mean Saddam killed mostly his own people, but now osama kills every where. I think Bush kinda knew too, that saddam be easy to find.

Answer 6

I think he is dead. But If he isn't I do believe Bush is still looking. He is hiding pretty well. But I Think everything in media focused on Saddam because he is the only one captured.

Answer 7

We still have troops looking for Osama... there just have not been any major developments so we don't hear about it. It's more like the media put more focus on Iraq over the past few years... so really there has not been more focus on one or the other.

Answer 8

Okayy, it sounds like you are saying Americans are more important then Iraqis. I am personally American, yet my whole family, (mom, dad, grandma, aunts uncles) were born in Iraq and lived there until Saddam came killing INNOCENT IRAQIS. And what I think bush did wrong was pay too much attention on fixing Iraq while his country was facing many hard obstacles. He could have done much more about the Hurricane and high gas prices. I call him the dumb monkey.

Answer 9

Because Saddam tried to kill his daddy and he was there to get revenge.

And Bin Ladin is on the CIA's payroll and has been for about the past 20 years. How can you catch someone that is already employed by you?

Answer 10

Osama was never responsible in the first place for 9/11. In my opinion 9/11 is an inside job there are signs everywhere that point to that. The 9/11 prophecy was in our own wallet! unless Osama designs our money i believe its an inside job! check out this video if you dont believe me.....
