Why has there been so much focus on Saddam? Osama Bin Laden has been free since the 911 attacks and it seems like no one cares to capture him.

He will never be caught. The American government does not want him caught. Where would they be with out a 'bogyman' to frighten you all with.
I don't know where Bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority.

Who is the little dodo who said OBL WASN'T behind 9/11????
Anyway, I've been wondering the same thing.
Supposedly we went into Iraq because Saddam called our hand. We said let the UN inspectors in or else. Saddam, who had had US backing and weapons for years, thought he was untouchable. So, in we went! Surprise, surprise for ol "too-big-for-his britches Saddam". We actually called his bluff. (You have to be very careful when you are "befriended" by the USA.) We went in because he may have been planning to turn the WMD capabilities (which, don't forget, WE GAVE HIM!) against some of our other "friends" (read: oil bearing countries and Israel).
Then, it suddenly became a "war for freedom" for the Iraqi people (read: let's not let some other crazy get hold of those weapons...)
Then, it somehow became a "War on Terror". (Oh yes, let's fight an emotion!)
But...and this is a big, BIG but...Osama Bin Ladin was the titular leader of the terrorists. And he was Saddam's enemy, too. And he "slipped" out of our hands....
Could it be that we don't ever want him to be caught? Could it be that he knows too much, especially given that his family has such close ties with the Bush family? Could 9/11 have been a US inspired conspiracy?
Go figure....

Bush said that he's not concerned about Bin Laden. Hussein was the real prize.
Why? Because Hussein was behind 9/11. Wait... no he wasn't. Ummm... oh! Because Hussein supplied Bin Laden with arms! No...no, that's not right either. Oh, I know! Because Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Ah...Come to think of it, Hussein didn't have any of those either.
I remember now. Iraq has oil and the U.S. wants it... so, after arming Hussein in the 80's against Iran, the U.S. changed their mind and decided he was bad guy after all.
So, the guy behind 9/11 is out there, free as a bird. But the guy with the oil is dead. We know that the families of the people who died in the WTC will appreciate Mr Bush's sense of the ironic..

Amazingly, the country under no circumstances stuck him, or Bush would have presented to the international that he became useless and Bush would mount Osama's head at his ranch in Texas. surprisingly adequate, there aren't any independently confirmed confessions or pronouncements that Osama had something in any respect to do with 9/11 ( the guy on the grainy tape the country authorities released is clearly not Osama, I desire it became). there is information that the country trumped up the Osama attitude because they mandatory to placed a face on the demon, to manage to talk.

Bush isn't that concerned about him was his statement to the press!
Ironic we hang a guy who had nothing to do with terrorist or 9/11 but almost 5 years later we haven't found the person who's neck should have been in that noose, as he was the one involved!

He's not really important. Do you really think killing or capturing him would change much? Do you think Al-Qaida will dissolve without him? Do you think 911 was actually HIS idea? It wasn't, and it wont.
Do you think President Bush plans each operation our soldiers do? The big guys don't do the work or the planning, they just approve the big stuff and take credit for them.
