...yeah. Two different "issues" one being Saddam "defying the UN" ...what a joke, and the other, dismissing Osama, the one we supposedly in fact were attacked by where thousands died.

Daniel: heeelloo....why don't you give a half way credible source instead of lies and propaganda, I've already visited that site today and researched something very easy and factual that they couldn't seem to find.
They are a right wing slanted BS source.
Try to respond intellectually this very challenging question yourself....that is if there is in fact anything in that bushbot brain of yours.

Bush Claimed HIMSELF that there is no connection between Iraq and 9-11 but still bushbots like to post lies.

Yeah sure Gene Gregory, Bush is keeping us safe, you just keep believing that, no wonder you hail to the cheif,
and that's not an answer, that's just plain ol' gushing,
gee, the South hated Lincoln!! I wonder why! Sounds like the same slave wage supporting red staters (aka Jesusland) that never dare to question Bush.

Saddam is dead and gone. Osama is still alive, laughing at the chaos he has created. Isn't he the reason mr. bush went to war? Didn't mr. bush say something said about "Wanted dead or alive"?

Whatever a BushBot is they are totally misguided. Iraq had no connection whatsoever with the attack on the World Trade Centre. In fact Osama Bin Laden regarded Saddam as an infidel. On the other hand it's much easier to attack an identifiably country than a bunch of terrorists who are dispersed all over the world, and so it makes you look as though you are doing something useful. If you can get your hands on some more oil at the same time, so much the better of course!

I understand your concern about the course the administration has set the nation upon but the term "bushbots" means that you are likely to get a slue of responses from administration supporters which do not begin to answer your question and will only drive you to further disdain.
To get a fair and reasoned answer try to avoid detracting political slang.
With regard to the question you posed, it may be because there is little chance of finding Osama and because in the end Osama is a highly marginalized part of the global terrorist network. Yes, he ranks high in our minds as a nation but intel shows he claimed responsibility for 9-11 when he simply gave approval and some minimal financial support.
Yes, there was a strategic failing in the shift of our national focus to Saddam but had the peace been administered properly the victory in Iraq would have gone a long way to stabilizing the region. Unfortunately, we are very far away from that posibility now.
The answer is Americans as a whole tend to focus on fights we can win more than any other. This often means that regardless of the party in power the trinket dangled in front of the people is the one that required the fewest political tokens.

I take it 'BushBots' are defined as patriotic Americans who believe we should support our president and the young men and women who are protecting us so well.
Firstly, your supposition is incorrect. Supporters of our current administration do not care more about Saddam than Osama. Just as in World War 2, there were more than one enemy. They were not all captured at the same time, but we continued until the job was done. That is why you are free today. You should hope and pray we continue in this present effort until we rid the world of the threat.
If you have ever studied American history, you would know that while Lincoln was in office he was the most disliked president ever. All of the southern states hated him, and about half of the north. If we had had polls, he would have probably received about 25% approval. History proved he was right. I believe history will prove President Bush is right. Thank God tonight that you are safe and have the right to criticize your president.

Of course not, but Saddam represented an entire nation (geographically) where Osama represents an ideal. Plus, he is a lot better at hiding out than Saddam was. I seriolusly doubt Osama has the impact with those who followed him that he did before 9/11, we have crippled the infrastructure of his terror network, there are new leaders we will have to deal with now.

Because Saddam was easier to find and defeat - he didn't really fight back in the first Gulf War, after all - merely blowing up all the wellheads in Kuwait as he and his so called army skedaddled out of there.
And, hey, finding and killing (or capturing) Osama would put the kibosh on the Military-Industrial Complex gravy train we call our War on Terrorism. (Notice what's been happening with the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs - a lot of people are making a lot of money fighting those, too.)

The Saudi Royal Family, The Bin Laden Family, and The Bush Family have been friends and business partners for decades. It was Bin Laden money that bailed Dubya out of at least one of his many failed business ventures.
Does that explain why there might be little interest in going after OBL?
