They are two separate issues.
Um, no. Since we don't have infinite resources and power, we have to prioritize what we wish to accomplish. A decision was made to put Al Qaeda on the back-burner and make Saddam the top priority. We effectively traded catching Bin Laden for removing Saddam. That was part of the decision to go to war when we did.
Hope you can answer some of my other objections.
