Al-Queda has spent countless resources in Afganistan and Iraq, resources that could have been spent attacking here. Better to fight them in their world than ours.
Ray a cold hard fact that you'll have to understand is Pakistan has nukes, you just cant go invading looking for Bin Laden who by most accounts could be anywhere from Pakistan to Somalia. Being in Iraq does not drain the intelligence services looking for him, the Iraq war supplemental budgets are completely separate from the intelligence budget which is set by your Democratic congress. You can bet if Bin Laden is definitively found anywhere in the world we will get him. I know GW will, I know McCain will, by the time Obama sweet talks whatever country he is found to be in he will be long gone. And to correct your misstatements several of those responsible have been captured and killed. Osama is one of many.
