Are you sure? Saddam has killed millions so far, Obl probably isn't over a hundred thousand yet. Iraq also has far more strategic interest, and we can remake Iraq, we aren't going to remake Al Qaeda. So just as Al said the other day, we start with the safest, easiest to win, and isolate OBL enough to make him vulnerable.

Besides that, you omitted perhaps the single factor, aside from his malicious intent, that makes Saddam so dangerous: His oil. The guy has, at his personal disposal, one of the largest deposits of proven reserves in existence. With this oil comes immense power and unlimited funds. While Bin Laden is fiddle-farting around trying to figure out what kind of quasi-weapon to hit us with next, Saddam can be quietly building weapons systems that Bin laden can only dream of.

This kind of power concentrated in the hands of someone who wishes to do you harm is not a good thing.
