ChinuSFO,

re:"What about going after the big ones. Osama, Abu Sayyaf etc"

Abu Sayyaf leaders have previously stated that they received monetary support from Saddam's Iraq. Further, Abu Sayyaf leaders have publicly admitted that Iraq offered them a "bounty" for each American they kill. Abu Sayyaf was founded by men recruited by OBL's Brother in-law (while living in Iraq).

These facts are clear. The U.S. was and is a target of terrorism from Al Qaeda, for the most part, because U.S. troops were stationed - long term, in Saudi Arabia. As long as Saddam was in power in Iraq, the United States would have a large military presence in Saudi Arabia - containment.
