Bush said that Osama was not important I'm talking about what he did, not what he said. The later is less important. Also while getting Osama was a good thing, it was less important than generally degrading Al Qaeda. He was the number one individual to target, no specific individual was more important, but he was only one individual. If he died in the very begining (a long time before 9/11 or even the earlier attacks against the US and American interests), then maybe Al Qaeda wouldn't have gotten off the ground, or focused as much on the US, but by 2011, when he was killed, he was only a good target, not a vital one. Iraq is another issue, quite a mess, but at least they don't have Saddam anymore. In any case its pretty much irrelevant to the subject at hand.
