i seem to remember several of bin ladens press clips claiming to be from iraq and i know that several of his top ranking officials have been tagged in iraq as well as afganistan.
i don't think he matters much at this point. if he is still alive, he has no place to train troops, no government is willing to hide him, and not many people are willing to follow him anyway.
saddam was pretty much a pussy, he only dominated social groups. he never defeated a single organized military group. the taliban would have pwned his ass from the sound of the bell. superior weapons, superior training(thanks in part to US funding under the ronny raygun administration), and the willingness to die for their cause would have left saddam and his bitch army crying for momma.
