... than finding what you seek.

Not to say that finding ObL is not important but I think that however long it takes to track him and his cohorts down, the US-led coalition will not give up. If the search takes us to other terrorist sponsoring countries to find him and his accomplices, so be it. If it takes us to Iraq to determine if the anthrax came from there then such is life. The point being, the longer ObL continues fleeing from justice, the more other countries (read terrorist friendly countries) will suffer from his ill-deeds. For that matter, the Taliban has already suffered horrific losses even though ObL promised them they would defeat the World Coalition just the same way they defeated the Russians. In a way I almost feel sorry for Osama. He had visions of religious splendor but used the devil's tools as a means to the end. Now he has to report to a higher official than just those in the coalition, and the verdict appears to be out.
