Well, that's exactly what I meant.
Bush knew that Al Queda was responsible for 9-11. All of the information he had suggested that Saddam was hiding WMD's. So, the Bush Whitehouse adopted an "Afghanistan first" policy of getting rid of Bin Laden while UN weapons inspectors were dealing with Iraq, and then, after dealing with Bin Laden, getting rid of Saddam in Iraq.
