Actually, bin Laden controlling our our foreign policy would mean more that we are ignoring all else in the effort to find the person who is probably no more than a figure head now. The bi-annual video tape fed to Al Jazeera doesn't make it seem like he's doing too much. Last I checked, our current foreign policy is holding terrorist attacks against the US at bay. Somehow I don't think that bin Laden really feels in control while hiding in some cave in Pakistan. I might be inclined to believe he is in control of our border policy, but that's a different issue.
As I recall, bin Laden very recently offered a pseudo-truce in suggesting we pull out of Iraq. This was so the people of Iraq would not suffer. I found that be amusing, as it is primarily terrorists who are blowing up the people of Iraq.
Wanted us to attack Iraq? I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.
