I am not sure how you got that impression. I certainly never had that notion.
Quite frankly, I don't think I ever heard "Osama" and "Iraq" vocalized together unless it was by accident, as in the infamous Rumsfeld press conference.
And I don't know how his capture would mitigate losses in Iraq, when Zaqawari is clearly the main instigator there, not Osama.
The justification for the Iraq war was clearly WMD...which was bad intel...and not Osama. Now the justificiation for being there is to stabilize the country. And obviously, we are stabilizing it against terrorists.

It's all a matter of what notion you are looking for. WMD, OBL, Sadam harboring terrorists. My point is whatever excuse was available to invade Iraq was used, leaving the president to vascilated at will as to why U.S. forces are present in the country.
One of the excuses for this so-called war on terror in Iraq is OBL.
Of course, it's also been proven that even if there weren't 9/11, we would have gone to Iraq anyway...
