Iraq? Three-letter word beginning with 'O' had a lot to do with it (didn't Dubya say as much at least once?). As for Afghanistan, they clearly had to go for Bin Laden once it became clear that they couldn't pin it all on the Iraqis, and doing a deal with the Taliban to get him handed over would probably have led to too many questions about past links.
