Vengeance against Saddam Hussein was his primary motive. When the Al Qaeda rumblings made it look like they were going to start trouble, Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld just said, "Bring it on!"

I really don't know if Bush's people lumped Osama Bin Laden together with Hussein or not. It seems ludicrous now, but that word describes pretty much everything they did.
