Great work, christie! I see you mention a 2004 book by Yossef Bodansky; his earlier book, "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America", first published in its original edition before 9/11, also detailed the Iraq-Osama connection, tracing its roots back to the immediate aftermath of the Gulf War and placing its growth in the context of developments under the Clinton administration. I'll review my notes on it later and see if there's anything to add to what you have here.
There are hundreds of articles, but so many have dead links. Tried to give just a sample. Let me know what you find.
