Nope. Nary a one of us.

During a news conference at the White House on March 13, 2002, Bush said, "I
truly am not that concerned about him. [Bin Laden]... "We haven't heard much
from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command
structure. And, again, I don't know where he is," Bush said during the 2002
news conference. "I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about
him. I know he is on the run.
"I was concerned about him when he had taken over a country," Bush continued.
"I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and
calling the shots for the Taliban. But once we set out the policy and started
executing the plan, he became - we shoved him out more and more on the margins.
He has no place to train his Al Qaeda killers anymore." [except Iraq]
Well now, if the President doesn't give a shit, why should I, right?

Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri has another speech out and he speaks directly to
Democrats, trying to whip them into shape:
As for the Democrats in America, I tell them:
The people chose you due to your opposition to Bush's policy in Iraq, but it
appears that you are marching with him to the same abyss, and it appears that
you will take part with him in the defeat and certain failure, with God's
permission. And the American people shall discover that you are all one side of
the same coin of tyranny, criminality and failure; that failure which - by the
grace of God - has neutralized the endeavors of the traitors who entered Kabul
and Baghdad on the backs of American tanks, and has dashed their hopes as they
see the Mujahideen come closer and closer to victory, which has led them to
urgently appeal to America for help and implore it to continue to occupy their
lands and raise the banners of the Cross over their heads.
He goes on to write
These traitors in Iraq and Afghanistan must face their inevitable fate, and
face up to the inescapable facts. America - which was transformed from the
“Great Satan” into the “Closest Ally” - is about to depart and abandon them,
just as it abandoned their like in Vietnam.
So here is the second in command with al Qaeda speaking directly to an
American political party and asking them why they haven't followed up on their
promise to withdraw completely. Jack Murtha says he's convinced that as soon
as the U.S. cuts and runs that the Iraqis will route al Qaeda. So first we
hear that Baathists and jihadis wouldn't work together and then when they did
we hear that it is our fault and if we leave that would fix it. Why are
Democrats fooling around with non-binding resolutions and not going on record
by cutting off funding for this war?
Bin Laden has written for a long time that America is a paper tiger and you
are rushing to prove him right.
