"Anyone else want to negotiate?"

[brownsfan]

Go ahead and laugh, but this is pure genius on the part of bin laden.

Right now the US is divided anyway. This gives fuel to the idiots on the left who want to "talk it out". It applies pressure to go to a bargining table. Lots of people in America who are middle of the road will start leaning left in an attempt to end the war.
Now, if the Bush administration does the right thing and ignores bin laden, and al quaida manages to pull off one attack of consequence in the US... then things get even messier. You'll have the media and the left going nuts.

This is bad, very bad.

"Based on what I have said, it is better not to fight the Muslims on their land," he said. "We do not mind offering you a truce that is fair and long-term. ... So we can build Iraq and Afghanistan ...

Based on what you've said, your organization is on the ropes and it's time to turn up the killin'...

Hey, is Al Zawaheeri answering his phone? I think he's been permanently disconnected...

Would be nice to see an impromptu white house statement by President Bush in the rose garden saying..... "we have heard Osama's offer of "truce". We are prepared to accept his unconditional surrender."

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Brits had a good line to describe these people: They're at your feet or at your throat..."

That is a great movie :)

Anyone remember what happened when OBL offered a truce in December 2001 from Tora Bora?

[blogblogginaway]

He knows our media and the likes of Murtha, Kerry etc. well. He know how this will play out in our press.................enemy offers truce, time to leave so no one else gets hurt.

[Mr. Lucky]

I wasn't aware that Satan permitted his guests to negotiate anything.

[redgolum]

Love your screen name, brings back memories!

You are correct, in that this means that they (OBL) want a truce for re organizational reasons. That and I imagine AlQ is not that keen on Shiites getting nukes. Remember, the Shiites are just as likely to attack their fellow islamics as us.

[redgolum]

I thought that was about the "huns".

[rawcatslyentist]

Hey Assama!!!!! We're gonna kill YOU!!!!!
Wanna make a Truce????
Stand up and take responsibility for your actions! Slime coward! Run and Hide like a sow in a pen!

Yeah we want a truce, here are our terms... You DEAD! Those are the only terms we are willing to offer!

[StrangerInParadise]

Truce, Osama? I got your truce RIGHT HERE.....bends over, exposes butt......

[PogySailor]

It's deja vu all over again.

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

This indicates weakness to me. Bin Laden would not be calling for a truce over there is they were dealing from a position of strength. Recent reports indicate that al qaeda is on the decline in Iraq. The locals are tired of attacks on them and innocent people.

If you learn one thing from history, it is when an islamich jihadists offers a truce, he is either so hurt he can't attack or is planning to sucker punch you.

It's recorded in one of their playbooks (I forget which - Koran, Hadith, etc.). Arafat used it to cause temporary ceasefires with Israel to regroup before starting the "so-called" intifada. He often bragged of using this approach that was attributed to Mohamhead who used it to regroup and strengthen his marauding band of cutthroats to re-attack and overcome their opponents. We need to keep pounding them and pounding them until they surrender or die.

This indicates weakness to me

I think of the Democraps when I read this.

[MikeHu]

Maybe somebody should come up with the brilliant idea of wiretapping those guys.

Maybe they'd win the presidency.

[Galveston Grl]

A truce with Osoma...oh yeah, I beleive him. The Democrats will have a new talking point tomorrow...

[Dahoser]

Truce, shmuce. You Clymers called it in the air on 9/11.
