Something tells me that, as far as bin Ladin is concerned, his talking truce just means that his men need more time to reload their guns. In other words, "Stop killing us for a little while so we can get our act together and start killing you as we'd like to".

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.
