I like our traditions: "Power resides at the end of a gun."

That's actually a Chinese tradition/observation.

It's a no-brainer Osama. We DO NOT negotiate with terrorists. We kill them.

You're welcome RR.

OPINION: I am not any more or any less concerned with the terrorist threats. AQ is weakened, but jihadis, like gang bangers, like any terrorist by any name; will take the opportunity to do their evil deeds if they are prepared and if the opportunity presents itself.

Prayer is powerful and that's where my comfort comes from.

He has never offered a truce before. He is just rattled from his number 2 guy getting taken out and how the CIA was able to learn of the meeting on the afghan border. He is scared now and talking like a scared man.

I think all his talk of a truce is a smokescreen. I believe the purpose of his tape, like many others is a signal to his cells within the US to attack targets here to prove they can and to destabilize the country.

Of course, if they do attack us the libs will say it is the president's fault since OBL offered a truce.

I simply hope the American people call for the "appropriate" response, if these islimes(est)
jihads, choose to perpetrate their evil. In fact in the back channels of diplomatic speech, I hope all are being forewarned. I might even venture to guess, and it is a guess, this very policy is being spread like stick-glue.

CIA veteran Michael Scheuer

Scheur is a rat hack moron.

He hasn't gotten the memo that the CIA had better watch its back because the kind of partisan crap that he and his fellow weasels were engaged in won't be tolerated.

I would submit that it is an exercise in futility to attempt to apply rules of logic to bin Laden.

It would however be useful to aply MOABs to him!

"Funny I don't recall that he offered a truce prior to 9-11."

Or before they attacked the Cole or the embassies in Africa or the WTC the first time.

I guess time will tell, whether the CIA guy finally gets one right.

Osama can either hide or he can orchestrate guerilla warfare, but not both. All he's done since 9/11 is hide and turn out some bad videos/communiques.

If he were to start running things, he would soon be a dead duck.

Bin Laden Expert: Muslim Tradition to Offer Truce Before Attack

I don't recall any "truce" being offered Israel anytime during my lifetime other than when the muslims were getting their a$$e$ pushed all over the skating rink of battle.

I don't recall any "truce" being offered before 9/11!

I don't recall any "truces" being offered against most if not all of the other terrorist attacks over say, oh, I don't know, the last 30 years or so.

Could be me!

This whole "the muslims always offer a truce thing" seems quite a bit empathetic to muslims if you ask me.

Perhaps the truce we counteroffer will have the name "Fat Boy II" inscribed on it.

I think he and about 12 million New Yorkers should get together and talk about it.

The result may have already taken place. In the second world war the Germans sent agents here to attack ALCOA in Tenn. With a large budget and spare time they started to enjoy America. Jook joints and bars etc. One of them ratted and the whole crew went down.
I was surprised 9-11 went down with the lunatics here for over a year. I understand a desperate man taking desperate measures and rationalizing it. Taking someone from the Middle East and dropping them here for a year with a budget? Can you say kid in a candyshop? I would not be surprised if some of these people are living here now in freedom and perhaps they like it.

First attack was Ramzi Yousef. Totally different cell. He is safely doing time in Denver. Ironicly I work with a salesman named Ramzi Yousef....

"What would Emperor Palpatine do with a character like Bin Laden"

Kill him. Then try and find someone who had bigger balls, yet small enough not to take on the Emperor (Satan) himself.
