MBC, why do you suppose he has called for a truce?
If it is out of concern for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, then he would call for the end to suicide bombings and the like in the region. Instead, he suggests those who are doing the rebuilding leave. Why is that? He says he wants those regions to be rebuilt, yet wants the rebuilders to go.
This tells me something - Iraq IS part of the war on terror. Osama wants us out. I do not believe he wants that for the benefit of the people of Iraq. It is for his benefit. It is because he does not want free nations in that part of the world. He knows the war and freedom coming from it are damaging to him and his goals.
True - Murtha has not called for withdrawal from Afghanistan. My apologies.
So....Osama is playing to the left. He is simply calling for what they want - at least in part - which is the pullout of troops from Iraq. I hope you are right, but there will be those who will spin it as a way to spare American lives and the lives of citizens in Iraq. While some lives may be saved, many more will be lost in the long run should it happen.
