He's either called for truce because he's weak and needs to regroup, or he is about to do something really awful and wants to pretend like we forced his hand. Either way, it doesn't matter. He'll do what he will, and so shall we. I have never thought that going after Bin Laden was a bad thing, it's just where we seem to be 'looking' that has me concerned. A truce would imply that a state of war exists between them and us, whereas I was under the impression that they were merely murderous thugs and outlaws. Now that I think about it, was that ever clarified at Gitmo? Are they considered wartime enemies or international outlaws?
But no, there should be no acknowledgement of his 'offer' whatsoever. The pig doesn't deserve a response- to do so would only add legitimacy to his group.
