Bin Laden offers "truce"

[scaeagles]

A short while ago (30 minutes or so) Al Jazeera aired a tape of (supposedly) Osama himself.

Osama has offered a "truce' to allow for the rebuilding of Afghanistan and Iraq.

I found that to be interesting considering we are rebuilding and the terrorists are blowing things up.

If this was, in fact, Osama, I suspect this comes from a position of weakness. If anyone thinks Osama is interested in peace they are....well...not thinking clearly. I would suspect he wants time to rebuild much of his scattered and weakened Al Qaeda network, and perhaps give himself time to acquire WMD from, say, Iran.

It will be interesting to see how quickly Pelosi and Kennedy and whomever come out and show support for this. I think it would be a huge mistake. The war on terror does not end with a truce. Osama's beliefs prevent peaceful coexistance.
