""We do not mind offering you a long-term truce with fair conditions that we adhere to," he said. "We are a nation that God has forbidden to lie and cheat. So both sides can enjoy security and stability under this truce so we can build Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been destroyed in this war.

"There is no shame in this solution, which prevents the wasting of billions of dollars that have gone to those with influence and merchants of war in America," he said."

If true, the Great Shaitan must be starting to get to them. Otherwise, they'd never eat that much humble pie.

i doubt that, all bridges in america are falling down and need billions in repair but the govt has no money because bush gave the "rich" people tax cuts.



?? did i just highjack my own thread?

Does this donut-hole actually think the American people would treat with him, and trust his word?  He suggests that he's worried about all the money we're spending?  This is the same guy who's persoanlly responsible for killing and maiming literally thousands of people who never did him a moments harm.

Can he actually be that incredibly naive?  Do you think this means he's actually getting scared?  Maybe we're getting close?  Or do you suppose he just figures this statement will contribute to fomenting political distress here?  Either way...he's a frikkin animal.

If I could send him a response to his offer, for my part, the answer would be as follows;

Too Late.

(followed shortly by the brief but distinct sound of an incoming Tomahawk)

John...

Yup.  You did.  

[Eagler]

could be the only possible end to the entire mess .. other than more of the same

then again, who is OBL actually in charge of? who would honor this truce? his rag tag cave dwelling followers or every islamic nutjob in the ME?

[Sixpence]

Yeah, a truce, that's the ticket. Why don't you come over for a truce dinner, yeah.

He's not saying that for our benefit, nor do I think his intended audience for this excerpt is the American people.

I think he's always trying to influence our western allies and his own allies for that matter, more so than American public opinion.

[BigGun]

is this the same audio tap (unconfirmed if was bin laden as of when was driving to work 4 hours ago) in which he was basically saying there are more terrorist attacks planned for the US?

[Yeager]

So the guy starts a fight, kills 3000 americans, gets attacked in response, continues to be under attack, has basically been in hiding ever since, has had two muslim countries invaded and sufferred tens of thousands of lost fighters and now he offers us a truce, as if it would be in our benifit?

m'k

Osama and friends are once again relying on the fact that most infidels haven't read the Quran and aren't familiar with Muslim doctrine.

"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)" [Quran, Sura 9:4]

Lying and deceiving infidels, is not only not shirk (a sin) it is considered an admirable tactic in Jihad. The doctrine even has a name it is called "al-Taqiyya" which can be translated as dissimulation. It literally means "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies  at a time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury."

"Verily we smile for some people, while our hearts curse those same     people." - Abu Al Darda

Imam Al Ghazzali, one of the most respected and oft quoted of all the Islamic theologians, treats the subject of permissible lying at length in his work "The Reliance of the Traveller" but he can be summarized in the following way:

"Safeguarding of a Muslim's life is a mandatory obligation that should be observed; and that lying is permissible when the shedding of a Muslim's blood is at stake."

Happily though, I think even the most gullible of Westerners realizes that OBL is not someone whose promises can be trusted.
