"Your president is misinterpreting public opinion polls which show that the vast majority of you support the withdrawal of your forces from Iraq," bin Laden said.

This is exactly what the Democrats have been saying. Exactly.

WEAKNESS IN SPADES!

First it was "We will not stop till the Great Satan is destroyed", and now it's "Please leave us alone and we'll make a truce with you".

HOW PATHETIC!

this tape is a sign that the Pakistan drone attack has had a significant effect on AQ - they needed to quickly get a moral booster out there to their cells.

You only accept a truce when you're losing. We ain't losin'.

"...the Muslim month that corresponded to December."

On a side note,expect, within the next ten years or so, a "separation of church and state" lawsuit against the US being based on the "Christian" Calendar...

I used to joke about this, but I also used to joke about the government wanting to ban pointy knives. The latter is no longer a joke, and I suspect the former won't be for long.

Putting on my tinfoil hat, the timing of this is simply perfect for one individual who would rather than her "plantation" comment AND the release of the Barrett report not be the top items for tomorrow's headlines.

the fact that he's offering a truce or time-out suggest to me that we're winning and he needs to re-group. we've got our foot on his throat and we don't dare let up.

What an idiot.

A "truce" wouldn't help with anything but with his ability to continue to stage the next major strike.

We can't even validate the author. Yeah, we're pulling out because some tape offers a "truce".

How about a "surrender"? That is more easily verified.

Not only him, but every one of his goat-humping, knuckle-dragging, troglodyte followers.

Why must you offend troglodytes?

Are we sure this tape wasn't recorded by a Howard Dean clone who speaks Arabic fluently??? Sounds like the Hellfires are making things a little too hot for Osama and his pals, but it also sounds like this tape was created by our very own DNC.

Bingo-bango. Lying to gain a strategic advantage is rule #1 of the Muslim military playbook.

This tape, if it is real, is proof that al Qaeda sees the battle as lost. And his followers see it the same way.

All they want is a delay to rebuild and reorganize. They are losing and know it. Now is the time to up the pressure in any way possible.

A message from Bini?? Maybe we did get Zawgawi (sp) or at least he's badly wounded.

The message certainly puts the emphasis on that one bad dude...who has been making tapes instead of bin laden.

I don't think it's bini...It would be the worst time to risk a communication intercept.

And a truce?? That's not bini!! That would be about the worst thing he could say to his hired hands.

According to all of the garbage that the Muslim fanatics have put out...once you get on the enemy list...you cannot be removed, and its a finsh to the end type of episode...so I'm wondering how Ossama can face his big fans and announce that he is ready for a peace treaty. The Muslim religion doesn't allow for that...you have to finish the job or die trying. so ethically, the guy just blinked a thousand times and told his followers that he can't never win. Makes you wonder just how much damage has really been done to his organization and how many friends of his no longer exist.
