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

Already secular academia has replaced the Christ-referenced B.C. and A.D. with the pathetic B.C.E. and C.E. Your prediction is not at all unrealistic.

"There can be no doubt as to who the leader of the Democratic Party is. It is Osama bin Laden. "

The message in this tape is pretty sophomoric... which is what we all expect from the Democrat party and the DUmmies supporting them.

Could be a ploy to buy some time to re-group. As Rush once said, "truce" is just Arabic for "We're out of ammunition."

If he is asking for a truce, it means that Al Queda is hurting and needs time to regroup. If there were plans for a terrorist attack (and I have no doubt that there were), this means that they have been seriously disrupted by the recent killing of some of the top Al Queda leaders.

Is there a sense that the missile strike might have struck a nerve or is it just the long term toll on OBL that is why they are weakening to the point of offering surrender?

By the way, will you be in DC for the March for Life (Jan 22-23)?

Again Osama repeats Democrat talking points.

If OBL ran in the 2008 primaries, he'd get 70% of the DU vote. And I'm not being even slightly facetious.

Let up, hell. Time to stamp down.

Obviously he hasn't gotten the Dems memo about separation of church and state.

Prince Humperdinck: Surrender.

Westley: You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.

"...the group was open to a conditional truce with Americans..."

Yeah! The condition is that they can attack us anytime, anywhere, and we can't do a thing about it!

POUR IT ON!

Intepretation of the tape (To al-qaeda supporters):

"We're all dead now, get busy!"

Wonder what those 'conditions' are?

That we all convert to Islam, and nuke Israel ourselves.

..."We have no objection to responding to this with a long-term truce based on fair conditions," he said...

The US response: "NUTS".

Osama bin Laden warned that al-Qaida was preparing new attacks inside the United States, but said the group was open to a conditional truce with Americans, according to an audiotape attributed to him on Thursday.
For every American killed we will take an Arab leader...

Do you honestly think that would work? Osama and his ilk are OPPOSED to most of the leaders of the Arab world, calling them apostate and kaffirs.

It is so wonderful that Bin Laden is so open to a "truce" and in the interests of world peace we should offer to conclude a full armistice of peace instead.

All he had to do is the following:

1.) Surrender those involved in sponsoring and exectuting the murders of 9/11.
2.) Permanently Renounce his Fatwahs calling for the terror campaign.
3.) Surrender Zarkowi for his crimes.
4.) Instruct all that have followed his Jihad worldwide to peacefully depart to their homes retaining their weapons, but promising to work for representative government in their homelands peacefully.
5.) Endorse the elected Governments of Iraq and Afghanistan and conclude a written peace with both.
6.) Declare a Fatwah against those involved in treaty violations in nuc development in Iran and elsewhere in the Muslim world.
At the full agreement broadcast to the world by Bin Laden himself, a defensive-fire-only order will be issued to our troops. Ninety days after the full compliance by his forces, all US troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and staged for those two areas in the region shall return to their home bases.
