First the bad cop: "attacks are coming.....they're in preparation....won't be long now..."
Then the good cop: "I offer a truce....we're reasonable people....we know you guys don't want to be in Iraq....just leave now and we'll call it quits..."
Divide and conquer as they say. Classic.
No wonder we couldnt find him..
Don't believe him for a minute. He's still in cahoots with Bert
I think he is still kicking.
I don't think that he and Zawahiri are in the same location.....
"In the tape, broadcast by al Jazeera television, bin Laden said al-Qaida was willing to respond to the fact that public U.S. opinion favored withdrawing troops from Iraq."
Apparently he hasn't heard about the vote against pulling out of Iraq.
Listen up, you moral infidels. Jehovah God has promised to make you desolate. Can you control the earthquakes or the droughts? We shall see...
Is that you Michael?
Remember, it is considered OK for the Islamist to lie to infidels. No truce! Extermination!
He probably feels that the Iranians have us by the nose on the nuclear issue and therefore he is standing down his troops.
I keep thinking of the part in Independence Day where the alien escapes in the lab. President Bush should model his response on that...
Bin Laden: Can there be a peace between us?
Bush (in menacing, alien voice): No peace...
Bin Laden: What do you want us to do?
Bush: To die.
Really, Bush could just play the clip for them, and then explain that then explain that we can't have peace because this isn't a war, it is an extermination.
PISH-TUSH. Even if you only succeeded in cutting it half off, that would be something.
POOH-BAH. It would be taken as an earnest of your desire to comply with the Imperial will.
KO-KO. No. Pardon me, but there I am adamant. As official Headsman, my reputation is at stake, and I can't consent to embark on a professional operation unless I see my way to a successful result.
POOH-BAH. This professional conscientiousness is highly creditable to you, but it places us in a very awkward position.
KO-KO. My good sir, the awkwardness of your position is grace itself compared with that of a man engaged in the act of cutting off his own head.
why didn't he go to france first? oh that's right - they've already surrendered.
wasn't it US Grant that said "unconditional surrender" is the only acceptable outcome?
Now that I think of it, I've never seen Kerry and Osama photographed together. Coincidence?
How would would like to be the parents of one of the kids who "martyred" himself for this cause? Now that it's his butt on the line he wants a truce?
I can't believe the way Fox has been asking the "question" of accepting the "truce."
Where is Gandalf when you need him? "'We will have peace, when you and all your works have perished-and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar... and a corrupter of men's hearts."
Have you guys notice that this is the exact rhetoric that Democrat always talkabout. I smell something sinister here...
I don't think old Osama's completely lost the war, but he's completely lost his mind.
I think the Osama tape has shown up, because his #2 man, Al Zawahiri, who normally would be the public face of Al Qaeda via videotape, is dead. That is why Al Qaeda chose now to release the tape of Bin Laden. If Zawahiri were alive, they should be showing a videotape of him, but it ain't going to happen, because he's deader than a doornail. The proof will be in the pudding. Let's see if another video of Zawahiri shows up in the near future. Want to place your bets? May bet is that there won't be one.
accept the truce. put the Dems in charge of negotiating and enforcing it. when it blows up, it's their fault, again.............
