It strikes me as EXTREMELY desperate for a "religion" to be offering a truce to "Satan".....
Was the word for "truce" he used "hudna?"
The United States will have their mid-term elections and AQ wants to sway the elections?
No more Wiretapes!
I am quite vexed by this latest tape and I believe he is ready to hit us again.
What was it that was written in “The Art of War”, (paraphrasing) When you are week project strength, when you are strong appear week” or some such.
OBL was greatly criticized in the Islamic world after 911 for not issuing us a warring before the attack.
He knows full well that we will not take him up on his truce offer. Now he is positioned to strike with greater Islamic moral authority. If he strikes, and I believe he will, he can show how Islam is morally superior by offering terms only to be rejected by the infidels.
Several years pass between AQ attacks and I believe we are due. Our border security remains vulnerable and we have so many high value soft targets we can never protect them all. Nothing has really changed since 911.
The enemy is at the gate if he is not already inside. After the smoke clears and we recover our dead, the DNC and ACLU will pay a heavy price for their treachery.
One thing I have learned about OBL, ignore him at your peril. He means what he says.
