Osama Bin Who?

Al Jazeera:

In an audio tape broadcast on Aljazeera, Osama bin Laden has warned that al-Qaida is preparing an attack very soon, but also offers Americans a long-term truce.

The voice, attributed to Bin Laden and apparently addressing Americans, said: “The new operations of al-Qaida has not happened not because we could not penetrate the security measures. It is being prepared and you’ll see it in your homeland very soon.”

But the voice on the tape, which appeared to be aimed at the American public, also offered a truce: “We do not mind establishing a long-term truce between us and you.”

Well, it’s a good thing that Bush isn’t that concerned about Bin Laden, because if he was, this might be cause for worry. He just offered a “truce” with no terms and therefore can’t comply with, while threatening another attack if we don’t. Given the heckuva job that Bush has done with the “war on terror”, homeland security… is there any real doubt that Bin Laden is perfectly capable of attacking us again, if he so chose?
