Osama Offer
A new alleged Osama tape's out, and he's offering a European truce.
"I offer a truce to them (Europe) with a commitment to stop operations against any state which vows to stop attacking Muslims or interfere in their affairs," the voice said.
"The announcement of the truce starts with the withdrawal of the last soldier from our land and the door is open for three months from the date of the announcement of this statement.
Interesting move. The old "divide & conquer" gambit. The Italians & Brits have already declined his offer, respectively calling it "unthinkable" and an "absurdity". How right they are. One can't negotiate with terrorists any more than one could negotiate with a rabid dog.
Even more interesting is Osama's hit list.
"President (George W.) Bush and leaders in his sphere, big media institutions and the United Nations ... all of them are a fatal danger to the world, and the Zionist lobby is their most dangerous and difficult member, and we insist, God willing, on continuing to fight them," the man on the tape said.
Media institutions? That's the first time I've seen them mentioned. And the UN? Ha. The UN's no threat as long as you keep your hand firmly on your wallet.
The voice said public opinion polls in Europe showed that its people wanted peace and urged scholars, clerics and traders to form a "permanent committee to build awareness among Europeans about the justice of our causes, foremost Palestine."
Hear that, smelly hippies? Your unwavering support of the Palestinian murderers is having an effect....just not an effect any rational person would want.
And so the war continues.
