OBL Truce Offer
OK, the US Intelligence agencies, armed forces, etc have not been able to locate OBL in the 4 plus years since 9/11

OBL has now offered a truce (OK, allegedly it was OBL)

So my question is this:

Why doesn't the gummint take him up on that offer ? After all, to talk about a truce, OBL would have to tell the gummint how to contact him. email, phone, whatever the method of communication he offers, he could be traced and located and....

Instead, Scotty is beating his chest and bragging about how we klll terrorists, not negotiate with them:wtf:

1. It may be fake but IMO, if Kerry was President

there would been talks all along the way.

Many have said that OBL wants to continue the fight,I don't believe they do.

But --- the demands that they would make would be to REAL for BushCrooks.

They want us OUT of their countries and OUT of their business and OUT of their OIL


Ha - no go from Bushco.

2. OBL is a Saudi Prince, and the previous Saudi King once
announced that he would "ruin" the West. So, I don't see OBL wanting a truce.

4. I'm not saying the US should enter in negotiations in
good faith. All I'm saying is that if OBL's offer was accepted - he would have to tell us how to reach him, wouldn't he?

But there is the theory that Bushco doesn't want to find him at all....

3. Perfect way to consign Democrats to the trash heap forever...
Yes lets advocate negotiating with a man who has killed thousands of Americans. Bush has been inept and moronic on this, but that is no reason to enter into negotiations with him.

5. They're probably trying something like that.

Never believe a word the government (this one or anyone) says when it comes to war.

PS: Never believe what any warrior says, including Osama bin Laden.
