Some excerpts from the OBL message...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4628932.stm

My message to you is about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the way to end it...

We do not object to a long-term truce with you on the basis of fair conditions that we respect....

In this truce, both parties will enjoy security and stability and we will build Iraq and Afghanistan, which were destroyed by the war...

Finally, I would like to tell you that the war is for you or for us to win. If we win it, it means your defeat and disgrace forever as the wind blows in this direction with God's help. If you win it, you should read the history. We are a nation that does not tolerate injustice and seek revenge forever...

I think this is a momentous recording. IIRC there has not been a single message from OBL even mentioning the word "truce". While the message still carries the usual format of meet our demands or else, I think the wording of it is much weaker and more conciliatory than previous messages. This is a good thing.

Thoughts on this anyone?

JMI,

I googled that and couldn't find anything. Is that an OBL quote?

IIRC, OBL did have a "message" that stated there would be a "truce". It was directed towards the Europeans, in a hope to drive a wedge between us and the Europeans, in Iraq. Something along the lines of ... "You pull your troops out and my band of unguided misfits won't hurt you."

The thing that has me a little concerned is, OBL let's on of these "messages" out and somewhere one of his groups lets go with some type of attack.

Well.....We do have the Super Bowl coming up.
It's in Detroit MI. Which is directly North of Canada and is close to the great lakes and a "gateway" into the Atlantic. An easy way to smuggle an "Item" in.
The game is being played inside a Dome.....

Dome.....Super Bowl.....The events of 9/11........Damn you Tom Clancy (This was just said in jest.....but it does make you go Hmmmmmmm....)

Yes Sir.

If you'll see on the map a small sliver of Windsor Ontario, CANADA is directly SOUTH of Detroilet (LOL...I like that one ).

That's a good point. Wasn't that right after the bombing in Spain?

I dunno. This message just struck me as more conciliatory than the usual messages he puts out...

Looks as if it was BEFORE the bombings in Spain.

Does any of this sound familiar? This is precisely the kind of deal bin Laden proposed to Europe, and it is precisely the deal the Spanish cravenly accepted when, after the al-Qaeda train bombings of March 11, they voted for a Socialist candidate who promptly removed Spanish troops from Iraq. Bin Laden hopes to achieve the same result in the US. ...

Here's the link I found this at....

I see your point. It does follow the pattern set for Spain. Here's hoping nothing will come of it.

Edit to add: Good research by the way.
