Not! But apparently OBL thinks he is in a position to bargain with us. It’s kind of hard to bargain when you have NOTHING to give. OBL is a leader with no way to lead. By the time his trained donkey can carry his messenger across the mountains to the terrorists, the terrorists are dead.
That’s not to say that because OBL is powerless (or damn near) that terrorism is defeated. We still have Zarquawi running around in Iraqi somewhere. But he too is getting closer to receiving his 70 virgins. We just took out the top bomb maker for AQ this past week with the predator attack in Pakistan. It is only a matter of time before the snake has no head at all.
All signs point to a stabilizing Iraq – which is not to say that Iraq is currently stabilized. Iraq is far from reaching a point where they no longer need ANY foreign help. The recent elections, and especially the last election have gone a long way to that country being able to care for itself.
OBL recent truce offer reminds me of what Saddam said upon his discovery in that hole – something along the lines of “I am the President of Iraq and am willing to discuss terms”. Terms? Yeah…I don’t think so. The only term that will be offered to OBL and others like him is how do you want your death – quick or slow. We have excellent options to facilitate both.
