Would Osama now be known as the "Ayatolla of Rock and Rolla?

I don't think anyone's dumb enough to fall for this.

I mean, Arafat called "truces" and "ceasefires" with the Israelis . . . and we all see how well that worked.

In other news, Ace, why didn't you ever do a spoof of the confirmation hearings? I would have loved to have read a dialogue between Alito and Kennedy in which Teddy was asking Alito about his constitutional right to have his junk handled by strippers from the Diamond Club.

Wait, is this supposed to be, your so-called, sarcasm?

Translation: Hudna! Hudna! Quit explodidating us so we can regroup! Hudna! No fair!

LOL, Monty!

Sadly, that's exactly what Islamic strategy calls for: strategic redeployment and diplomacy while one regroups, recuperates, and restocks. Then it's showtime! Again. Until the next round of quiet.

What about THIS quote???

In fact, Iraq has become a point of attraction and recruitment of qualified resources.

Now, where have I heard that before???

I think I'll use that Humungous pic tomorrow. I usually do a TV/movie thing on Friday anyway. I wonder how many Sullivan captions I can attach to it.

Completely off topic, but today is Edgar Allen Poe's birthday! He's 197 years young!

Uhm, we been killin all his men. His best men.

Him stuck in cave.

Him for over 4 years say many times "Attack coming soon" but no attack.

Him now say "Attack coming soon, unless you want truce? You please want truce?"

Me think me not worried right now.

We hunt, find, kill bad guy.

Only last week, everyone thought he was dead. I wonder if he made this tape from the Muslim afterlife??

Sounds like Osama is working for the DNC and MoveOn.org.

Only last week, everyone thought he was dead.

Naw. You're thinkin' of Snake Pliskin!

Osama is silent for months, we blow up a Pakastani terror dinner party and suddenly we have a tape of him and a proposed truce? Makes me wonder who we really got.

Naw. You're thinkin' of Snake Pliskin!

Actually, I was thinking of Jacob McCandles!

"Just walk away. Just walk away."

I used to do this when I was five, I'd hit some kid then yell "truce!", so if he hits me back, he's a tucebreaker.

Him now say "Attack coming soon, unless you want truce? You please want truce?"

lol, Red Jode.

OBL: "We are, er we were planning attacks...dang"

I'm thinking his little tape is a day late and a wmd-maker short. Po lil osama, can't seem
to catch a break.

I assumed we wouldn't see anything about the Alito hearings until it's time for another episode of The Apprentice.

But what did he think of "Brokeback Mountain?"

The CIA has just announced that the voice is definately OBL and that it was clearly recorded recently as OBL hit all of the current DNC talking points.

At the risk of insulting ace and having him flame me and hurt my feelings I think this is significant. Anyone who is not Jack Murtha can see that they are most definitely not winning and are in fact losing and the pace is increasing. I think it might finally be dawning on caveboy that the US military is not the Soviet army and Bush has no intention of cutting and running.

His only hope (surrender ain't an option) is to appeal to those who 1) don't believe in this war and 2) those that believe we are losing and get them to pressure Bush into calling it quits. There really is no other plausible reason for doing this.

Will there be any takers Jack?

First no Alito fillibuster from those spineless Dems and now this from Bin Ladin.

sigh

Doesn't anyone want to fight back against Chimpy Bushhitler's tyranny?

He's 197 years young!

I don't feel so good though.

Nice sign. We're deep into a winning endgame in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Too bad Bush may be about to lose Iran -- and, thus, everything -- without even trying.

Incidentally, the tape dates to December, so the whole death report from Ledeen is starting to look plausible.

Anyone who is not Jack Murtha can see that they are most definitely not winning

There's nothing about Osama on Atrios, Washington Monthly, Talking Points Memo, or the front page of dKos. That should give you a good idea of what it portends about the war.

That was a good one.

Honestly, I don't think this is a new strategy. Appealing to the "fifth column-ists" in our own country? Heck, they've been trying to do that ever since day one.

Allah,

Surely that is because they recognize just a bit too much of their own writing in the transcript?

Will there be any takers Jack?

Many. Few will be surprising, fewer still will have any influence to make a difference.

I do find it interesting that with all the talk of Iraq having nothing to do with bin Laden, he is now making it a condition of his truce that the US leaves.

Osama's Overture Only Ornamental. Obviously Omits One Option - Own Obliteration

The only time you see somebody wanting a truce is when they are losing the war..

I believe that Osama's arguments were lifted directly from the editorial page of the nyt. However, I imagine that the nyt is disappointed that Osama called for a truce rather than for the US to unilaterally and unconditionally surrender.

Can't you hear the nyt editorial board and Paul Krugman and Frank Rich all complaining tomorrow that the US and President Bush have 'indimidated' Osama. And they'll do so without once mentioning 9/11/01 - the day that history skipped as far as they're concerned.

I bet there are plenty of college profs. who think this is totally acceptable. I was shocked to see OBL recomend a book written by some lefty jerk-off. What is with the reviews, I saw a Choamsky, a Vidal but no Hersh? WTF?

Just take out the mullahs with one cruise missile already and launch a coup. They musta bought off enough local power-brokers by now, right?

Here's an interesting take on it from Rob at File It Under

Does Tubio bin Laden write speeches for Osama now?
Sparkles beat me to it, but I must say the resemblance in theses used by Osama and the Dems is uncanny.

Nothing on Kos, Atrios, or TPM, yet?
I'm surprised the usual "I question the timing" hasn't appeared attached to a conspiracy theory about the Bush Admin releasing this audio to bolster support for warrantless domestic spying.

Democrats will have a difficult battle ahead of them to oppose the Patriot Act and stop the NSA from conducting investigations while Osama has just stated very clearly that attacks on U.S. soil are imminent.

The only time you see somebody wanting a truce is when they are losing the war.

Well, except for the Democrats......

They would ask for a truce if there seemed to be no other way to lose a war.

Evidently the left wing dim-wits aren't pulling their share of the load for UBL so he appealed for more help from them. I expect Hellary and Harry to request foreigh (money and military) aid for him sometime tomorrow. It s really funny to hear him use the dim-wit talking points and polls. I knew they were providing aid and comfort to him but now it's clear they are full pardners since he requested their help in getting the bad ole boy Bush out of his way. He's having a hard time launching an attack with the NSA watching his every move. Witness the Hellfire missile that took out a lot of his leadership. He knows there's a rat in the pack but can't figure out if it's in his camp or the dim-wit left wing camp. Someone isn't being true to their (dim-wit and UBL) mission to destroy America. If they get any funnier (or is it more pitiful) I don't think I can stand it. Busting a gut laughing now.

I like the one man's proposal tonight on FOX news. Invite UBL to a surrender meeting and send a Hellfire millile in our place, or i'd add send Hellary, Dusty, Turbin Durbin, Drunken Ted. the coward Howard, Hanoi John and a few more to represent us and then send the Hellfire missiles (10 or more). Killing two or more of the enemy in one place makes sense to me.

It's been said.
"So, you're losin' now, Osama? Who's the strong horse? Who's the strong horse? Yeah, that's right, we are."

(Drops O'mama been Losin' to the playground asphalt) "Thanks for the lunch money. Punk."

Oooppsy, that was me.

I do find it interesting that with all the talk of Iraq having nothing to do with bin Laden, he is now making it a condition of his truce that the US leaves.

I can't think of when withdrawal of US troops from gulf states hasn't been a condition. At the announcement of the creation of the umbrella group everyone now calls al Qaeda, at the time of the fatwah declaring war on the US, after the African attacks, prior to the 9/11 attacks, after the 9/11 attacks, after the Spanish attacks, after the London attacks. Pretty much at every point.

We dont make truce with terrorists especialy if their responible for the murder of many men,women and children

Speaking of Mad Max, did you know the actress who played the chubby-but-hot blonde chick died of cancer?
