So I was reading today about bin Laden's threat of future attacks and his passing offer a "truce." This sounds like similar threats/offer packages he's put forth over the past few years. If I recall, he made a similar threat directed toward Europe about a year ago. Now let me start by saying that I don't think the war in Iraq has been worth the enormous expense to the American taxpayer, not to mention the loss of lives of Americans and Iraqis. But boy does this ever sound like bin Laden in on the run or what? Would you have thought the man who has consistently decried "death to Americans" would be interested in a truce? What would lead to such a change of heart? Clearly he's on the run and is scrambling to find a way to turn down the heat. One early argument for the war was that we would "take the fight to them" or "get it off American soil." I didn't really buy that argument at first, but it can't be a fluke that there hasn't been another attack in America in almost five years. Further, now bin Laden's priorities seem to be on what's going on in Iraq. Again, he's clearly more concerned about getting the troops away from where he is hiding. Ultimately, I may think the cost of this war is too high, but you can't argue with the fact we're now in a position to get this guy...
