Truce!?!

Osama wants to cut a deal. Essentially, it comes down to we will quit blowing people up in Iraq if America goes home.

It's not quite that simple. America is not going home for a long time. Our troop levels will draw down, but our presence in the Middle East is something akin to the American commitment to NATO during the Cold War.

As to cutting a deal, I'd suggest that any American politician pursuing that policy course could not survive. You are the avowed mastermind behind September 11th and actions have consequences.

Basically we'd love to meet you--dead or alive, but preferably dead.

By the way Osama old buddy, if you had the chance to visit an American gun range, you would discover that you are avery prominent personality--down range--in the 10 ring.
