In an audio tape broadcast on Aljazeera, Osama bin Laden has warned that al-Qaida was preparing an attack very soon, but also offered Americans a "long-term truce".
"The new operations of al-Qaida has not happened not because we could not penetrate the security measures. It is being prepared and you'll see it in your homeland very soon," the voice attributed to bin Laden said, apparently addressing Americans.
But the voice on the tape, which appeared to be aimed at the American public, also offered a truce: "We do not mind establishing a long-term truce between us and you."
The tape, broadcast on Thursday but dated to December last year, comes after a year of silence from the al-Qaida leader.
"This message is about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and how to end those wars," it began.
"It was not my intention to talk to you about this, because those wars are definitely going our way.
"But what triggered my desire to talk to you is the continuous deliberate misinformation given by your President [George] Bush, when it comes to polls made in your home country which reveal that the majority of your people are willing to withdraw US forces from Iraq."

Truce?
When he's rotting away in a US prison of some sort, THEN we can discuss a truce!
Ambassador Vinnie Bfrom the Bronx said this of the latest tape:
"I gotcha truce right here!
You want peace talks. Fine, I'll take a piece of you and then we talk. That bath towel on your head is wrapped a bit too tight aint it Yosama? The only withdraw you need to worry about is how you gonna withdraw my boot from your rear when we find what rock you been livin' under. Capiche?"
sounds like he is scared, he is lossing and he is saying that we are and offering a truce, why offer a truce if you are winning? That is not their stated goal, their stated goal is to distroy our culture, but they are failling and losing so they are trying to claim to offer a truce so that we don't distroy them.
Maybe we should accept it. But when we do, insist that he show up in New York to sign the truce.

Apparently this is a direct reflection of the attitudes and behaviors of Mohammed himself - who engaged in the same behavior.
It's not a case of loosing - it's a case of essence. This is what they do. This is what they have already done - a truce was offered to Spain THEN they were bombed.
