CAIRO — Al Qaeda is preparing for attacks in the United States but the terror group is offering a conditional truce to help rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan, according to excerpts of an audiotape aired Thursday on Al-Jazeera, purporting to be the voice of Usama bin Laden.
The voice on the tape said heightened security measures in the United States are not the reason there have been no attacks there since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Instead, the reason is "because there are operations that need preparations, and you will see them," he said, according to one translation. "Our people are able to infiltrate through your security measures no matter how strong."
"As for the delay in similar operations in America is not because of your security measures; operations are being prepared and you will see them in your homes," he added.
The voice on the tape also proposed a "long-term truce" with the U.S. military.
"We do not mind offering you a long-term truce with fair conditions that we adhere to," he said. "We are a nation that God has forbidden to lie and cheat. So both sides can enjoy security and stability under this truce so we can build Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been destroyed in this war. There is no shame in this solution, which prevents the wasting of billions of dollars that have gone to those with influence and merchants of war in America."
how is that diffrent from any other "truce" or other contract agreed upon by the US gov't?fuck this. call a truce and then bomb the shit out of them.
