If Bush Was A Statesman...
Osama has given the forces of freedom in Iraq a big chance, if only George Bush has what it takes to take it. Short and sweet: Declare that he will call Osamas bluff and, since we all are on the same page now, if Osama will guarantee Iraq peace and the chance to pursue their democracy during the "long term truce" the U.S. will have seen its goals realized, and can begin a withdrawal immediately.Or does Bush really have a different agenda? We all know that Osama is a liar and a psychopath, and could not deliver on his offer in any case, but there might be quite a bit of hay to be made with this offer. Osama would decline it, since he wants war, not peace. But Bush could declare that our aims are limited, and thus further marginalize our homegrown traitors and leftists, not to mention the Euro-trash that is incessantly whining about American imperialism. But. Could Bush afford the chance that Osama might just take him up on the offer? Just asking....
