  By FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press Writer ROME - The three-month offer of a terrorism truce — made in April purportedly by Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) — expired on Thursday, little noticed in European countries that had been invited to accept it. At the time the taped message was broadcast on Islamic satellite networks April 15, CIA (news - web sites) officials said that technical analysis of the recording indicated it was probably authentic. "I announce a truce with the European countries that do not attack Muslim countries," said the audiotape by a man identifying himself as bin Laden.
"The door to a truce is open for three months," but the time frame could be extended. "The truce will begin when the last soldier leaves our countries," the speaker said without elaborating. An apparent attempt to drive a wedge between Europe and America, it was quickly spurned by Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain. -- Doesn't anyone read anymore??? In the Islamic faith, there is no such thing as a truce. The closest thing to it is called "Hudna" .
A hudna is a cease to hostilites during a battle for the sheer purpose to resupply and gear up for round 2. They have no intentions of surrender or negotiations. You can't negotiate with these animals. They only understand one thing...and that is power. If you destroy them...they lose. If you give in...they win. it is as simple as that. It really is.
