OBL - to W's rescue

Osama may just be W's "Knight in Shining Armor." Just when the "I" word is gathering steam, just when more and more are calling for withdrawal...OBL comes forward.

Breaking more than a year's silence, Osama bin Laden warned Americans in an audiotape released today that Al Qaeda was planning more attacks on the United States, but he offered a "long truce" on undefined terms.

Of course we rejected the "truce" offer because "we never negotiate with terrorists." But maybe this once we should have seen what OBL was talking about.

Remember when W said he didn't know where Osama was and didn't really care - W's eyes were on Iraq. Now it seems our eyes can be on both Osama and Iran at the same time.

The timing is perfect - for W. Thanks Osama.
