Who knows? If there is any foundation to claims that he wants a truce, is there any track record that he never kept to his word before?

Look at the background of people like bin Laden and many others who have fought for decades. Apart from the usual plain evil and devious mob within any assembly of people, they don't look like the type of people who break their word. They may appear deviant and warped in many ways, but they ain't stupid.

Whether Al Queda can keep their word, may be another matter since bin Laden probably don't "own" Al Queda.

If there is any truth in claims of a truce... ya gotta ask why. The answer may not be far away in that almost every "terrorist org" has eventually did a deal and both sides end up sitting at a conference table.

Dunno why... but I'd be more concerned about others keeping their word - they rarely did in the past, why now?
