Well mostly asking for peace. When he did it in 2006 I thought it was pretty cool but bin Laden was more like asking for the US' surrender. Now it seems almost like Zawahri is asking for peace. Maybe in another year if he and bin Laden are still alive they'll be asking to surrender
Good news either way.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

My thoughts exactly. Even if they do stop when the US pulls out, they'll just spend the time preparing for another 9/11 style major attack.

The other fun part is that they could be trying for international recognition as a political entity. From there, they negotiate with different countries to give Al Qaeda a homeland, or they go back to terrorist attacks against the most stubborn country.
Of course, in that homeland, the whole world knows where they are.
Some land on the seafloor of the Pacific should suffice.

Uh, why would Al-Qaeda want a homeland? That's not what they're fighting for. Their ideology basicaly calls for the destruction of all non-Muslims. The closest thing they want to a homeland is for US troops to leave Saudi Arabia, as they view their presence there as blasphemous (due to the presence of Mecca).

I know you're joking, but you'd be amazed how many people I've heard saying that seriously.

After all, what's a little carpet-bombing going to do?
