#1 1.it sounds like the Pakistanis are really serious about this.

2. Rather more so than the Saudis, I might add.

3. It seems like the Wana and other NWFP operations may have been more productive than previously thought, particularly in terms of disrupting AQ and driving them to the cities.

4. Whatever role Saif el Adel and others are playing in Iran, at least some operational planning is happening in Pakistan. Perhaps Teheran is the base for actions in the middle east - KSA, Tawhid in Iraq and elsewhere, other ops in Iraq, Turkey, etc, while Pakland remains the global HQ, with planning for strikes in CONUS.????

#2 What's that old saying? If you are going to strike the king, make sure you kill him. The Islamonuts didn't and Musharraf wants his pound of flesh.

#3 I can see that the suicide bomb attacker got stuck with a women's bomb vest.

Bomber: "Tailor, I have a job for you. It must be very discreet. I need this woman's bomb vest altered for my body."

Tailor: "Don't worry, don't worry! It may take a few hours but I will remove the darts. No problem! No problem! I do it all the time."
