#5 It will be very interesting, indeed, to see how President Obama looks back on his Nobel Peace Prize and his AfPak war as he looks back on his record from the perspective of December 2012, play4keeps... and again what he thinks a generation from now. One only hopes, for his sake, that he doesn't turn out as bitter as former president Carter.

#6 I'm betting it will be worse than Carter. Obama will be this generation's Hoover. And he doesn't have the Quaker background to allow him to deal in a civil fashion with his chickens coming home to roost.

#7 Update:
Al Qaeda Shadow Army Commander Killed In US Strike

A commander in al Qaeda's military organization was among 17 Islamist extremists killed during today's strikes in the Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan in Pakistan.

Zuhaib al Zahibi, a commander in al Qaeda's Shadow Army, or the Lashkar al Zil, was among seven Arab "foreigners" and nine Taliban fighters killed in one of two airstrikes in the Datta Khel region in North Waziristan, a senior US military intelligence official told The Long War Journal. Two other Taliban fighters were also killed in an earlier, separate strike in the Datta Khel region.
