#2 "...11 militants were killed."

#3 No civilians were killed or injured during the operation

You know, there's a lesson to be learned here.

#4 Given the elapsed time since Beslan, the non-existent follow-up to Puttyputz's dramatic declaration regards going after terrs everywhere, Russkie hard-currency whoring to any asshat regime willing to pay for whatever's left in the inventory, and a hundred other examples of bloviation and dissembling and Back-stabbing Bullshit for Dollars, this has the odor of PR.

Once, looooong ago, I would've taken such an announcement on faith as likely, if not truth. Now - not a chance.
