#1 Klingons come to the aid of sagging poll numbers with Abbottabad redux.

No mention of origin of drone mission. No mention of location of targeting or bomb damage assessment (BDA) elements. No Full Motion Video (FMV) or happy snaps.

Still no "need to know" on number of US personnel "left behind" in Iraq after pull out. Oh, ok. Got it.

Memory hole hatch slams shut.

#2 It matters to the MSM, to the public, not so much.
It's like a Reds v Pirates game. Only the dugouts are keeping score.

#4 If this is Joe's October surprise, someone should get him a calendar. If the Dobbs decision didn't move the needle, this surely will not.

#7 Al-Q has been losing influence to ISIS for a decade now.

ISIS is probably also celebrating this hit.

#8 I heard somewhere that Zawahiri had a really bad form of asthma and it was difficult for him to move around much. One could try watching his breathing in the more recent videos, but I don't know if there has been one in the last couple of years.

Moved out of a cave to town for 'medical reasons', I guess.

#9 Maybe ten years ago I guess.

#10 We still have intelligence sources inside Afghanistan? Are we really sure the drone didn't hit a wedding party or a car load of kids?

I wanted to see bin Laden's head on a pike but Baraq wouldn't allow that. So, exactly, how is it confirmed?
