#2 The Pakistan armed forces are not ready to fight against their own tribal brethren. Thats why these American commandoes will be sent to Pakistan to take part in the action, and thats why Americans will supervise the operation...

And that is why AQ is pooping themselves.

#3 Enjoy yourselves, gentlemen. The less that's reported in the open sources we see -- except for the frequent promotion announcements of new #3s -- the happier I'll be. ;-)

Is this a good cop, bad cop situation? Pakistan negotiates, we harm?

#4 President Bush promised to bring the killers to justice. It certainly appears that 2008 is going to be a year of rolling up al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

Mr. Bush apparently keeps his promises.

#5 If I recall correctly, Bush said something to the effect: "Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done."

'Lovely turn of phrase there.

#6 True, LR, but I do prefer the "bring justice to our enemies" approach.
