#1 Sounds very much like something the Sarahcuda said last week; something about defending ourselves and pre-emptive strikes. Or did I make that part up?

#2 WTF? Who the hell is Condi working for?

Unless these raids into Pakistan turn into a bid shitstorm politically, this could help Bambis credibility.

#3 Obama needs to realize that military actions are not necessarily required to be floated beforehand on the MSM.

#4 Mike, that was Susan Rice, not Condi Rice.

#5 Thank you, A. Is this another example of
a "typo-lie," the incidental insertion of false information that can be dismissed as a simple error if it is challenged.? Or just simple mis-information?

#9 One has to wonder how Obama's erstwhile supporters on the Left are going to react, once it dawns on them that it means that war is going to last a whole lot longer.

#10 How positively Nixonian of him. To me, this would be a great compliment, but Obamatons may regard it as a grave insult.
In particular, I wonder what his VC contingent; Ayers, Dohrn, and the Hollywood Grays; make of this willingness to attack enemy sanctuaries in another country. They weren't so pleased when Nixon did it in Cambodia.

#11 I find myself wondering what his opinion is gonna be once it's him that's responsible for the outcome instead of GW Bush.
