Not at all, I'm quite pleased with the strikes. Just driving home the point that there won't be much "change" in Washington.

Probably not, but he has only been in a few days!
The Associated Press needs a better proofreader.
Hahahaha
(from the above article)
Poor old left peacnik Clinton was stuck with the Somali conflict for the first year in office. It seems traditional to leave a turd on the rug for the next president.
Albeing well Obama will nuke Paris Texas and Paris France before handing the reigns over.
N.B. article in the Sunday Times a couple of weeks ago that Pakistan is actually starting to engage Al Quaeda.

They tend to do that when trying to gain favor with the U.S. or deflect international criticism. On a more positive note, I've read that the villagers in Pakistan's frontier are beginning to get sick of Arab al Qaeda members and have started to attack them and rat them out to intelligence agencies. That's how things turned around in Iraq. Hopefully it will work that way in Pakistan and Afghanistan, too.
I'll dig it out, but in this case they'd actually formed an effective intelligence agency which was working with FBI/Scotland Yard Handlers.
Actually arresting people and closing institutions rather than just killing a few random peasants and torturing confessions.
Hey do you think I could buy a blacksite prison cheap? The one on Diego Garcia must be lovely.

They also have a habit of letting prisoners escape from jail, etc. Only time will tell if this is just an attempt to dampen criticism of the Mumbai massacre.
Why Diego Garcia instead of Guantanamo? You'd git mo' fo' yo' money.
Can I steal that pun, unless you want to send it to 118 118.
Why's Barrack selling Guantanomo?
To git mo fo you money.
This was one of the articles I've read about al Qaeda's problems in Pakistan:
