And, if your October Surprise radar is still on, this was a near miss.

Wow.
Not enough time for Zawahiri to respond with a tape before the election. But, if he was the target he will respond to the attack. Reports are there will be protests in Northern Pakistan tomorrow.
How long can Musharraf hold onto power there? I'm very worried about the direction of that country.

IThere wer impromptu demonstrations today, but they were small. I would bet tomorrow will be streetchoking affairs. I'll be curious how far into the country and at what level it extends. It may offer a really good glimpse at the level of penetration in the urban centers.
And, I don't know about Musharraf. He's caught on such a fine line playing between the US and his politics.
I think the key question is whether the Pakistanis knew before hand or whether this was another US drone strike.

I know. I don't know what else real they could have.
The "benchmarks" ploy failed, too.
