"At Least Nine" Senior Al Qaida Operatives, Dozens of Lower Ranking Operatives, Killed by Peptic Distemper, Six Month Campaign of Targeted Predator Strikes, But Mostly Six Month Campaign of Targeted Predator Strikes

So much so it appears they're eating their own out of fear and peptic distemper.

An intense, six-month campaign of Predator strikes in Pakistan has taken such a toll on Al Qaeda that militants have begun turning violently on one another out of confusion and distrust, U.S. intelligence and counter-terrorism officials say.

This is what most counter-terrorism officials would call "successful".

Bill Saletan calls a pussy a pussy. And makes a moderate case for walkin the Predator tightrope as opposed to the Obama plan.

He's skeptical about the "eating their own" angle. Equally skeptical that there will be hundreds of suicide bombers who are my age, unleashing their greybearded furiousness. We'll see.

A Marine friend of mine told me once that killing a booger from 500 yards is better than from within a few feet.

I think the Marines are just efficient with that killin stuff. So maybe the CIA went to school on them.

Oh. Also. Monty,
