Preditction: Obfuscation

CNN is reporting that a C130 gunship attacked a al Qaeda base in Somalia in the last 24 hours.

If the report is accurate then I fully support this move. Al Qaeda, it goes without saying, is a very dangerous organization bent on violently over throwing world order. This is what our military should be doing. I hope we got the bastards!

If there was any confirmed success (or a lack of confirmed failure) I predict this: George W. Bush will reference it in his speech Wednesday as he continues to tie the war he lost in Iraq with the U.S.'s continued struggle with violent, Islamic terrorism. Not that this requires a crystal ball or anything. It's what the administration has been doing for years.
