BTW, I found the sentence just before the one you cite (in the Reuter's report) to be just as interesting:

Yeah. In hindsight I should have included it. I took it to mean (assuming this report is true, which is questionable) that Musharraf wants our troops in there, but his government cannot publicly state as much. Makes sense with all the hardliners there.

We're talking about a matter of hours here.

Does everyone see how the news gets made here? Here we have it right in front of our eyes.

And all this comes on the heels of a report by an American commander that we will catch bin Laden by the end of the year.

This is how it gets done.
