Latest Mushy speak, from a couple of hours ago:

...[i]n an interview with CNN's Richard Quest at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Musharraf said he believed around five or six al Qaeda operatives were killed in the raid.

But he added that the attack was an unjustified violation of an agreement that Pakistani forces should handle operations against al Qaeda inside their own territory.

Pakistan summoned the U.S. ambassador to protest shortly after the attack.

"We were disappointed," Musharraf told CNN. "Intelligence is coordinated between our two countries, and there is cooperation on both sides at a strategic and tactical level. So it's a disappointment and we hope this is not to be repeated.

"But at the same time, while we are angry at the violation of sovereignty by the U.S., I am also angry at the violation of sovereignty by al Qaeda."

Musharraf - U.S. attack unjustified

Musharraf is playing this well -

For all we know, he was very very pleased. He probably must keep appearances up. Protest whenever Paki ground/airspace is violated to just keep his folks and the minions happy.
Meanwhile he hopes each time the US conducts an air strike in Paki land, some big wigs will have been blown up.
