Does it strike anyone else as odd that this coincides with the recent discussion as to whether Pakistan will allow the US in its borders to pursue Bin Laden and US asserting that it will do it if it wants to?

That very thought occurred to me. When did Pakistan announce this "deal" about US troops possibly going into Pakistan to hunt OBL and Zarahiwi? Oh, and before I forget...

Yeah, but my take is a little darker. They know our operators are on the way and this little contrived tragedy might serve to throw them off a little.

It won't, IMHO. What might satisfy us is what they'll never offer - OBL's body.
