I like the audible "gulp" (at 0:20) before Mr. Engel begins speaking. Could this be the event or maybe its precursor to scare people into voting GOP?

I imagine that we do things like this every so often and it just so happens that we got caught this time. I can't see how this could be an effective October Surprise -- Sure, elements in the GOP might start shouting "terrorism" but by all accounts *we* were the aggressor here. There's probably much more to this story that hasn't yet come out, so I can't draw any conclusions.

Thank you media for spending 45 seconds on this pretty important story..."US Special operating with little regard to international borders" Now back to Sarah Palin's wardrobe

^agreed. I hadn't even heard about it until I saw it online and I've had the news on TV all day.

AP:

"We are taking matters into our own hands," the official told The Associated Press in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the political sensitivity of cross-border raids.

As if anyone still gives a fuck. If there were any consequences to suffer for such action, they would have suffered them years ago, or decades even. At this moment in time, it's just bad PR if you ask me.

So... conspiracy buffs said there would be a US attack and controversy just before the election.

We should watch what happens next...

Will this attack be really convenient leverage for the McCain campaign? Will Syria and or Iran retaliate? Will Bush need to declare a state of emergency and suspend the election?
...Stay tuned...

"and apparently NOW operating with little regard to international boundaries"

OH MY!! As if the United States hasn't been doing this for the past 60 years. When's the last time you heard of U.S. forces operating with high regard for international boundaries (or laws for that matter)? The U.S. military has a long and storied history of operating within foreign nations when it suited its "interests" and ignoring international law. This is not some new policy as media reporters would have you believe. It happens time and time again and never are we provided with the context of the last 100 times the U.S. did it.
