Islamic Madrassa Struck in the War on Terror

Kudos to Pakistan. Today an Islamic madrassa was struck and 70-80 suspected militants died, the Pakistani army says.

The intended target was al-Qaeda number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri. It has been reported that he escaped but that Pakistan has him contained within a 40-mile radius. This is good news because the Pakistani military predicts it is just a matter of time before they capture him. This is also good news for the Republican party, and we'll see whether they take advantage of it.

For those who doubt that these madrassas, usually labeled as religious training schools, don't harbor terrorists, you should read this. It is rumored that U.S. predator drones were involved in the attack as well.

The liberal conspiracy theorists are already at it, however, predicting a November surprise from Republicans, whom they feel have the capability to catch these guys and refuse to do so until it is politically expedient.

Conspiracy or no, the world will be a better place without nutjobs like al-Zawahiri.
