Will the fact that US air strikes were an abject failure in their purported aim to kill al Qaeda suspects Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, Abu Taha al-Sudan and Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan get as much space in the American press as the strikes themselves? Probably not.
Will the suspect timing of the raids, less than forty eight hours before Bush's speech on Iraq and the "Global War on Terra" (G-Wart), be noted? Probably not.
Today's New York Times article merely notes that some very, very bad people were killed even though they were not the ones targeted. So "Mission Accomplished" then. (As far as I can tell this didn't make the front page - but a story about David Beckham's transfer to LA did.)
