OT again. One of the nasty side effects of the political situation that Slick Willie has gotten us all into is that, even though I don't think we have a Wag the Dog scenario here, our enemies abroad can and will invoke it, claiming that this was not a justified retaliatory or pre-emptive strike, but merely a distraction for the American public. The fact that it's not true will not stop people overseas from believing it, particularly those who for whatever reasons are cynical or want to denigrate the motives for American actions. This is a seriously bad thing, because it still matters what the people of other countries think of us.
