All of the speculation was good.  It was a face-saving attack, there were back channels and there was no loss of life.  I got a kick from an article in the NYT that portends that military and intellience officials were shocked at how accurate and powerful their missiles were.  I have a feeling that no one, except someone that doesn't see the really good intelligence, was surprised.
