US forces asserting aggression in Somalia AGAIN!

It is more of "lets take care of currant threat and we will think about rest later"... I personally don't think that this is correct way of doing things but I can understand that point of view...

Yes, that's probably the mentality that the US brought into Somalia, and it's a good point in that it pretty much highlights the perspective that has driven general foreign policy decisions that have been made especially of late. Point seconded...

The US suspected that their were Al-Qaeda member their so what they did is air strike them. Very stupid idea. Their wasn't enough hard evidence to support this in order for an airstrike. It has to be certain not suspect but certain that Al-Qaeda members were there before the airstrike was called. Instead the US recklessly called the airstrike and in so killed lot of civilians. Talk about the US bullying small defenceless countries. If it was the other way around Somalia airstriking the US on home soil due to suspected Al-Qaeda members and thus killing civilians. The US media will go on a frenzy saying that it was a attack from Somalia calling a war or terriosm and thus the US will issue a war. But if Al-Qaeda members were in China the US wouldn't airstrike China 100% sure. If did. Well China will go ape s#@t.

All right, this thread has gotten a bit off-track now away from the military aspects of the strike, and I confess that I played a part. But from now on keep analysis related to military issues as much as possible.

Found an article on GS of a second US airstrike in Somalia utilising a C-130 Gunship.
It's an anonym "official" making that statment and there's no comment from the US military on that.
