#1 What the hell was Kenya doing putting an Al Qaeda man behind their back for us to kill?

#2 They've been there for well over a decade, OP.

Remember the 1998 attack on the US embassy in Nairobi? It was executed by an al Qaeda cell that had been planted there from Somalia in 1994-5.

Ditto the 2002 attack with shoulder launched missiles on an Israeli airliner flying out of Mombasa.

#3 "No such operation could have been planned with the knowledge of the Kenya police because that would be ~~conspiracy to murder~~ impossible to keep secret and thus doomed to failure."

#4 And there are no British tourist planes that land in Kenya that could have been shot down. Nosiree. Then the Guardian and their ilk could have a fit blaming the Americans for NOT killing terrorists when we knew they were there.
