#5 ARCLIGHT, 3dc, not napalm. Napalm only kills those in the immediate vicinity. If you're within three miles of a properly-organized ARCLIGHT strike, your brain turns to mush and leaks out your ruptured eardrums. Since the current BUFFS can't carry the load of the old "D" models, we'd need to use six instead of three. Fly 'em in a double-vee formation, and let 'em have at it. Go in with Marines later to make sure there's nothing left to haggle over, and no witnesses. Give the Puntland government 24 hours to surrender, or we'll do the same thing to their capital, Borasso. Then carry through if they don't. Threaten to do the same to any town where Al-Shabaab has even one member present, then stand back and watch the "fun".
