File under: al-Shabaab

#1 Can moustache insults be far off?

#2 I hope the US Navy has sufficient intelligence to stage a blanket hit-and-run raid on al-Shabaab, preferably late at night. Kill several hundred of them, hit them from Kismayo to Puntland, return to ship and sail far, far away before daylight. Claim it was the Hand of God that smote them, not the US Navy.

#3 A TLAM will do a nice imitation of The Hand of God. Seems a shame to waste a perfectly good missile on a bunch of scurvy dogs like the Somalis, though. Better to catapault the plague-infested carcasses of dead cats over the parapets, methinks.

#4 The problem with plagues, nowadays, is they tend to spread wherever airplanes fly. Let's go with the TLAM, whatever that is.

#5 Let's go with the TLAM, whatever that is.

Sorry, nerdiness coming to the forefront again. TLAM would be your Tomahawk Land Attack Missile, a cruise missile that can be fired from submarines. Some of the Ohio class boats can carry about 150 of the little buggers.

#6 Hey, we're running a $2 trillion deficit here. 40mm Bofors and 105mm arty is much cheaper and a whole lot more satisfying. Plus rights for the video can bring in a large chunk of change.

#7 I hope they tear each other apart.
