#2 Why does a little voice tell me that in a couple of years, we'll have forgotten the great service the Kenyans are doing for the world, & we'll try to put some Kenyan general on trial at the Hague for "war crimes" (ie, abuses against Muslims that some newspaper makes up).

#3 Distraught residents? Hmmm. IIRC the Kenyans warned these residents that this was gonna happen a couple of days ago.

#4 So now the majority of Al Shabaab is all bottled up in Kismayu. Excellent, excellent, excellent. Now is the perfect time to demonstrate to the Muslim world what an ARCLIGHT strike does to our enemies. A single B-1 is supposed to be able to carry 80,000 pounds of iron bombs. Let's hit Kismayu with a dozen B-1s (or BUFFS, which can carry the same load) within a 30-minute timespan. Let the Kenyans go in after the last bomb explodes with bulldozers and level the place, then put up a WalMart. In six months, WalMart will OWN Somalia, lock, stock, and barrel. After that, it's THEIR problem. In the meantime, AssHat, Amadinnerjacket, Hamass and Hisblowhard will be shaking in their boots.

#5 Maybe test the Navy Rail Gun from the shore since they are bottled up?
