More US attacks in Somalia

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/08/world/main2335451.shtml

The US claims its attacks are based upon credible intelligence. However, US claims of credible intelligence are not always credible. You can be sure that even if some Al Qaeda members are killed that many innocent persons will be killed as collateral damage and that living family members will be prime candidates to be recruited for a Jihad. US and Ethiopian intervention in Somalia is likely to return Somalia to a state of anarchy as it was before the Islamic Courts created some stability. The Ethiopian invasion itself is a proxy ground force replacing US troops. The US public is not in a mood for more war casualties. US attacks depend upon a technology that their opponents cannot match.
