It's not a matter of choice as another poster put in military terms: the anvil and hammer. They've fallen back to positions repeatedly and are being pursued relentlessly and without mercy.
It's not about choice, it's about the situation on the ground and the Somali army's professional ability to pin down the enemy.
One quote by an Islamofascists declared the loss of their "children" a slaughter in the neighborhood of 1,000. The big Islamic hero is just a poorly trained teenager following the orders of his ultra fanatic leadership.
And they have led them to their ruin. Hopefully, they will also get the terrorists who were responsible for the Kenyan bombings. The Somalis seem awfully focused on that objective as well.
You don't think there is some of our folks working with our Somali allies do you? As the President once said, some things will never be told.
You can be sure that the effectiveness of this operation is one of them.
God bless our military serving all over the world.
"It's not about choice, it's about the situation on the ground and the Somali army's professional ability to pin down the enemy."
There is nothing professional about the Somali army. If ever there was a looooooser people, its the Somalis, followed very closely by Mohammedan Albanians, especially the ones in Kosovo and FYROM. The army that has pinned these maggots down is Ethiopian and they will positively enjoy wiping out the Islamists...assuming we let them do it and I trust we will.
"God bless our military serving all over the world."
In spades!
Amen. God bless our troops.
