The United States launched a series of airstrikes on an al-Shabab training camp in Somalia Saturday, killing 150 militants and averting what a Pentagon official described as an “imminent threat” posed by the group to both U.S. and African Union troops stationed in the war-torn country.

They should have a JDAM “platoon feature” in which a group of missiles launched at slightly different times interlink and then coordinate, braking or diving so as to arrive on target at exactly the same time.
The better to prevent people from taking cover.

Has zero asked for a civilian death count yet?

This sounds preemptive. I thought preemptive was bad?

They probably did it because all the Islamic terrorist’s in the camp were demanding U.S. retirement benefits after having gone through American CIA training camps to learn their skills.

killing 150 militants Viet Nam style body counts designed to impress the masses?
I don’t see how they could come up with an accurate body count without BOOTS on the GROUND.
I suppose they could use satellite photos but even if they did I don’t see that it could give an accurate count.

500,000 Somalis would be better. 1,000,000 better still. Then we can deport all the Somalis that are here back to their own country.

Viet Nam style body counts designed to impress the masses? I'm glad someone noticed that besides me.
If I could be President for a week, I'd ask for the resignations of all general/flag officers that have not had a troop position in over 4 years. The damn Pentagon needs a serious flushing.

Every time this administration makes a press announcement concerning military action I have to say to myself; Hmmm, I wonder what this is all about, what is their agenda?
Very little is as it seems with these people.
