Though US drones have been pounding southern Somali targets and the military is constantly expanding its role in launching attacks in the region, the US denies that it is playing any role in the Kenyan invasion.
“We have been providing our assistance in an overt way through the Kenya navy, army and air force for a long time, and we will continue. We are not in Somalia. Our support is through equipment,” US Ambassador Scott Gration insisted.
Still, it seems unlikely that Kenya invaded its neighbor without some consultation with the US, and it is unfathomable that US drones just happened to attack the port town of Kismayao right before Kenyan troops invaded.
The Kenyan military has been harshly criticized for its invasion, with human rights groups warning that it was making the humanitarian crisis even worse. Kenya’s Interior Minister insisted today that the military has no intention of “occupying” Somalia permanently.
Yeah yeah, sure sure and IF you'd be wont to believe Scott Gration, Kenya gots some prime acreage along the banks of Lake Victoria to sell you cheap. Even gots a really keen view of the Serengeti. Oh yeah.
Obama Administration is full of liars and usually incompetent liars starting with Obama.
Kenyan Army is following the footsteps of the Ethiopian army and will learn the lesson that it easy to get
into Somalia but getting out is a completely different matter. This invasion into Somalia is being funded
and coordinated by the Americans, who continue to believe that the rest of the world will continue to believe their bullshit.
That is not my finger in the jam jar.
I'm sleep walking.
And you are brain-dead if you believe me.
In the early 60s Kenyan army was at war with a ragtag group of Somalis known as SHIFTAS who were barefooted and poor.The Shiftas gave the Kenyan army a drubbing.Kenyan soldiers would abandon their arms and run from fighting. The army gave orders the deserters to be shot on sight if
they turn tail.Same will happen again as many join the forces due to joblessness and are not willing to die when they face death.Somalis by nature are very friendly people at the same time will not back away from a fight. Al Shabab are battle hardened, so lets wait and see the outcome.
