It has been reported for many days now that the US has been off the coast to support those fighting the Islamists. Nothing new really, just good that we are supporting the people that are pushing out the Islamo nuts!Now , we can do this in Iraq too.

Did Nancy Pelosi give her permission to do any of this?

If successful, most definitely.

Although, those 1000+ guys they took out with them were also substantial. The media never seems to mention that, and that they got the guys they were semt in to get. You just hear that 18 were killed and 75 wounded and that's it. But, if successful, this is big.

And, it's an example of stuff that W should be trumpeting. In recent weeks, we will have had this, a top Abu Sayyaf guy in the Phillipines, that top Taliban guy Osmani, Saddam, those two Pasdaran commanders captured(along with all their documents), the Islamic Courts routed in Somalia, etc...

But none of this has been publicized widely. If W would schedule a primetie address and tell the people all the good stufff that's going on, things would be a lot better. Instead, all we hear about is car bombs in BNaghdad and the failure of Iraqi sewage systems and job programs.

These AC 130s should be used a lot more, also. They sholud be out nonstop. If we only have a few, we should have produced many more. Having these things flying 24/7/365 taking out jihadists left in right, maybe a madrassa a day also, would be a good thing.

Pelosi must be livid with rage.

After all, doesn't a Queen trump a President?

Yes, important to trojan fans and especially to his family (may he RIP), but a national story its not.

And tomorrow we'll hear the caterwalling by the left about how many innocent children died in this unnecessary action.

I suspect that the US Naval buildup around Iran was a ruse to hit Somalia instead.

Last time I checked, we don't need three aircraft carrier battle groups to kill two terrorists with a helicopter gunship operating from a base already in the region.

Not certain as of yet.

We do have a Battleship off the Coast. I would suspect that if it is a Helicopter doing the attacks that we do have UAV's in the air.

I dunno if we have SOF on the ground yet. Really, no need. The Ethiopians are doing a fine job. Hell, we might have 'advisor's' on the ground.

At the very least we do have CSAR guys ready if any of the ships go done.
