I share your joy, mystery-ak! Our son called an hour ago and he hadn't heard the news yet. I know your son will be overjoyed too!

That sort of explains the outward determination of the Ethiopian military at the onset.

They showed no mercy and now we know why.

The Americans had the back door, trapping them, and also using a gunship with awesome firepower.

The President has always called it a 'GLOBAL' WOT.

Loved watching Puff clear the hills around Danang at night. No sound, just a finger of Hell appearing from the sky.

I thought it was the General in La after Katrina....his name escapes me at the moment...

LTG Russel Honore....who, by the way, is one of the most inspirational people that I have ever met. I heard him speak at a Veteran's Day event and he had the entire audience ready to charge Hamburger Hill.

Yeah, that does sort of cut down the possible cover stories. "It was a civilian AC-130 that just happened to be in the area carrying teddy bears for the kiddies of Mogadishu and what do you know? The guns just went off."

Happens all the time. Crew on long mission, ferrying teddy bears to needy children, bored out of their goards, spots fleeing militants on camelhump and just like the video games they played (Halo, etc.) a couple of years ago back home, opens fire and kills all just to watch them die.

I'd believe it in a heartbeat.

The Associated (with terrorists) Press is running a small squib on this. A bit more on the targets:

The same operatives are also believed responsible for a 2002 attack on Israeli tourists in Kenya and an attempt to shoot down an Israeli aircraft the same day, NBC News reported

The 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 250 people. The 2002 attack on an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya killed 15.

President Bush was clear on 9-11:

"We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts, and those who harbor them."

Geeze, way to go FoxNews. We strike bigtime terror muzzies in Somalia and they talk about Trump and Rump.

Happy New Year to you too mystery. And hubby and family as well.
