250 dead is a lot of terrorists, and my guess is that the helicopter was a trigger event for an operation against a full clan-based militia that may have been in the offing for some time. I am concerned about the sudden popularity of surface-to-air missiles. This parallels what we did against the Soviets in Afghanistan some thirty years ago now, and it would be good to know where these weapons came from. I have a very short list of suspects.
CNN says up to 300 dead terrorists in the operation.
France, China, Russia, North Korea; did I miss anybody?
Iran?

And I would hope the factories are leveled, as a example for those who would arm terrorist.
