I dunno how you'll take the news given our government shutdown, but does it sound like good news?

You know the conspiracy theorists will be all over this because its helping Kenya.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Maybe the government shutdown was a ruse to make the terrorists think the US couldn't carry out such a raid on them?

^ But that would mean that the Tea Party played...into their hands....

Hmmmm....something fun could come out of this, if we know what we're doing.

The terrorist claimed victory over the raid in Somalia. They claim that they only lost one of their soldiers/warriors/terrorists and that the cowardly special forces turned tail and ran at the first sign of resistance.

Then again they would want to say that even if they lost 50+ men in the battle.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

It's a good training exercise.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

Shooting at other people with the intent to kill can not be described as "training."

Wait, so the Afghani Taliban was hiding out in Pakistan, and now the Pakistani Taliban is hiding out in Afghanistan? Did they do some cave swap or something?
