Story unfolding... AQ plot to attack JFK Airport, New York...
IMHO...which is quite humble.
We will have Soldiers in Iraq until at least 2023...if not 2043...and alternative date is 2028. Realistically it takes a society at least 40 years to recover from babarism. The Iran/Iraq war resulted in 1% of the combined populations being killed. No living person in the Western World can conceive of 1% of the population being killed.
Lots of healing to do.
CNN is reporting that a Navy destroyer conducted a fire mission into northern Somalia, targeting a "suspected al Qaeda operative believed to have been involved in the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania". From a later Reuters report on the story (which has not been confirmed by the U.S. military):
The destroyer's guns appeared to be targeting a single person, perhaps moving in a convoy, according to the report.If the story has any basis in fact, here's hoping they shot straight and true.
A Pentagon spokesman would not comment on the details of the CNN report.
"We recognize the importance of working closely with allies to seek out, identify, locate, capture, and if necessary, kill terrorist and those who would provide them safe haven," said spokesman Bryan Whitman.
"The very nature of some of our operations, as well as the success of those operations is often predicated on our ability to work quietly with our partners and allies."
Looks like some of us are starting early this year.
Who is this war hero?
