U.S. Strikes Again in Somalia
by John Little on 24/01/2007But details are sparse:
The target of the second strike was unclear, but some officials indicated it was likely an al Qaeda operative. They would not say which day the strike occurred but it was this week.
A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment.
“We’re going to go after al Qaeda and the global war on terror, wherever it takes us,” said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman.
“The very nature of some of our operations are not conducive to public discussions and there will be times when there are activities and operations that I can talk to you about and there will be other times when I just won’t have anything for you,” he said. “I don’t have anything for you on Somalia.”
I’ve said all along that we’re probably much more active in that area than we acknowledge. I expect that, and the secrecy, to continue. But it is nice to hear that our hands aren’t completely tied by spineless politicians at home – that we still have men in the chain of command, up to and including the President, who are willing to take the fight to the enemy wherever that might lead.
