I have always thought Kenya not Uganda should be fighting these buggers so this is very much overdue. If you go to places like South C, Eastleigh I think you know what I mean. We’ve imported a timebomb in sorts of ways.
Now that we’ve made the move, it’d be great if we had the following reality check:
• What are we going to do in Somalia? Is it to create a buffer zone, occupy parts of Somalia or vanquish the threat posed by al Shabaab? My preferred option is actually neither of the above but fo us to act in concert with TGF, Ug and others already in Mogadishu to squeeze the al Shabaab. Yani we push them towards Mogadishu, where TGF and the other dudes will be waiting to whip them.
• If we are going to create a buffer zone, how are we going to maintain it? I.e. are we going to end up having to occupy the said buffer zone for an infinite amount of time?
• War is expensive (the logistics of moving and maintaining soldiers and equipment tend to be costly as the gringo can tell you). We are already in deficit zone, we don’t make any weaponry apart from bullets so the expense MUST feature heavily when answering the question on our aims.
• Finally, I hope the soldiers can use this occasion to test out their professionalism, loose weight and pounds ze al shabaab to their 72 eagerly awaiting vigins.

Those shababas or shababus or whatever the want to call themselves, they can even call themselves shamamas should not be getting any sympathy in this forum. They are vermin that must be smothered and completely vanquished!

kwani hawa virgins hawakwishangi? from the IRAQ war to IRAN to Afghanistan na bado wako in plenty supply?

To @ Jaina-It is true the cost of war is usually huge. But I think Kenya did not choose to be in this war. And although these fellows are said to be faceless, I hear they are planning to show up in Afmadow. This is a good opportunity for Kenya to vanquish them. Wametuzoea sana.

i will not be entering any sky scrapper in Nairobi.
