C&P from Times blog titled "Kenya Invades Somalia. Does It Get Any Dumber?"

"So what does Kenya think it's doing? On Sunday, a force estimated variously at a few hundred to 2,000 Kenyan soldiers crossed the border into Somalia into pursuit of militants from the Somali Islamist group, al-Shabab."

"Even if the occupiers can extract themselves from the literal quagmire, analysts unanimously agree they will find it all but impossible to avoid becoming militarily bogged down. Faced with al-Shabab's well-armed, experienced and more numerous guerrillas - fighters who two years ago saw off a far fiercer, better trained and bigger Ethiopian force - Kenya's soldiers seem headed for deadlock at best and, at worst, bloody defeat. What's worse, the Kenyan invasion seems likely to reunify al-Shabab just as it was in danger of splintering over disagreements about leadership and whether to accept aid to alleviate an ongoing famine in southern Somalia. It could even help restore al-Shabab's plummeting local support."

Well the responses from the article by Kenyans was so on point......and UNITED

normally and historically when a nation does such a bold move, it's usually after very careful thinking, good research and intelligence.

also, their is usually alot of information with the authorities (army and president's team) that is not known by we citizens.

I pray that for our country kenya, this was well thought out and will not cause any regrettable consequences.

ION, ati al-shabaab is a very small outfit 2500 men, didn't know that.

ION.. http://globalspin.blogs.time.com/2011/10/19/kenya-invades-somalia-does-it-get-any-dumber/ and the comments as well

Nice piece. They may be more than the kenyan troops but I don't suppose al shabaab has tanks and fighter jets.
Life is short. Live passionately.

And you actually believe their denial? Of course they must have been told beforehand. The denial is just for public consumption.

not only are they misleading the public as usual...

As americans they have spies within our spies so there must be a guy in the US state department who is updated on the progress of this operation more than even Ba Jim and RAO...

On second thought, I have read that dennis ole itumbi article over and over i can't see any necessity of china partaking in somalia... this operation smells like US & the CIA in particular..

i just hope it does not turn out results similar to the bay of pigs fiasco...

Of course the US was in the know and must be covertly supporting the military action.

definitely! They sometimes act like vigeugeu distancing themselves from actions they were part of. Under Bush, they pushed Kenya into allowing South Sudanese tanks to pass through Kenya. When Obama took power, they distanced themselves from the arms deal and left Kenya in an odd situation.

US planes join the bombing. Me thinks that the US has been part of the planning but have chosen to be in the background to avoid it looking like a Western invasion.

Why should we start by chasing the tail in Somalia when the head is right here in Kenya? Aren’t we in the process giving the head ample warning to take cover; also the time to plot some deadly retaliation on innocent Kenyans?
