Well put, armchair security consultants and analysts all over this thread!! “People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it.” ― Walter C. Langer

The goverment can end all these speculations by issuing one final and thorough statement. People been left guessing,filling their own puzzles and reaching conclusions that are not helpful to a society that intends to 'move on'.
Kenyans it seems are not satisfied by the'it's over' statement,esp not after being subjected to the horrifying ordeal and images for 4 days. They want to know how it became over.

Even if they issue 100 statements people will still want their theories to pass. There will be no difference. Now for those who are picking up pieces, when was the report on the JKIA fire to be out? Am more interested on the person who was arrested but escaped. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

When the Govt spokesman says the floors collapsed because of the heat 'due to fire lit by Al Shabaab' I think I error on the Al Shabaab side! If you have to lie, lie with style!! The issue here is - Is it true Al Shabaab tied hostages with explosives to pillars in the basement? I believe it is but looking at their twitter handle it seems they were unhappy their trap did not take out as many KDF as designed, why? Maybe simply because the KDF decided no hostage would make it out alive anyway so take out the attackers with their hostages and end any new calculated loss of life.. Actually according to the american experts being interviewed by some of their press, they say the intensity of the bombs and fire exchange could have brought down the roofs earlier Whose bombs? Al Shabaab were setting booby traps using small explosives and using hostages as traps to kill KDF. Kenyan security experts who've worked with KDF confirm use of heavy weaponry to sink Westgate. Boss, are Kenyans ready for the truth?

@Poundfoolish.....The military also have a special force (probably even better than RECCE) highly trained to deal with such a situation, i believe they are also better equipped. According to the media that was the squad that was deployed by KDF to "sanitize" the mall.

On a light note: If you live in Nairobi and upto now, none of your friends and relatives has called to find out if you were at Westgate and are safe, yet their Mpesa requests keep coming religiously, then you can make two disturbing conclusions; 1. They dont think Westgate is your class. 2. They dont know, or dont care where you live, as long as you Mpesa them! It should worry you even more if your own mother did not call in panic with words like 'Nyathina, inbe ne in Wesege kanyo?'. Dude, you are on your own! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

I have not seen many condemning the police. I believe that the NSIS is the body that is under attack and rightly so. They need to explain a few things; 1. Is it true that some foreigners who were being deported to Somalia escaped in the aftermath of JKIA fire? 2. Why was the JKIA fire incident treated so casually? 3. Did they act on the tip off provided by Sonko's Pakistani lady? 4. If they prepared reports, who did they share intelligence reports with?
