Yes recce finished the job, but without the police/kdf etc, the toll may have even been higher.
Contain/Isolate my foot.
Innocent Kenyans are being slaughtered and you cannot storm the hostels??? Most of those Kenyans we probably slaughtered as the KDF and Police were busy containing and isolating.
This was not a hostage negotiation scenario. The terrorist were there to kill as many people as possible. Isolating/containing means what? Kill the ones you have? I am sure even the Al Shabaab murderous idiots did not expect such high numbers.
Even in the West, where they are very careful when dealing with hostage situations (not even terrorists), once a shot is fired all bets are off!!! Security forces storm the building immediately! No more planning!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
