#10 Bad situation that I fear will get worse. Mall is a tactical nightmare and I suspect most of the hostages are muzungu (white folk in Swahili). Mall is less than 10km from US Embassy and a big weekend hangout for expats. I hope the Kenyans call in some "expertise" to assist.

#11 Careful what you wish for Frank G - this AQ affiliate may be asking for air support.

#12 I hope the Kenyans call in some "expertise" to assist.

I'm starting to see a future where 'services' like this are privatized or outsourced by governments unable or unwilling to do the job themselves. Once upon a time, Uncle Sam might fill this niche, we don't seem to have the stones for it lately.

#13  I hope the Kenyans call in some "expertise" to assist.

Supposedly one agency is in place, but whose name I've conveniently forgotten. I think it begins with an 'M', though...

#15 Makes me wanna be Kenyan with a shed loada ammo, along with some profiling, veils and beards, anyone who looks like a skinny, thats wat I call sensible.

Sensible people carrying could at least curtail xome damage. Either the OWG asleep at the wheel, or their plan is working.
