#1 "its disasters in Iraq, "

Hmm completely crushing Al Qaeda after drawing them in, inflicting massive casualties, demoralizing their organzition, and ultimately destroying their credibility....

Disaster? Maybe for AlQ.

#3 Time to cut off aid. I think the USA provides 2/3 of the food aid for Somalia. By stealing a portion of that aid, that allows the support of a few hundred thousand gunmen. Cut off aid and the support those gunmen will evaporate. Let them use their bayonets and now idle time to turn the earth and raise their own food.

#4 The nation just topped a list of the world's most unstable countries

WoW! Who was the previous winner?

Otherwise this is agenda driven trash. There is no mention of the 2 de facto functioning and largely peaceful states occupying twothirds of what used to be Somalia. This is a description of the south where the UN is f%%king things up per usual.
