#2 Interesting timing of the release, 17 Oct. Appears to, by inference, highlight the "optimal" capability and reach which allegedly does not exist. Could we have a bit more on the capabilities which in fact, do exist ?

Note to planners: Keep in mind you'll not get a great deal of cooperation from Mugabe or Zuma. White faces aren't generally listened to by these lads. Yes, you remember Mugabe and Zuma. They are the ~~single~~ majority party, democratically elected gents that the west has helped fund and install over the past few decades. Weaver birds home to roost ?

#3 Liberia still has a lot of UN troops hanging around. Probably best not to mix them.
