Damn, We Missed

Well damn it. I guess we missed our targets in Somalia. Here's a nice little snippet: The strike was criticised by the European Commission, as well as the Arab League which claimed it had killed “many innocent victims” and demanded that Washington refrain from further attacks.

First off, we don't target civilians. I don't know how many times we've said that and have gone out of our way to prove that. Yes, when you do an airstrike, sometimes innocent people do die. We make amends for that. But if you are hiding a known Al-Qaeda agent, we won't quit until he/she is captured or dead. We don't care if they are in a nation that likes us or not. You can "demand" all you want, but the bottom line is that I would rather we "make more terrorists" by killing the known ones. It tends to make the new ones think twice before they try anything. It's better to hunt them down and kill or capture them because if we don't, they won't stop until we're dead.
