An unidentified U.S. Navy nuclear submarine stationed in the Red Sea has joined the fight against international terrorism. On March 3, three Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched against a target in the Somalian town of Dobley, which straddles the border with Kenya. According to local mayor Ali Hussein, three civilians were wounded, a house damaged, and three cows and a donkey killed. The target of the attack, Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, a Kenyan who was allegedly involved in attack on Israeli tourists in Mombasa, Kenya in 2002, was not present. Nabhan is not even an identified terrorist. He is only on the FBI list for questioning in connection with the Mombasa attacks. Tomahawk cruise missiles cost $1.5 million each.

So, because a Kenyan national is suspected of being involved in an attack on Israelis in Kenya, the U.S. Navy is ordered to launch missiles against a town in Somalia where he is thought (wrongly) to be present. What is wrong with this picture?
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Tomahawk cruise missiles cost $1.5 million each. Very nice ROI.
One hellava a lot.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Link???
I typed the piece out of my print copy. It's possible that you'll find it on line if you google "The American Conservative," but my experience is that most of the articles in the current issue are not on line.

if you really want a link you can get it from a search engine quickly. American Conservative magazine has a web site. I think it is outrageous to fling a cruise missile into someone's home in Somalia. the villagers who had some among them killed & valuable animals as well killed are not going to be sympathetic. In itself this is terrorism to fling that missile into their village.
