Not only did PM Gaas reaffirmed his original stand but he also spoke the world's language saying Sheikh Sharif's (Roseto) "hee haw" on Monday was misunderstood.We support Kenya's operation inside Somalia because they support, train and provide other military support to our troops to defeat al Shabaab and we are very grateful to Kenya," Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali said in an interview.
"But we have to understand one thing: Somalia has the lead, our military has the lead in all operations taking place inside Somalia," he said late on Wednesday.

And to be clear on who is towing whose line here is Reuters take on who between PM Gaas and Roseto retreated:
Not only did Roseto retreat but he also send an envoy for damage control to rescue his sorry behindSomalia's president cast doubt on his government's support for the incursion on Monday. On Wednesday, Mogadishu reiterated there was no deal with Kenya to send in its troops, but said the prime minister would now liaise with Nairobi.
The Somali government has so far stopped short of asking Kenyan troops to leave and the prime minister's comments show the authorities appear to accept the incursion, which has the backing of Western allies supporting the Mogadishu government.

p.s. I'm actually quit thrilled to hear the prime minister would liaise with Nairobi; the task of establishing a federal state for Kismaayo and that region in particular will after all be a Kablalax affair. The best of luck to PM Gaas, Mohamed Yusuf Haji Kenya's Minister for Defence, and the deputy speaker of the Kenyan parliament, Farah Maalim.
My boy has yet again done me proud
