a new drone base in ethiopia is to monitor al shabab activities in Somalia. do you buy it? i don't buy it and it will further destabilize Somalia.

any military operation against Somali soil from Ethiopia will be considered an act of war from Ethiopia and i don't care who's behind it. the fact that Ethiopia allowed Americans to have a base inside its territory to wage war against its neighbor speaks volume and will only destabilize the region and create even further animosity between the two of us.

wow! Obama has become warmonger and has now taken america's dirty war to east Africa. not only will i vote against him, i will also campaign against him. and i hope he loses big time.

We've seen this episode, except this time it's drones instead of a military invasion. End results will be the same though, Al shabaab won't be defeated by it.

Drones are useless. Unless they are supplimenting a conventional army.

that's what i am saying. if Obama wanted to finish off al shabab and establish strong, central government in Somalia, he ought to help the TFG by all possible ways. but to have a drone base in a country that many Somalis, like me, see as their enemy doesn't do any good. it will only fail.
