                        Pure speculation, but there is a base much, much closer to Somalia that just about anything in the inventory short of a B-2 can be staged from...we're talking driving distance to the border...

                        I figured that the strikes were from one of the carriers in the region.  Not a lot being made about it in the news, is there?

                        A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

                        I'm guessing AC-130U's out of Diego Garcia and AH-64D's out of Ethiopia.
