The Pentagon claims that a combined airstrike of US fighters and drones took out more than 150 Shebab terrorists at Camp Raso, Somalia according to AFP.
“We know they were going to be departing the camp and they posed an imminent threat to US and (African Union) forces,” [Captain Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman] said, noting that as many as 200 fighters had been using the camp.
The US military has a small and secretive presence in Somalia, with a defense official estimating the current number of American troops in the country on an advise-and-assist mission at 150.
This exceeds the total number of fighters who were killed in the entire US mission to Somalia since 2003. Davis claimed that the unit had just finished their training and that they planned to put that training to use against the small and secretive US presence in Somalia, estimated to be 150 US military advise-and-assist troops in the shit hole.

How the hell are we supposed to fit 150 names on one commemorative t-shirt?
At least 100 will be Muhammad something-so that should save some space.
Use small-ish print. (smile)
You don’t, just say “MORE SHYT HITS THE FAN”!!!
I thought schools were safe space no weapon zones.
My whole world view, Obama!
That reminds me of a song.

At least there will be plenty of parking available at the ten year reunion.
They got to skip straight to the martyrdom without doing any of the work. Sweet!

After some Iraqi city was taken by Isis several months ago there were news reports of a victory parade with hundreds of stolen HMMVs. I remember thinking at the time that would have been a great target
Another returns from the great unknown. Let’s have a warm welcome for a fellow with one of the greatest tags of all time: Herman J Messkit! {APPLAUSE}
I’ve been here everyday, just chime in when I have something to contribute to the discussion
Dammit. I am always confusing Herbert with his twin brother, Herman.
Do you mean Tommy Tentpeg
They could have survived the explosion if only they were wearing their reflective belts.
And were keeping their hands out of their pockets.
Was there anyone left to do a police call?
nah, they had to go and attend mandatory safety briefs.
Fortunately, all of their auto payments to the Jihadi Relief Drive were processed before this incident.
At least they weren’t walking on the grass.
Well, apparently the crossing guards weren’t properly trained. They didn’t stop traffic often enough and the kiddies all bunched up and the crossing. Too bad, so sad.
On the plus side though, as mentioned above, there will be plenty of parking available at the 10 year reunion.
“at the crossing…..”
Very efficient.
Nicely done.
150+ fleabags all over the place before they even graduated, they blow up SO FAST these days! ???
