The United States attacked a "known terrorist target" with precision missiles in southern Somalia on Monday, a U.S. military official said.The strike near Dhoobley, which is close to the Kenyan border, was aimed at a "facility where there were known terrorists" affiliated with East African al Qaeda operations, according to the official.
The strike destroyed two houses -- killing three women and three children, and wounding another 20 people -- Dhoobley's District Commissioner Ali Nur Ali Dherre told CNN. Dherre said the remains of the missiles were marked "US K."
I added in the italics. I'm just depressed about this.

Oh they love using that word -precision-
Truth is its a GPS guidance kit attached to a friggin bomb. Doesn't matter how precise it is if the areas populated. That thing hits and it sends out a shock wave that'll shatter concrete, kill anyone within 120 meter radius and send metal fragments and other debris as far as 1000 meters....and that's hoping the GPS doesn't malfunction and go way off target.
....this probably didn't help the depression........sorry, I suck.
Wow...you've made me more depressed, but that's such a trip. It kind of puts everything in an even more tragic perspective.
