I read the news today, oh boy...
Not good news for those wishing for a speedy peaceful solution to this quagmire. Secy. of Defense Robert Gates spoke recently at the U.S. Marine Corps War College in Quantico VA where he spoke forcefully about the need to provide positive redirection for the young men of Somalia. "There is no purely military solution" he said.
If we do not dramitcaly scale up our efforts in the region the Marines will be called upon again, and our nations most precious treasure will be spent.
These are difficult times yes, but we have the resources to overcome them. We can not loose focus on where we want to be when we do.
