And we have the following response from the Guardian.co.uk yesterday:

The Mogadishu Atrocity may provoke deeper US involvement in Somalia

And why is the US in the Horn of Africa to begin with?!? As reported at http://www.north-south.unibe.ch:

Located on the main shipping route for the transport of oil from the Persian Gulf to Europe and the United States, the Horn of Africa is considered one of the most strategically important regions in the world. In addition, distributed throughout the region are rich deposits of untapped natural resources, including petroleum, gold, salt, hydropower and natural gas. During the Cold War and in the years since, the region and its resources have been the object of intense interest and rivalry among the world’s major powers. Although the Horn of Africa is richly endowed with rivers, lakes, forests, livestock and high agricultural potential, it remains one of the poorest and most conflict-ridden corners of globe. Extended periods of drought, major floods, and internal conflicts fuelled by external interference have led to widespread devastation through war and famine

Simply put, the military troops of the Occupied, Unhinged, Surveilled States of Amerika, are in the Horn of Africa to ultimately control the shipping routes for oil, and to expropriate its natural resources, of which there are an embarrassment of riches.
