Um . . . how many wars are we going to start?

The Associated Press reports that the US has conducted air strikes against Somalia.

U.S. helicopter gunships launched new attacks Tuesday against suspected al-Qaida members, a Somali official said, a day after American forces launched airstrikes in the first offensive in the African country since 18 U.S. troops were killed there in 1993.

The latest attacks killed at least 27 civilians in the town of Afmadow in southern Somalia, lawmaker Abdiqadir Daqane told The Associated Press.

And we are moving forces away from Afghanistan, where we already don’t have enough to support the war we started there.

The U.S. Central Command reassigned the [aircraft carrier] Eisenhower to Somalia last week from its mission supporting NATO-led forces in Afghanistan, said U.S. Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Charlie Brown in Bahrain, where the Navy's Fifth Fleet is based.
