An AC-130 Spectre gunship carried out the strike. This large aircraft, modelled on the Hercules cargo plane, is stuffed with cannon and machine-guns. The AC-130 is designed to saturate a large area with gunfire, hitting every square yard in the target zone with multiple rounds.Heh, that is some aircraft. Fill it with water and it could extinguish forest fires covering whole mountains chains. Fill it with ammo and it is a veritable showerhead of death cleansing the Somalian plains. More at EU Referendum.
So this was the very opposite of a surgical strike. Anyone in the path of the gunship, which departed from the US military base at Camp Lemonier in Djibouti, would have been killed.

Well I have gotten to the place where I don't much give a rat's ass anymore myself.
Let Brazil or Venezuala take care of the next tsunami.
"they hate you for being powerful and despise you for being vulnerable."
PeterUK, once again, gets to the gritty.
I do not disagree, but the one part missing from that equation is...they hate us because they fear us.
Are we capable of engendering that emotion anymore, or, are we lost?
Terrye-- Sheeit, Venezuela just disbanded its freaking coast guard, never mind tsunamis...
