Kenyan jets bombed an al Shabaab rebel base in southern Somalia


Kenya is a democratic country in East Africa that has declared war on al Shabaab and al-Qaeda. When I visited Kenya in the mid 1960's, Kenya was a friend to the U.S. even as the British were slaughtering Massai tribesmen in the streets. Today we have a greater urgency to support Kenya with military assistance and manpower because they are fighting our enemies.
Unlike Afghanistan which is ruled by a drug dealer or Iraq which has consistently shown to be anti American, Kenya has proven to be pro American. Yet we send hundreds of thousands of troupes to Iraq and Afghanistan with billions of dollars in aid and only 105 troupes to all of Africa. Does loyalty to our friends have a color line and should it be swayed by politics and racism.
