Really a Battle?

[edit]

Was this attack really a battle? It seemed from all accounts that it was more of a raid to me. The ICU didn't put up much of a fight and there were no US casualties....were they even on the ground to fight them? -- Permafrost 03:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hmm seems Puntland forces were on the ground. Unfortunately no more info. I would support changing to Bargal raid --TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I think a raid would be more appropriate until better information can be obtained, if ever. -- Permafrost 11:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We'd have to ask the question, though, is this raid really notable? For comparison, there are tons of small raids like this that have happened in Iraq that don't have their own articles on Wikipedia, so it wouldn't be a matter of combating systemic bias. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 22:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, there is a point in that, except that raids in Iraq are very common due to the continuing presence of US forces there. In Somalia, the US has been rather touchy about intervening (as with any other African case since Somalia 1993) and may well be notable due to the targetting of suspects from the 1998 US embassy bombings in Kenya. There are other articles on raids that may or may not be notable going by your perspective. -- Permafrost 04:22, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
