Thanks to Antiwar.com for the coverage -- I've barely seen this mentioned anywhere else; even Google News is burying it among the lesser headlines.

Following confirmation by the French military that they definitely weren’t in the process of invading Somalia, the United States military is now confirming that it is, in fact, American forces that are pouring into the southern portion of the country in a helicopter-backed invasion.

US military officials confirmed to the Associated Press today that forces from the US Joint Special Operations Command had invaded the lawless African nation, and were the ones responsible for the attack on the tiny village of Barawe this morning that was the first staging ground of the attack.

isn't the story of Kanye West the story of the day cause c'mon say it ain't so with this one.  I know that we in America have so many other things we'd rather be discussing and talking about.

Google News aggregates based on hits, so if something is kept quiet on their end only the readers are to blame, as Ryan suggested. This is not to say that MSM couldn't do a better job of coverage.

Invading other countries and renewing key elements of the Patriot Act in a single week? Obama wins the Dubya award...again. No surprise there.
