Cruise missile strikes is it too weak?

The problem not settled, so 911 could succeed. Maybe should have a critise chapter in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lynxlea (talk • contribs) 01:07, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bring Out Your Dead

The page on the US Embassy Bombings says 212 PEOPLE were killed at Nairobi, INCLUDING 12 Americans. This page says 224, INCLUDING 12 Americans. Having made a serious study of parallel errors in other contexts, my money is on there having been 212 killed in all; I could cite other instances in which a number like this has been swollen by having one component added twice. In other words, reporting too many is a more probable type of error than reporting too few. Still, I note this in the hope that someone with more ready access to first-hand sources will correct it and save me the trouble of digging. (I always say that. It hasn't happened yet, but hope springs eternal.)

Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower puts the death toll at 213 in Kenya, including 12 Americans, and 11 in Tanzania, for a total of 224. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.240.158.78 (talk) 18:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Condoleezza Rice on Daily Show

I'm not sure this belongs here:

Notable Misinformation
On November 1st 2011, Condoleezza Rice stated these attack were targeted against Iraq and as lending legitimacy for the Iraq War during her interview segment [25] on The Daily Show. No such attacks were launched at that time.

Also, this seems to have been posted in response (under the wrong subsection).

Does anyone else have an opinion on the suitability of this content for this article? KConWiki (talk) 04:09, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CW in al-Shifa

It would be great to use this article for information about the strikes and al-Shifa in particular. GAB^Hello! 01:44, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cruise missile strikes on Afghanistan and Sudan (August 1998) → Operation Infinite Reach – Operation Infinite Reach is the event's common name, and the current title is simply far too unwieldy and implausible for anyone to search. "Operation Infinite Reach" also has over three times the number of Google hits than "Cruise missile strikes on Afghanistan and Sudan," and over seven times the hits of the current title. In this case, WP:MILMOS#CODENAME may not be the best guide, since "Operation Infinite Reach" is far more widely used and the operation is very well-known and covered.

Support: current title is too vague. Also, as per Commonname, people interested in the operation, know it by its codename. DaltonCastle (talk) 21:44, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Article is overweighted/unbalanced by extensive POV coverage of perspectives of Western anti-war partisans, anti-Western activists, and sympathizers of Islamism. Not to mention a lot of pure (sourced) speculation about what was going on inside Clinton's head. The remedy would be adding balance with discussions of context on the place of this incident within the rise of Al Qaeda and more discussion of strategic considerations as apply to this incident.
