口语节目地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/group/topic/831816The Kenyans' response to the mall attack showed deficiencies in professionalism and command-and-control capabilities.
Reports say some first responders to the mall attack were seen looting rather than rescuing victims. And there are complaints of disorganized rescue efforts and heavy-handed tactics that resulted in victims' deaths.
Analyst Vanda Felbab-Brown says those types of tactical and technical issues should be easy for U.S. trainers to fix.
"In some ways, figuring how you knock down the door is far easier than figuring how you get broad intelligence. And the fact that the Kenyans struggled even with this tactical a bit so much shows the real paucity of capacities despite our training so far."
For now, U.S. officials consider al-Shabab a regional threat with no real capacity to hit U.S. territory. However, memories of the 1998 U.S. embassy attacks in East Africa by al-Qaida - then also considered only a regional threat - are bolstering calls for closer attention and a strong - albeit low-key - U.S. response.肯方对商场袭击事件的回应表现出在专业性和指挥控制能力方面的不足。
报告指出，商场袭击事件的一些第一目击者与其说是在救人，更多的是在抢东西。针对无序救援、施救手法笨拙导致受害者死亡的现象也遭到诟病。
分析人士汪达尔•费尔巴布-布朗说，对美国的教员来说，这些战术技术问题可以被轻松弥补。
“从某种程度上来说，搞清楚如何破门而入比搞清楚如何能得到广泛的情报要简单得多。而肯方尽管接受美方培训至今，依然过分挣扎于这一战术问题的这一事实显示出其能力的极度缺乏。”
截止到目前，美国官方认为青年党只是一个区域威胁，还不具备袭击美国领土的实力。然而，1998年美国驻东非大使馆遭到基地组织的袭击——当时也被认为仅仅是一个区域威胁——这段记忆现在却增加了美方应给予密切关注以及低调但强有力回应的呼吁。
