Point is the UN is useless and, therefore, certain actions require our intervention.

Yeah, but since we're talking about Somalia, not Sudan, I believe Somalia is the only instance of the US being even more useless than the UN (yes, I know it was Clinton's fault).
I just would have thought that it is best not to back warlords - its a bad look. The UN seeks peace and protection (even if they do a bad job). According to the article, the US has a totally different (and really quite dubious) goal in Somalia.
And more to the point, dozens of times in the last 6 decades the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" has bitten the US govt in the ass, including Saddam.
