How odd. Wasn't it one of the claims of these Somali Islamists that they were getting rid of piracy? Or was it because the pirates weren't giving them their cut?

We need to occupy Somalia's coastline and control it.

“So let me say this as clearly as I can: The United States is not, and will never be, at war with Islam.”
