If they want to clean out Somolia, lets start with Minneapolis and Leesburg, VA!

Send Congress-thing Omar , make her a special envoy to Somalia,and she will sort it out in a pinch ( simply by killing all non Muslims in the country, including US personnel.)
Problem solved.( Heavy Sarc.)

"...calling the Islamist insurgency plaguing that country an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the US." Like an Islamic whore in Congress?

George H.W. Bush should have never intervened in 1992.
That’s how we ended up with enough Somalis that they could elect one of their own to OUR Congress.

Gotta feed the war machine.
Just three months with out an active conflict and half of DC would blow away.

"George H.W. Bush should have never intervened in 1992."
And Bubba complicated things when he half-assed the military component (Black Hawk Down, anyone?) - let's wait on the UN to help us....

The only thing we should be doing in Somalia is bombing the **** out of those savages until every single one of them has been turned into pink mist.
Trying to train them is a fools errand.

As well as advising on airstrikes and ground assaults, the Navy SEAL-led team's primary task is to train and build Somalia its own elite light infantry force. The US spent six years in Iraq and over a decade in Afghanistan training and building local infantry forces...when is this exercise in futility going to end?

Yeah!!! JUST WHAT WE NEED......
ANOTHER endless pit into which we pour money, lives of young men, and ruinous effort, all in the name of “fighting terrorism.”
YAY USA!!!!

My SIL spent the last year in Somalia. He confirmed it was, indeed, a shithole.

George H.W. Bush should have never intervened in 1992. He should have heeded the warning of Smith Hempstone, a veteran Africa hand who had served under President Reagan as a diplomat in the area: "if you liked Lebanon, you'll love Somalia."
To: BenLurkin
I thought we voted to get out of these sh*thole countries. Training locals on US machinery always backfires when they use that training against us. Hello? anyone home?
