If they want to clean out Somolia, let’s start with Minneapolis and Leesburg, VA!

Meanwhile back in Minneapolis....

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?

[Lurkinanloomin]

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.

[eartick]

Gotta feed the war machine.

Just three months with out an active conflict and half of DC would blow away.

[Doogle]

...???...just give them all Uber licenses

[Lurker]

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?

[Vermont Lt]

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

[GreatRoad]

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?

[Seruzawa]

Lol. 700 years is more like it.

[Capt. Tom]

Somalia voted in Sharia law in 2009.
Somalia is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim like al-Qaeda.

I don' understand why the Somali citizens would want to oust al-Qaeda and support a Govt. of Infidel collaborators.

Muslims in Somalia have hatred of Christians on a scale of normal Jew hatred for most other Muslims.

When we get involved there ,IMHO, it is worse than getting involved in Afghanistan. - Tom

[onedoug]

Destroy world islam or it will certainly destroy us.

[Retvet]

My position on all the conflicts: If you’re not willing to go full out war then stay home. War can only be won by changing the culture of the opposition. That’s how we defeated Japan. Germany is starting to rise again. What will the future lead to in Europe?

[FLT-bird]

Get out. We have no business being in Somalia. Somalia is not vital to American national interests.

If anything, we should deport the vast majority of the Somalis we stupidly let in.

[Bayard]

Its not in the American interest at all, its just a conflict so that politicians can patronize certain military careers with combat deployments and offer contracts to military weapons suppliers.

Change my opinion.
