The downfull of African "nations" into the hands of the communists and muslims began when the European nations granted "freedom" to their former colonies.
From what these former holdings have become it appears that the Europeans need to step back in and take control of their errant former possessions.
Much bloodshed would ensue and none of them have the stomachs for that!
It is just muslims doing what muslims do best...
Somolia is right next to Saudi Arabia. Hmmm, Random thought but If there's oil in Saudi Arabia why not in Somolia?
"In spite of the news media distancing the recent attack on a cruise ship off the coast of Somalia from global terrorism, intelligence experts believe this is just the latest operation initiated against the United States and the West by Al-Qaeda."The untrustworthiness of the Western news media is probably the single most dangerous threat to the world today.
If the people are not truthfully informed, they cannot make wise decisions.
The Western news media--and notably the American news media and its journalists--have failed miserably in their responsibility to inform the people and to their utter dishonor have allowed the news media to deteriorate into a mendacious propaganda machine.
--wonder how many times this will work--
Selective reporting.
Yes, the Left loves selective reporting. And selective law enforcement. And selective truthfulness (or mendacity).
"Terrorism Analysis: The Truth....."
........Islam is the Problem.
Only once.
I think the best thing for Americans to do is to stay home and spend their money here.
Exactly.
All those mosques that have been built in the United States within the past three or four decades are not just for holding bingo parties and reading the peaceful passages from the koran.
Al look in the basements would reveal arms and molotov cocktail assembly lines.
Our "democracy' hasn't the will to close these islamic centers down and move muslims into deportation centers.
We don't have the will to examine what islam is doing to influence segments of the gullible American population that join up and change their names to something like Tupak and Mohammad. They are our enemies as well!
Yours sounds like sound counsel. As the WOT progresses, things are going to be more dicey around the "globe", IME. Desperate, cornered gasps from the axis of evil are and will be more desperate than usual. Their funds, their usual "communications" modus are very much interrupted. At this point in time, the only way they can seem to communicate with their network and cells is through NEWS HEADLINES, and thereby triggering a known "operational understanding".
"...intelligence experts believe this is just the latest operation initiated against the United States and the West by Al-Qaeda."
Ya' think?
How similar is this to being killed? Are we just talking semantics here or is there a real difference?
.
The most interesting thing is the attack was carried out by open boats about 100 miles from shore. That type of boat, powered by two stroke gas outboard engines, just doesn't have a 200 mile range over open water. There had to be a base ship not far over the horizon directing the attack. This is a point the MSM has never brought up.
Worst of all, most of these attacks are entirely preventable. Several posters here have mentioned that many international shipping rules prevent civilian ships from arming themselves to repel such attacks. The US government should affirmatively encourage such arming and strongly pressure foreign governments to do the same. Then these attacks would be just about as rare as Texas, Tennessee, and Florida car jackings are, and for the same reason.
WOW,I never knew this type of technology existed...and I'm sure when they designed it in,they probably never thought they'd have to use it unless a bunch of Muslims attacked the ship, and what would be the probability of something like that happening?....I guess very high now....
Boating circles and magazines that feature private sailboat cruising are awash with warnings about pirates in these waters after sailors had a brush with them.
And we only hear from the ones who survive to tell the tale.
