It's only an isolated band of extremist. There is no "Muslim problem". Most Muslim nations are quite peaceful. See?

Bit of an update!
Target rich environment.
The only way Islamists can "fight" -- hide in the shadows and kill unsuspecting (and most often completely innocent) people with IEDs. Combat is out of the question.
They are on the right track. I wish our own leaders would give more thought to the value of border integrity, both here and abroad, as part of a solid war strategy.
"The Islamists say their retreat from advancing Ethiopian and Somali forces is tactical.." Must be using the same PR guys Murtha and the rest of the Dems are using.
Don't you know the Islamists brought stability to Somalia.
Islamist occupation which had brought a degree of stability to large areas of formerly lawless Somalia.
Nevermind the so called "stability" was built upon threats of decapitation, stonings, floggings and other violence but for the BBC that was some good 'ol stability.
Stability? formerly lawless?
Noose tightens on Somali Islamists
Life is so unfair.
HaPPy New Year!
I hope they learned the lesson of Iraq: kill 'em while you can or they're nothing but trouble later.
I guess the twittle britches at the BBC also would praise the stability of Iraq under Saddam. Except for the occassional dissenter's trip through a log chipper, or the gassing of the Kurdish, Iraq was a fairly stable place.
Thank goodness they are shuting it down. When I heard these murderers were heading toward Kenya I was sickened. Our Church supports kids at a Christian school there and I was terrified for them.
Good. They're recognized for the brutal, intolerant murderers that they are.
(Updated) NINA = No Irish ISLAMICS Need Apply
When you watch the movies and the bad guy has been disarmed,he always threatens to kill the good guy later. I always wondered why the good guy never took the threat seriously and killed he bad guy right on the spot.
Threats of insurgency cannot come true if there arent enough left alive to carry them out. Thats the only way to beat these terrorists. This isnt a civil prosecution of civilians. The se are hardened fighters who have taken off their uniforms and gone undercover. According to the Geneva convention a legal target.
This is how to wage war and we should learn from the Ethopians here:
1) Tell the enemy they are going to die for their crimes until they are all gone.
2) Use overwhelming, brutal force to do what you say. I like the pic of the Mi8 (big smile).
3) Give an ultimatum to lay down ALL weapons or die.
4) Go into Mogodishu with overwhelming force as in point #2 until all the bad guys are dead.
5) Seal the border so none escape. They either fully submit or fully die.
Kenya has been the victim of Islamist terrorism coming from this direction before. They would have been foolish to let these "refugees" over the border. These scum would have shown their gratitude to Kenya by butchering anyone who got in their way.
The BBC is greatly saddened. They're still waiting with baited breath for this "strategic withdrawal" to come to an end.
