U.S. strike kills terrorist(They got him!)

U.S. forces found, targeted and killed in a Somali desert city the senior al Qaeda operative who masterminded the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa and had since spent a decade in hiding, The Washington Times has learned.

Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who is one of the FBI's most-wanted terrorists, was the target of a U.S. missile strike on a residence in Dobley, a small town in southern Somalia near the Kenyan border, according to a U.S. military official who spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity because of the nature of the operation.

Aideed died a long time ago.

Aideed died from gunshot wounds in August 1996 and was succeeded by his son Hussein. Osman Hassan Ali, Farah’s former right-hand man, emerged as a new force but in association with Ali Mahdi.

Most likely at the hands of D-boys.

Also General Garrison died a short time after Aideed. He went to the grave still carrying the weight of the Battle of Mogadishu on his soul all - albeit some what lighter knowing that his enemy went first.

Apparently safe and sound as the ops did not go. Mughniyeh was sent to the virgins before they could activate.

Though he would have been of huge use alive, his disappearing in smithereens of bits and pieces is so suitable for his religion of ..... “peace” - sorry pieces.

AHMADI-NEJAD THE TURD - read a refresher on what our future President will face.

Can you imagine our police, FBI or law enforcement of any kind being armed with specially made machetes as in the photo of the Basiji, Suppression Forces that swarm ruthlessly on any spark of dissent.

http://noiri.blogspot.com/2007/09/islamic-iran-islamic-regime-ahmadi.html

In the middle of our elections we tend to lose focus on our external enemies, when we face so many internally.

Iraq would have been a great place for an accident to happen to the turd. In many minds as bad or worse a person than Ossama bin Laden in the promotion of terrorism.

"They are plotting and planning all over the world to destabilize the world, to inflict terror, and where we find them, we are going to go after them," he said.

So what part of that statement do the Democrats not understand?

“Unfortunately Hezbollah made them [our extraction team] at Beirut Airport.”

Could we have been “made” on purpose so they would do the job for us, or is that too devious for our side?
