Your view of the facts differs dramatically from the views of the CIA, the DoD Africa Command, the FBI and the US State Department. Somalia isn't "filled to the rafters with Al Qaeda." However, it could be soon, as the country's Islamists are being radicalized by the unbelievably unpopular Ethiopian occupation.
Right now, radical Islamists, a few of whom do have ties to Al Qaeda, represent the only credible alternative to the Ethiopian occupation. That needs to change or else you will see a terror state emerge in the southern part of the country, as well as in Mogadishu whenever the Ethiopians withdraw.

Hahahaha, yeah, paragons of the truth. Using the the State Department really made me laugh.

There's just no way of getting through to you, is there? First you talk about the ICU, I show you where al qaeda are members in that very court and you switch gears, again. Radical islamist with ties to al qaeda is a 'credible alternative' to the Ethiopian army? You got it bad, real bad.
