NAIROBI, Kenya — Somalia’s transitional government looks as if it is about to flatline. The Ethiopians who have been keeping it alive for two years say they are leaving the country, essentially pulling the plug.

well here is something that will solve it all

what a wonderful opportunity to set up an fact finding commission and to write awesome awesome speeches rock on

on the other hand, its wonderful to see how effective a unifying thought vs everything else is on calming the situation

[Soothesayer]

No hope.

Actually Obama is too busy writing his Presidential Memoirs with Bill Ayers to care.

These are doubtless the “interesting times” we were warned about. I am not such a masochist that I do not hope for a strong and wise Obama to emerge. That would be very helpful. However, with Clinton there to advise, I keep remembering the meaningless “attacks” in Sudan and Afghanistan of the Bill Clinton era. The Islamists expect such weakness IMO.

Ahh, a wonderful little crucible for the rest of the world to see how they will fare if these Islamonuts succeed - but then i must be dreaming to believe that it will get more than a scant article here or there in the MSM.

I’ve been watching “Shadow Force” on the history channel. These guys face nothing but opposition from the UN everywhere they go. This week the leader of the team was saying that the UN has made the military illegal in Liberia. Last week the UN refused to allow them to provision thier boat in Sierra Leone.

The UN’s an enemy of freedom. And we need to stop subsidizing enemies of freedom.

And speaking of the UN, wonder if any of the pirates’ ransome money is finding its way there...

[cripplecreek]

On Shadow force fear of the UN seizing their captured ships/pirates etc is one of their fears. After all, they’re a private security force that operates primarilly on bounties.

While I'm aware that there are many good people in Somalia (that might be overstating it, actually), perhaps it would be a good idea to unleash a nuclear weapon or two and just take out the entire country.
It would, or could, serve as a valuable lesson to the rest of the world what lies in wait when islam prevails.

Flush the toilet.....

Allow nature to take its course.

The UN is an abomination. It was created for the few and is now run by the turd world savages and their tired post colonial secularist funders.

ABOMINATION.

Thanks. Noticed the article about the CIA causing problems. AP report, so am not surprised at tone.
