On his watch we have the new Hamas-Israel conflict with Kerry-initiated peace talks going up in flames (thousand dead); Nigeria's Boko Haram elicits a First Lay's hashtag # BringBackOur Girls# while murdering Christian worshippers; Yemen disintegrates, Middle-East in utter turmoil: Syrian opposition, ISIS, and Gaza. (thousands dead); Muslim Terrorists in Libya thanks to "Benghazi-Clinton" are now in possession of Tripoli, Turkey goes Islamacist extreme, Putin gobbles up Crimea and now threatens to swallow Eastern Ukraine. China threatens its Asian neighbors and unprecedented border and humanitarian crises at home.
Now Somalia.
What gives?
I guess Blackhawk Down didn’t click with any of those lobotomized politicians .....
Wait, WHAAAT?!
I was on the last ship to leave that hell hole in ‘94, and we went BACK?!
Aside from anti-piracy ops, the only other Somalian operation I want to hear about is a repatriation drop.
It seems like we are just playing whack-a-mole with the terrorists.
“Somolia Spring”
Obama’s starting wars all over the place so he can help his rich friends in Haliburton!!!
We didn’t go back, we conducted an operation against the Al-Shabaab network.
And the Democrats said, “What a nice Chardonnay. I will have another glass.”
The Democrats have figured out how to steal money from military operations. There’s an election coming up and they need some campaign cash. Before November, we might be at war with the rest of the world.
These terrorists threaten a country called Kenya.
I’ll leave the rest to everyone’s conjecture....
Oh my.. The wind whispers Mogadishu..
Looks like our Special Ops folks have their hands full for the near future, until after the election at least.
Godspeed!!
We need to send AC130s to these areas with drones,,
Empty them, reload, empty them.. Uhhhh
suspect same
What ship were you on? Dh was there too...on the Essex.
Anti-Piracy opps?
Shouldn’t we clean out the White House first. It’s the most important thing that has been hijacked since the founding of our nation.
“Wait, WHAAAT?!
I was on the last ship to leave that hell hole in ‘94, and we went BACK?!
I remember calling Ted Kennedy’s office (my senator) back them and screaming for him to get our troops out of Somalia.
The only time I ever called a politician.

This is just reprisal for Al-Shabab attacking his fellow Kenyans a few days ago.
Don’t wish to sound like a defeatist. A question instead and perhaps this too appears defeatist. Would it not take an honest media not telling half truths to attain an educated population coupled with schools willing to teach the Declaration of Independence and Constitution and truthfulness and the value thereof to attain a population not defeated? Then the other side of the coin reads ... Sorry question does not have a generation of time to accomplish. Coin toss. Every time the coin lands on the edge but this time the coin did not roll away. Is what is and destiny appears set in the writing on the wall.
This is good. We need these Somalians relocated in the United States. Not only are they not productive citizens they are filling our jails. Why are we doing this to ourselves?
