More detailed info .. as we suspected, we've been 'on the job' for awhile. God bless our troops!
Yesterdays AC-130 strike was not the first time that American fixed-wing aircraft have swooped down over Somalia to deliver death blows to al Qaeda-allied Islamic Courts Union. Jibreel, speaking for the government of Somalia, confirmed that the U.S. planes and helicopters flying anonymously having been striking targets since the start of the Ethiopian surge against the ICU last month.
The Iceberg war. 90% of it is below the surface.
Miller : "Describe the situation when your men took down the American forces in Somalia. "- (Source: via Mia T of FreeRepublic, thanks)Osama bin Laden : "After our victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war.
They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier.
America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press after the Gulf War in which it destroyed the infrastructure and the milk and dairy industry that was vital for the infants and the children and the civilians and blew up dams which were necessary for the crops people grew to feed their families.
Proud of this destruction, America assumed the titles of world leader and master of the new world order.
After a few blows, it forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling itself world leader and master of the new world order, and its politicians realized that those titles were too big for them and that they were unworthy of them.
I was in Sudan when this happened. I was very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered, so was every Muslim...."Miller : "The American people, by and large, do not know the name bin Laden, but they soon likely will. Do you have a message for the American people?"
Osama bin Laden : "I say to them that they have put themselves at the mercy of a disloyal government, and this is most evident in Clinton's administration...."
And I thought DEBKA would be the 1st with the inside analysis...
Suprise.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
Somalia details PING!
The liberal news media is not distracted.
This afternoon, NPR focused on civilian casualties in Somalia and condemnations of the U.S. air strike.
The liberal news media is the de facto propaganda ministry of America's enemies.
Nothing like putting a horrendous dangling modifier into the very first line, Rich. I'm going to tell Stan on you.
Kill'em all.
The author asserts that we are targetting the U.S. Military. Either he doesn't know how to write or his credibility is highly suspect.
