In spite of the news media distancing the recent attack on a cruise ship off the coast of Somalia from global terrorism, intelligence experts believe this is just the latest operation initiated against the United States and the West by Al-Qaeda.
Recently a failed assassination attempt on the prime minister of Somalia, as well as the attempt to hijack a luxury American cruise ship, has intensified apprehension and fear that the shaky Somalian government is losing to Al-Qaeda and Wahhabi terror groups.
Three people were mortally wounded in a terrorist attack on the Prime Minister, Ali Mohamed Gedi,while he was visiting the war-torn capital of Mogadishu. He survived the deadly encounter which entailed an explosion set off near his convoy, according to security experts. Mr Gedi was merely visiting since his government is in quasi-exile in Jowhar. The danger in the Somali capital is so great that the transitional government must avoid setting up their headquarters there.
Since 2003, Somalia has witnessed the growth of a brutal network of Jihad with strong ties to Al-Qaeda. In fact, when the US forces faced a bloody battle in 1995 during what became known as the Black Hawk Down incident, it was Al-Qaeda joining with a local warlord who killed and wounded US special operations soldiers.

Obama is not at War with Islam so it dosn’t count.
Let’s apprehend the perps alive, and then torture them until they tell us who they are working for.

Against Maritime Law? So is piracy. Piracy will go on and on as long as our president keeps the "Come and get it" policy of no armed security.
I like Dennis Miller’s idea: since these guys want to be “pirates”, when we capture one we should amputate a leg and give him a peg.
Funny thread! I found myself laughing even though I should be outraged. This clown is so far in over his head, his toilet paper is purchased in China..
ROFLM AO: Who is this guy Allah?

THIS IS BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE AFTER
COULD RACE, COLOR OR RELIGION BE PLAYING A ROLE IN THE CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR TOWARD THE POOR, DESPERATE, MISUNDERSTOOD MUSLIM SOMALI PIRATES??
PERISH THE THOUGHT!!
Do you suppose someday Disneyland will have a “Pirates of the Horn of Africa” ride?
Now, now. Those Somali-Americans are contributing richly to American culture, as Muslims always have. I'm sure hundreds of them are lining up to serve as interpreters and CIA undercover agents as we speak. /S
