Ilhan Omar Slammed U.S. Soldiers Involved in ‘Black Hawk Down’ Incident

The United States Army was the villain in the “Black Hawk Down” incident in Somalia, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., wrote in a 2017 Twitter post.

Omar, a Somali native elected to Congress last fall, was responding to a tweet that falsely described the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu as the worst terrorist attack in Somali history. The original tweet noted that 19 American soldiers were killed and 73 American soldiers were wounded.

“In his selective memory, [the writer] forgets to also mention the thousands of Somalis killed by the American forces that day! #NotTodaySatan,” Omar wrote while still a Minnesota state legislator.

Omar has repeatedly generated controversy, largely for anti-Semitic statements about Israel which employed old canards about Jewish power and money. House leaders forced her to apologize in February after she tweeted “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” referring to American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) alleged spending and its purported influence on American policy.

A few fringe characters have reacted to the Omar controversies by making threats against the congresswoman. Omar is an elected official, however, and her viewpoints remain a fair point for debate despite those hateful acts.

Ilhan Omar is pushing heavily that the US is to blame for all the wars and conflicts in the muslim world. That they are victims of the USA.

She’s a political activist for the muslim Brotherhood and should have never been elected.

We repeatedly miss the crucial thing when complaining about leftist politicians:

Majorities of Our Neighbors Voted Into Office Ilhan Omar Who Slammed U.S. Soldiers Involved in ‘Black Hawk Down’ Incident

Our problem isn't the politicians.

Interesting the tag she uses there indicating the usual muslim position that the USA is Satan.

Bush and clinton should never had our boys there. A coworker if mine had a nice scar across his throat from some of the scrap flying. Lots of unreported bravery out there.

Yes, I get that. But I see all people as individuals. I don’t feel comfortable killing another human being unless I, or someone for whom I’m responsible, is being attacked. And yes, if they are a combatant for an enemy in a declared war, they are an attacker.

Still fewer casualties than what her co-religionists did to New York 18 years ago.

My concern for Somalis’ well-being is still pegged at zero.

All Somalis need to be deported. They add nothing of value to this country. Huge mistake taking these people in.

You can’t repeat that enough times.

I get that mud people elected this swine to Congress.

But what idiot swore her in? As a muslim, she is an avowed enemy of the United States.

And her allegiance to Somalia is evident. She should be removed and sent to Gitmo.

“...when she shows up at the Capitol building, do they search her for explosive belts?”

You can bet that SHE doesn’t want to die. She wants YOU to die.

Omar is here exclusively as an enemy agent. The fact that she actually got elected into Congress should be a gigantic red flag to us all. The fact that Somalis living in MN have gone back to the ME to acquire terrorist training should also be a gigantic red flag. They are obviously a transplanted terrorist cell, not a bunch of people coming here to have a better life. Send them all back. If any of them gripes about that, point out that THEY created the atmosphere in their community to foster anti-American feelings.

There certainly weren’t a thousand Somalis killed by Americans THAT day.

"If Billy Jeff had allowed AC-130’s into the mix we could have really run up the score."

We Marines left in April 1993 and therefore were not there in August 1993 when the battle of Mogadishu happened. I will tell you that we had tanks, but no tank rounds. The only contribution from the M-60's (I don't recall having Abrahams there) during firefights was they looked scary and their mounted .50 cals.

I’m okay if the Christians stay. But all the Muslim Somalis need to be in Muslim countries.

That’s too kind and doesn’t do enough to discourage others.
