Extra! Extra!!! American gunboats off the cost of Somalia pounding "proponents of the religion of peace"

That’s right, as we speak, U.S. Gunboats and AC-130's (pictured right) are off the coast of Somalia pounding remnants of the al Qaeda forces that had previously taken Mogadishu.

And of course by “al Qaeda,” we mean “proponents of the religion of peace” and by “pounding” we mean…well, shelling them into submission (a/k/a DEATH), but since we don’t want to say “death” in front of the children or "proponents of the religion of peace," we prefer to use the more PC term “submission."

Hmmmm, just an errant thought, but since this ass-pounding has seemed to work so well (al Qaeda remnants in Somalia are now suing for peace), while our “peace-keeping” and “nation-building” efforts in Iraq have appeared to have stalled, maybe we should consider, uhhhh, maybe expanding the ass-kicking a bit.

U.S. Targeted al Qaeda Suspects in Somalia

"A U.S. gunship has conducted a strike against two suspected al Qaeda operatives in southern Somalia, but it was not known whether the mission was successful, U.S. news networks reported on Monday.

The U.S. Air Force plane, operated by the Special Operations Command, flew from its base in Djibouti to the southern tip of Somalia, where the al Qaeda suspects were believed to have fled from the capital Mogadishu, U.S. networks reported.

A Pentagon spokesman said he had no information on the reports.

The two suspected al Qaeda operatives were not named but CBS News said one was a suspect in the car bomb attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 and the other was the Islamist group's senior leader in East Africa.

The report said many bodies were seen on the ground after the attack by the AC-130 gunship, but the identities of the dead were not confirmed.

The al Qaeda suspects fled Mogadishu after Ethiopian troops invaded on December 28 and were tracked with unmanned aerial drones as they moved south, CBS said..."

NJ Congressman Supports Somali Jihad

It turns out that 9 term Congressman, Donald Payne (D-NJ) serving the 10th Congressional District (pictured left) opposes the Ethiopia’s assisting the Baidoa-based Transitional Federal Government in Somalia and helping route the Islamic forces there.

Apparently Rep Payne would prefer an Islamic state in Somalia, what al Qaeda’s called , “The southern garrison of al Qaeda.”

What else could he have meant when he said this;

“The invasion of Somalia by Ethiopian forces, despite claims of invitation by the weak Baidoa-based Transitional Federal Government, only leads to more suffering and instability in the Horn of Africa region. United Nations Security Council resolution 1725 clearly stated that "all Member States, in particular those in the region, should refrain from any action in contravention of the arms embargo and related measures."

“Using military force instead of negotiations is a deliberate and ill-advised measure that will further destabilize and increase the suffering of the Somali people. I strongly condemn this aggression and call for the immediate withdrawal of Ethiopian and all foreign forces from Somalia.“

The African Union and the Arab League have called for Ethiopian and all foreign troops to immediately leave Somalia. Unfortunately, the inaction by the United Nations Security Council has once again failed the helpless people of Somalia.”


Apparently Rep Payne fails to realize that America is NOT at war with “Terrorism” or al Qaeda, or even “radical Islam,” it’s very much at war with the global forces of Sharia-based Islam and those forces, wherever they are, are very much at war with us.

Moreover, besides the FACT that the UN had, through passing Resolution 1725, which forbade the Somali transitional government from buying arms to defend itself, as the world's Islamic nations illicitly smuggled weapons, troops, and funds to their throat slitting cohorts in order to impose the oppressive Sharia Law upon those Rep. Payne calls "the helpless people of Somalia".

And it’s not as though overwhelmingly Christian Ethiopia and Somalia’s Muslims have had much peace and stability recently as the Islamists have long called for a holy war (jihad) against Ethiopian troops in Baidoa.

What Americans like Rep Payne need to understand is what the Sharia-adhering Muslims already know, that while the West “Lives for life, we (the Muslims) live to die.”
