| Al-qeda leader controls Somalia? |
| 07.01.06 (2:40 pm) [edit] |
Well, it appears that some radical arab who has ties to Al-qeda now controls Somalia?http://www.foxnews.com/story/...,2933,200866,00.html I guess the US is going to invade a few years or months from now. Becuase the US can allow Somalia to become a terrorist heaven. The hard-line Muslim leaders, who have seized control of much of southern Somalia, claimed authority throughout the country Thursday in another slap at the interim government, which sits powerless at its base in Baidoa, 90 miles from the chaotic capital of Mogadishu. Which was largely taken over in June by an umbrella group for the militias called the Islamic Courts Union, he urged its people to support the militants and said they were building an Islamic state in the Horn of Africa. http://abcnews.go.com/Interna...
Now, the Al-qeda Somili's are more dangerous to the Afgan or Iraqi Al-qeda's . Because Africa is disease striken land, if or when the Al-qeda Somili's come to America to attack, they could do more harm if they were infected with some kind of African disease and the worst part is these Al-qeda somili's would even know they have contracted some kind of virus. Ebola is found is africa, no known cure, and the incubation peroid is unknown once you acquired the disease. Flesh eating virus is also found in Africa. The reason why I say this is, I pretty much assume that terrorist won't be setting up terrorist training camps in the middle of Somili'a citys? Those terrorist training camps will some where in the most isolated part of Somilia, where those diseases are are more likely to be found. A US attack on Somila I would support becacuse of the immediate danger the Al-qeda Somili's present. However, they are some that is going to say well, Clinton should have never left Somilia, However at the time is was GOP members of congress who were pushing to get the troops out!
The following is from the Library of Congress records.
"THE REPUBLICAN POSITION (House of Representatives - October 20, 1993)
Mr. BUNNING. Mr. Speaker, on April 1, 1993, the Republican Policy Committee had this to say:
“U.S. military forces in Somalia have fulfilled the mission given them by President Bush. Republicans therefore call on President Clinton to bring our troops home.”
Mr. Speaker, we’re still waiting.
President Clinton chose to ignore our advice. Instead, he preferred to put our troops under U.N. command, and in real danger.
The mission has degenerated from humanitarian to humiliation,*** and it is past time for it to stop.
The President’s response is not sufficient. He should not keep our troops in harm’s way into next year without real justification and without a detailed strategy.
Republicans have been consistent in our opposition to a policy of troop commitment without focus.
I urge the President to heed our advice and bring our troops home now.
So let’s rewrite this Newsmax article just a wee.

Rep. John Murtha [Joined GOP Leaders In Urging] Somalia Pullout in ‘93
After terrorists attacked U.S. troops in Mogadishu, Somalia[,] 12 years ago, anti-Iraq war Democrat Rep. John Murtha [sided with Congressional Republicans in] urg[ing] then-President Clinton to begin a complete pullout of U.S. troops from the region.
Clinton took the advice of bowed to longstanding pressure from [Congressional GOP leaders, far-right Republican hawks such as Rep. Robert “B-1 Bob” Dornan (CA), and later others including Democrat John Murtha,] and ordered the withdrawal - a decision that Osama bin Laden would later [sort of] credit with emboldening his terrorist fighters [a bunch of terrorist fighters whose identity we’re not totally sure of,] and encouraging him to mount further attacks against the U.S." http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin...:31:./temp/~r103l1BF8M::
Therefore it was the GOP in 93 who wanted Clinton to get the troops out of Somilia, and it's the GOP of 2002 who wanted to invade Iraq. First they are against war, now they are for war?
If America does not gets it's priority inline, fighting wars with tax cuts, running a huge national debt. If Al-qeda is able keep there war on for years or decades. America is going to collaspe internally. Because of an internal economic collaspe because the economic policies of today will come back to hurt America in the future?
