"Apart from the kingdom of the Lord there is not on this earth any nation that is superior to any other. Should it happen that a strong Government finds it may with impunity destroy a weak people...God and history will remember your judgement" ~ Haile Sellassie- Apppeal to the League Of Nations- June 1936~~
Yeah try telling that to George Bush Emperor Sellassie. Times have changed a little since 1936.
Yes folks, the frat boy and the bad perm lady have decided that they will give those Muslims a little taste of America's fourth of July celebrations just a little early. Oh we bombed the sh** out of those Somalians didn't we? Seems like we were looking for three -yes three- men who bombed our embassy in Tanzania back in 1998. You remember, the razorback was in the White House back then. So in the course of looking for these three men, we throw down some whup ass on a bunch of poor ass Somali villagers. According to the Somali government, who by the way, told the frat boy he could go a bombing in the first place, there was 31 people killed (including a four year old) and we are still not quite sure if we got these Al Qaeda operatives. You gotta love it, the nerve of some people. Do you think we would bomb Canada if we though a bunch of terrorist were hiding out in Toronto? Or do you think we would bomb Germany if we knew that a bunch of terrorist were hiding in Hamburg some damn place? Oh wait, we did suspect some terrorist were hiding out in Germany! No bombs huh? I didn't think so.
But it seems like that whole horn of Africa region is becoming a serious problem doesn't it? ( I told you so) Oh if the bad perm lady running the state department would only read my blog she would have seen these things coming. But noooo; the good Doctor with the shoe jones, is too stuck up the neo cons ass, and too busy looking out for the latest style shoes from Bottega Venetta, to notice what's really going on in the world. So here we go again! Bomb another poor useless Third World ass country, so that we can pound our chest and say that we are doing something about terrorism.
Cowboy George, I am not impressed. You want to impress me; go drop a couple of those bad boys on Iran, or North Korea. Now that would seriously impress me. But it ain't gonna happen, because everyone knows that we are a little preocccupied in a little place called Iraq right about now.
So what about this latest smack down that we initiated? Well, it seems the European Union condemmed it. It seems that U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned it, not to mention the Ethiopians, who are supposed to be our Christian allies in that part of the world. As it stands, the only ones who were for this little bombing excursion is the very fractured and unstable government sitting in Somalia. Seems they have a little Muslim problem themselves, and are locked in a fierce battle with some folks known as the UIC (Union for Islamic Courts) who have been playing musical chairs with them. Seems these UIC folks, is Africas version of the Taliban, and they are winning more hearts and minds in that region on a daily basis.
I sure hope it was worth it? And I sure hope we got those three-yes I said three-SOB's that bombed our embassies and committed other terrorist attacks. Cause if we didn't get em, we have just created yet another mess in that part of the world, and made the war on terror that much harder to fight.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, the U.S. is now switching the focus of the military and closing basis in places like Germany, and Korea. And in the meantime, expanding and opening basis in places like Uganda, Djibuti, and Senegal. Great, just what we need, the militarization by western forces on the African Continent. Happens every time; we couldn't bring you Africans food and drugs to fight AIDS, but we will bring your ass guns, bombs, and three fu%**#g warships instead!
Somalia's President, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, said the U.S. has his support, and the military says that they are going after Al Qaeda's point man in the region. Seems like a no brainer right? Except with the frat boy, it's never that simple. Just remember folks, there is a big speech tonight, and the frat boy has to put that war on terror front and center on our minds. We can't lose our focus now folks, because the moment we do, Al Qaeda will strike. That's why we have to strike them before they strike us. Because under all the bodies of those innocent women and children, there has got to be a terrorist somewhere.
The field is out.

It's amazing that President Bush thinks he has the resources to go to war with half of the Earth. Is he praying to the troop fairy? Where are the soliders going to come from? This is not like the WWII era, where the U.S. mobilized its own. A majority of the young people are unwilling to join the military. Some of them see Bush for the liar he is, while others wouldn't put themselves on the line even if it were a just cause. Most of our production is now overseas. If China and India ever decided to cut us off, we'd be screwed. Bush acts as if America can go at everything alone, but in reality we're too dependent on everyone else. He doesn't see reality, and he just keeps writing checks that America can't cash.
ReplyDeleteYo Field excellent post. Im not feeling them bombing for most of the reasons you outlined. But I do not like those ultra, nut conservative Islamic cats. They are complete and total fools. Bush is a real jerk, Im sitting her watching that fool on tv right now monday night 9:17 pm. He has no idea what his doing.
ReplyDeletehave you noticed how much this story is a non-event? i saw the front pages of 3 mainstream newspapers that day, no mention. in fact the only place i've seen this story mentioned was the guardian (uk), democracy now, & your blog. even the latest coup in Haiti got more coverage (& that's not saying much).
ReplyDeletebtw, the helicopter attack later killed 31, they don't know how many the ac130 (which uses cannons instead of guided missiles) killed.
Great Post. Our president has no idea what he's doing or even what he's trying to save face from anymore. Bombs away!
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, The three men, who were the target of some heavy shelling, were not killed. The logic of American diplomacy astounds me.
ReplyDeleteAmericas might, the best weaponry in it artillery, is used to target some camel-herding villagers South of Somalia, looking for three men. And the result? 71 people dead (34 at a wedding ceremony, including the bride and groom). What a remarkanle intelligence gathering!
