What evidence do you have that a single terrorist was killed?

So many dead people were lying in the area. We do not know who is who, but the raid was a success.

interim government spokesman Abdirahman Dinari told AFP news agency about Monday's raids.
Did Matt choose to ignore this?

You aren't kidding.....I am just amazed at the constant whining and crying.
Either too many drugs or living in a fantasy world, that's my 2-cents.

In extra judicial killings that circumvent any and all justice systems, the burden of proof needs to be on the side of the organ doin' the killin'. Any smart citizen worthy of the title would demand that of his government.

I would want to know, but I sure as hell wouldn't be jumping to conclusions right off the bat as some have.

I agree. If this strike truly did wipe out people who were responsible for the embassy bombings, or who were actively planning more strikes, i think it is necessary. If it took out 1 suspected terrorist who may or may not have been involved in any attacks, and also killed mainly innocent civilians, i think it is a crime.

But we don't really know what happened. And that is the problem with these 'judge; jury, and executioner' type killings.

what exactly did our guys win? according to the most recent reports i've read, the details are sketchy, conflicting, and vague about who was killed or what was destroyed or even exactly what they were aiming for. and what was the justification for targeting members of the ICU (islamic courts union) anyway? so we don't know why the government is killing people but we DO know for certain it was justified and necessary? that one is hard for me to understand. and people wonder why the risk of terrorism is increasing, geez. maybe it has something to do with exactly whats happening in somalia right now.

Re: US strikes suspected AlQueda targets in Somalia

More strikes today:

New U.S strikes hit 4 places in Somalia


Is it fair to say another front in Africa has opened up. Afghanistan and Iraq with the 3rd being the horn of Africa, with Somalia as the prize.

For those not familiar with the important strategic location of Somalia on the Horn of Africa it is quite simple. He who controls somalia controls access to the red sea and the suez canal.

The U.S. was working with and acted upon with the Somalia government, which also happened to applaud the action.

Yep, here's another generalization Matt. It depends on the definition of terrorist, and how many "SUSPECTED " terrorists were killed.

I lost family in Vietnam yet I have no desire to seek revenge on them. I have family in IRaq, and thank god so far they are OK, but if they were hurt I would be angry but I doubt seriously I would want the government to seek revenge on Iraq for my loss.

The revenge factor pretty much places you on that same plain as we see the enemy on when it comes to getting even. Congratulations.
thanks i am proud of how i feel, AND my statement was more than just revenge for my friends....its revenge for the fact that that is where alqueda got its guts, thats where alqueda started to fuck with us mano to mano and that is where we as a country tucked tail and ran since it wasnt a social issue(read some books on that and get back with me in regards to the reasons we left somalia)

looks like you have issues with someone MANING UP in regards to our enemy

dont worry , there are plenty of MEN who will get the job done.....you just sit there and cast judgement it seems to be what you are good at

Re: US strikes suspected AlQueda targets in Somalia

The US strikes in Somalia is just again one of the evidences that USA has drifted to facism - and this conclusion has been made by very famous US analysts. This is exactly what Hitler did - to stike here and there as he liked ... with the purpose to govern the planet.
Bush created himself a necessary enemy and named it Al Qaeda - this was originally a group of islamist facists willing to join CIA's operations in many countries. Now Bush thinks that he has a right to attack to any place and just say that he is fighting against terrorists. This is complele bul...t.
Following his mania he wants to send moore troops to Iraq - how long the Americans accept this monkey to be in an important position?
