Hey al queda suck my hairy balls

What's funny is that they (the American administration) keep allowing some Arab guys hiding in Afghan/Pakistan caves be the mouthpiece for Somalis and that's their justification for bombing that war-torn nation. This bombing campaign is just a ploy to make the Republicans seem as if they are protecting America when in reality, theyre selecting weak targets around the world that cant retaliate against the indiscriminate bombings of American bombers.

Barbara Starr / CNN w/ Pentagon Propaganda , one in the same . The Islamic Courts in Somalia is not Al Qaeda , if they are there at all , what one , two guys . The U.S. wants to over throw the Gov . bcs it wont cooperate w/ the U.S.

CNN doesn't question who's actually dying in the these air attacks , how many civilians , because , THEY DON'T CARE & not to mention what legal right does the U.S. have to bomb " suspected " persons , bizarre U.S. bombs " SUSPECTS " from sky , cnn thks its normal

Dobinhom, Somalia is not like your Arab countries, they don't send their kids straped with bombs to kill themselfs and their enemies. There are no suicide bombers in SOmalia because that is barbaric and idiotic. However, I support what the United States is doing in Somalia. Those people in Southern SOmalia are cruel, pathetic, and ruthless so they need some ass whoopingl.
