| Somali rebels push for 'endless war' |
| 2011-11-04 |
| [Daily Nation (Kenya)] Somalia's Shabaab rebels said Thursday they were building defences that would plunge Kenyan forces battling them into an "endless war." Kenyan soldiers and tanks pushed into Shabaab-controlled southern Somalia last month to fight the Orcs and similar vermin and curtail their ability to launch cross-border attacks. "The Shabaab mujahideen will defend Somalia, and will put Kenya into an endless war," the Al-Qaeda-linked rebels said in statement. "We will defeat you like the other major countries that have suffered when they attacked Somalia, you will see the consequences." Since Somalia spiralled into civil war in 1991, several foreign armies -- including US forces, UN peacekeepers and a 2006 Ethiopian invasion -- have failed to create stability in the anarchic nation. Kenya's army claims that Shabaab fighters have received three air deliveries of arms and ammunition this week, and have warned residents in 10 southern Somali towns to leave Shabaab-held areas ahead of an imminent attack. "We will soon deliver on disrupting that flow of arms, and we will ensure they are not effective," said Kenyan army front man, Major Emmanuel Chirchir, in a message posted on Twitter Thursday. |

| #1 Broadly speaking, "endless war" is historically how Muslim Govts-Societies fight their wars, i.e. until one side either surrenders or is destroyed. Lest we fergit, MAD/RADICAL MULLAHS > EITHER "ISLAM RULES, OR ELSE ISLAM IS DESTROYED". Ex-POTUS Dubya's so-called "LONG WAR". |
