#3 Al-Q learned an important lesson in Iraq and is instituting that lesson now : when US makes an concerted effort in a country, they must flee or die. We killed thousands of Al-Q gunnies in Afghanistan and Iraq in the past couple of years, and Pakistan has truly joined the struggle. So now Al-Q has to flee to the failing states where they have some clout and infrastructure.

INTERVIEW-U.S. says Eritrea must stop Somalia meddlingBy Sue Pleming

WASHINGTON, June 8 (Reuters) - Eritrea is playing an unhelpful role in nearby Somalia and must cease its actions there if it wants better relations with Washington, the Obama administration's top diplomat for Africa said on Monday.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson pointed a finger at Eritrea for stoking hostilities in Somalia, whose government is battling militants.

"The role that Eritrea has played most recently has not been particularly helpful in helping to bring about a return to political stability and normalcy there (Somalia)," Carson said in an interview with Reuters.

He accused Eritrea of "aiding and abetting" the movement of arms into Somalia and of supporting the militant Islamist group al Shabaab and its leaders.

Somalia's government also has accused Eritrea of supporting Islamist militants with planeloads of AK-47 assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons.

Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki has denied the allegations, saying U.S. agents were spreading lies.
