#3 Naw, just give it time. Aids and the fighting will turn this place into no mans land in short order. A lord of the flies in the making.

#4 The training camps are reported to be currently in the setting-up phase, Super Hose.

#5 I heard the same TW, I hope this is not another Afghan in the making.

If it is, it is another example of our failed policy in the war on terror. We need to be going after the money and the nations that are supporting it. Back to wanting to take out Teheran and the others that support and finance this stuff. We are just chasing this around the world, not dealing with it at the root level, and I don't mean poverty.

I know I sound like a broken record here, stuck in the loop. But this is destroying our freedoms here in the US. It won't be long and we will get used to airport security and the patriot act. I for one hope not and hate the Patriot act, I support it but I want it to go away soon. we need to bring an end to this.

Thanks for letting me rant.

#7 49 Pan, as you know Kismayo is down south towards the Kenyan border. Easy access from the frontier. A lot of the support is coming from that direction from sympathizers/ refugees/ UN camps.

#8 Agreed sinse. The very reason I advocate strategic bombing of Iranian and Kartoum governments, blockades of nations that support terrorism, and assinations of the mullas that preach terror.

Joe, and don't froget the UN money pouring through the camps.

#9 49 Pan, Bro, I know they (UN) hate Me.
I blew out a Birrkenstock, stepped on a pop-top,
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render,
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

#11 heavy artillery? What, some 155mm towed howitzers? 122mm towed guns? Heh.

Probably a single big 82mm mortar with a broken sight.

#12 A little "shock and awe" from a dozen Buffs would put the fear of the REAL GOD into these nutcases in a hurry. I'm just sorry we don't have a Teddy Roosevelt in the White House. The war against islamofascists would be over. The rest of the world would probably hate us, but how is that different from now?

#13 OP rather than carpet bombing it would be interesting to set up a Khe Sahn style outpost in the hinterland with about 12 Vulcan Phalanx units and strings of accelerometers in the bush an obliterate all comers. Hue City seems less desirable.

#14 #5's "Destroying our freedoms here in the US" - RIGHTWINGNEWS.com > Clinton accuses Bush of wanting to INSTITUTIONALIZE Abu Ghraib here in America [paraphrased]. IOW, to turn America into a Commie-style Police-Army State, NOT just a Nany State. ONCE AGAIN THE DEMOLEFT CRITICIZES WHAT IT SECRETLY DESIRES, PROCLAIMS TO HATE WHAT IT WANTS.
