#2 There is no jihad and no WoT or even an OCO. Obama tole the Muslim world that by not even mentioning it in Cairo. This is all a big misunderstanding which we now apologize for.

#3 There seem to be several stories of how he died. Other stories say he was shot in the head (i.e. murdered while not in combat).

There is some local speculation that he was executed for ~~using his brain~~ not wanting to be a martyr.

#7 ...asking federal officials for help in getting his body returned for burial.

The Federal Government didn't send his dumb ass to Somalia, why should they pay to have it returned?

#8 his Minneapolis group is looking into the death of the 17-year-old and asking federal officials for help in getting his body returned for burial. Let them go to Somalia & celebrate his admission into Paradise there, and bury him there. I'm sure they will be warmly received. And we won't have to let the non-citizens back in the country.
