Military people, how do you feel about Somalia?

I look forward to Robstafarian's reply to Sarcastro's, er, "considered thinking".

For myself, I'm on p.284, Chapter VI "The Secretary and The Generals", of "The Chain Of Command" by Seymour Hersh.

I'm incredulous. I'm also reminded of Richard Nixon's observation of Rumsfeld during his (Nixon's) Presidency "He's a ruthless little bast*ard". It takes one to know one.

Anyway, just want you know that I can read.

BTW, isn't Africa a failed continent? (Dons Crash Helmet).

my opinion on somalia is that the country will pretty much implode in a few years. it already is nothing but a state of anarchy. honestly, i don't know if there is anything that can be done there except to tell them that future attacks or acts of piracy will be met with swift and immediate repsonse. no more telling the military to wait 3 or 4 days before taking their shots.

Well... if you are going to bring it up.

Were I the King of the US...

1. When I saw the video of them dragging that naked solider through the streets, dancing and laughing, that Village would not have a single living thing there, or a single building standing in 24 hours. I would bom then into rubble. I would show the pictures, and ask "Who is laughing now?" Yes, the World would rage, but they would do nothing but fear me.

2. Any Muslim Terrorist should be handled in the same way. Sewn into a pig skin, shot, creamated, mixed with bacon fat, and dumped in the Ocean. Its their idiot faith that says 70 virgins, it also says they burn in hell if unclean. You defeat the one with the other. We did it before, and it worked for years.

3. I'd send the leftists there to see how well "talking nice to them" works....

But, I never will be king... (someone will thank "God" for that I am sure...)

PS

I would gather the leaders of the Muslim faith around the world and say, you either stop this crap or I will.

The second another attack by radical islam happens in the US, your fault, my fault, no bodies fault, I nuke Mecca. No discussion, no warning, I will nuke Mecca. Now, quit teaching horse crap, and help us find and kill those who are using your religion to justify this crap.

That's good writing.
We'll see if it happens! It's probably started already ...

OH! Everyone look! Look! He's reading a book that someone else read so he can incorporate their opinion into his opinion!

Announcing that you're currently reading a book about a current crisis tells me 2 things:

1. You're a pretentious asshole, who in real conversation will actually quote said book if we were discussing this.

2. You don't actually have any self-formed opinions. Please leave now and never return, you puppet.

Then when all else fails he'll just try to get every country to route their trade ships to go a different route. Catering to the Somalians.

Back to the topic, though, a lot of what you said needs to be addressed and I plan to do it. If this thread becomes necro territory I'll just PM you quoting your post.

Oh please do. Please feed me and play my game.
