Somalia has recently become a pure Muslim country, it is 100 percent Islamic. And like all Islamic countries it has all the tradations of Islam, poverty, violence, no laws, no utilites, jobs, or industry. Islam brings its delightful customs child marriages, female circumcisions, rabid hatred toward Christians, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists and every other non-muslim, terrorism and support for terrorism and a virulent intolerance of other faiths. Somilia killed the people delivering food to them. The Islamic goverment of Somilia supports the Genocide in Sudan. The people of somilia are going to continue the Islamic tradation of killing each other, priacy, terrorism and starvation.

Going1Way: Obama is planning on helping his bro's, if he is elected he is going to sign a bill currently passed by the House and Senate called the UN Global Poverty Tax which will place a nearly $1 Trillion new Tax on Americans to fight Poverty in Africa. It is on his agenda. He also co-wrote the Bill, the bill is now on Bush's desk awaiting signature. Our wonderful media tells us nothing about this bi-partisan bill which will screw every American with a UN Tax. Also, ahead, A Global Warming Tax, and Healthcare for all illegal aliens. This is the "Change" he is talking about....Is this what you want, America??????

Report This! ARe you all really this ignorant? The Battle of Mogadishu in the 1990s wasn't a battle against insurgents or al-Qaida, it was a battle against a powerful warlord who was letting his people starve so he could stay in power. Hell, even in the inaccurate film, it calls the Somali fighters MILITIA, not INSURGENTS or TERRORISTS. You all really need to do your own research instead of looking at Hollywood's piece of propaganda.

Well, they did shoot down a copter and drug our dead rangers through the streets. And who the hell are you that you feel you have to defend them? Why don't you move over there and help them out. Doubt you'll be missed here.
