I wonder how we can afford to do this? Money-wise we don't even put the war in our budget so it's obviously all on credit. Troop-wise the Generals have said we don't have enough troops to sustain anymore in Iraq, so do we have enough to attack Somalia too?

How many wars can we start all at once?

Iraq was such a HUGE fuck up. If we weren't in Iraq fighting Iraqis instead of Al Qaeda in Africa and Afghanistan, we could have kicked the terrorist's asses by now. God I hate Bush for putting us in this shit place we are stuck in right now.

We've already kicked a lot of terrorist behinds. Obviously the attack in Somalia required intelligence. We don't need to send in ground troops to make a hit. Clinton sent in ground troops back in the 90's & we all saw what happened. That's when we were labeled by Bin Laden, the "paper tigers". It was a C-130, a special opps air craft that made the hit. Also C-130's are used at home to fight forest fires. I doubt it cost that much money to take out a few bad guys.

I believe these types of attacks should come from the air. It doesn't put our troops in harms way & it's extremely effective, with proper intelligence.

But, if one single civilian was hit while eating dinner with the bad guys, here comes the media & probably you Samantha.
