I doubt it will take a whole day before we start hearing about how evil the US is for killing innocent Somalis during the attack.

It’ll take them a while to get to that; they’re starting out with the Christians vs. Muslims ruse.

Somalia's government had struggled to survive since forming with backing from the United Nations two years ago, and was under attack by the Islamic militia when Ethiopia's military intervened on Dec. 24 and turned the tide.

But many in predominantly Muslim Somalia resent the presence of troops from neighboring Ethiopia, which has a large Christian population. The countries fought two brutal wars, the last in 1977.

On Sunday, gunmen attacked Ethiopian troops, witnesses said, sparking a firefight in the second straight day of violence in the capital, Mogadishu. U.S. Gunship Attacks al-Qaida in Somalia - AOL News

“Second straight day of violence”??? When was the last time there wasn’t violence in Mogadishu for two days straight?
