If the intel was good, then it's about time.

Iraq has taken too much away from the search for AlQueda, IMHO.

this was surely not about al qaeda or the war on terror or any other bullshit reason. the US has been trying to stabilize somalia with OUR warlord dictators for years and the ICU is currently fucking that up. why do we wish to stabilize somalia? well, we want their oil of course. apparently they have huge potential reserves with US oil compnies waiting to survey and drill. and it doesn't hurt that somalia is strategically located close to the red sea, the gulf of aden, etc. i can't stand it when an act of corporate imperialism is looked upon by educated people as doing something "good" or to ensure the safety of the world. can't you guys see through the shit screen?
