WHY Did the US Bomb Somalia?

This morning the Washington Post said, “In Mogadishu, the Somali capital, reports circulated that as many as 50 people, many of them civilians, were killed in the attack by a U.S. Air Force AC-130 gunship…Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman confirmed yesterday that a single airstrike occurred on Sunday, targeting 'what we believe to be principal al-Qaeda leadership.'" WaPo’s lead paragraph said: “Two days after the United States launched an airstrike against alleged al-Qaeda terrorists in southern Somalia, U.S. officials declined yesterday to provide details of who, or what, was hit.” US officials also declined to say WHY the US launched its airstrike. The United States launched an airstrike in Somalia against “alleged al-Qaeda terrorists” that killed many innocent civilians because President Bush is giving a speech tonight to whip up support for escalating his ego-war in Iraq. That’s WHY! Time was, when the crazy fascist in the White House Insane Asylum planned a speech to stoke up support for his war, Homeland Security would trot out a scare alert and Michael Chertoff would deliver a warning in his high-pitched girly voice about virtual terrorists planning a virtual attack. But Chertoff and his sky-is-falling hysteria got laughed off the stage. So now, Crazy George has bombed the shit out of Somalia in an attack on virtual terrorists four days before his speech to justify escalating the war in Iraq. Like a serial killer, the president’s atrocities are increasing in intensity and in wanton violence. Rest assured, this insane president will be shut down because his delusional escapades are causing voters to turn against his supporters. But it’s going to be very interesting to see how and who activates his Off switch.
