This whole situation in Somalia really strating to bug me. Soooooo transparent as a propaganda operation. Check out this "U.N." report
"U.N. Says Somalis Helped Hezbollah Fighters" by ROBERT F. WORTH
UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 14 — More than 700 Islamic militants from Somalia traveled to Lebanon in July to fight alongside Hezbollah in its war against Israel, a United Nations report says. The militia in Lebanon returned the favor by providing training and — through its patrons Iran and Syria — weapons to the Islamic alliance struggling for control of Somalia."
Yeah, let's chuck 'em all in together, boil 'em up, and fed corporate propaganda organs to keep the wars going.
Question: Why would Islamists in Somalia -- that US intel has linked to Al-CIA-Duh -- be cooperating with Shiites, who they view as infidels worse than us?
Why would ravenous murderous Shiites, who hate Sunnis, be helping Sunnis who hate them?
This stinks like Israeli propaganda, readers!
The report also says Iran sought to trade arms for uranium from Somalia to further its nuclear ambitions, though it does not say whether Iran succeeded.
The panel does not say how the information was obtained. But the members had access to information from the intelligence agencies of the Security Council’s 15 current members, including Britain, France, China, Russia and the United States.
The sources of the information remain unclear.
NOT TO ME! I know damn well who is behind these false charges!
Did we not just go through the "uranium from Africa" charge with Iraq?
Puuuhhh- leeeeeeze!
In addition to training some Somali militants, Hezbollah “arranged for additional support to be given” by Iran and Syria, including weapons, the report found.
Somali fighters also traveled to Syria to be trained in guerrilla warfare. The United Nations report is focused mostly on the increasingly volatile situation in Somalia, where Islamists took control of the capital, Mogadishu, in June from warlords backed by the United States.
That is our beloved murdering, raping warlords that got beat back!
The report also indicates that Iran appears to have sought help in its quest for uranium in Dusa Mareb, the hometown of Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, the leader of the Islamist alliance in Somalia, which is known as the Council of Islamic Courts.
Those claims, if proved, could worsen global tensions over Iran’s nuclear program. The report recommends that the Security Council blockade Somalia.
Hmmmmm. CUI BONO, readers?
Who would benefit from such a charge?
An official at the Israeli mission to the United Nations said he had not seen the report, and was not aware of any Somali fighters having taken part in the conflict with Hezbollah. The official asked not to be identified, citing diplomatic protocol.
Then why even talk to the Israeli? In fact, why bother bringing them up at all?
Unless that is where the leak came from? CUI BONO?
The Israeli claims "he had not seen the report." WTF?!
He's the guy who leaked this garbage!
The report is a sham. Whose interests does it serve?
Who is REALLY running this world?
Who remains untouched as they flagrantly violate UN resolutions -- thanks to vetoes from the United States?
Who now views action on Iran as the "only resort?"
Who really runs the U.N., for God's sake?
Donald Rumsfeld once compared the Iraqi insurgency to a fruit bowl.
Well, here is your Somali stew: Iran is the beef, Syria the carrots, Hezbollah the celery, Al-CIA-Duh the onion, Taliban the potato, and Somalia the stock.
Smells good... to STINKING WAR MONGERS!
