US says ICU not a terrorist group - I love the democrats!!

[FreedomOfSpeech-]

Just a few days after the Donkeys cleaned the white house elections, they're coming out shifting East African politics - For the last 7 months we've been hearing non stop how the ICU is an international terrorist group that has links to Al Qaeda - All this with the funding of milions to Kenya and Ethiopia to fight off Somali forces. Now that the house is controlled by the Donkeys, the elephants have to go back to playing war on their playstation

I'm a Republican but clearly we've focked up in the horn. Let the donkeys run away and let our pride remain in tact....biggest losers from this quote are the TFG and the Ethiopian government, who've been the puppets of US's evil deeds in the horn.




"for the first time an American official has urged a US policy shift on Somalia and disclosed that Washington has no evidence the UIC, long accused of supporting Al Qaeda is supporting international terrorism."

No plans to invade Somalia, says US
Fri Nov 10, 2006

By DAVID OCHAMI
A senior US officer commanding anti-terrorist forces from the Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) in Djibouti has opposed Sudan's mediation of the talks between Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) and suggested their transfer to a neutral venue like Geneva, Switzerland. Sudan is mediating the talks as chair of the Arab League to which Somalia also belongs. The last round of talks collapsed on November 2 over the TFG's demand for withdrawal of Ethiopia troops from Somalia and regional States demand for Kenya to co-chair the negotiations. And for the first time an American official has urged a US policy shift on Somalia and disclosed that Washington has no evidence the UIC, long accused of supporting Al Qaeda is supporting international terrorism. The US and its Ethiopian ally have accused UIC leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys and UIC commanders Adan Hashi Ayro and Sheikh Hassan Turki of links with Al Qaeda and sheltering masterminds of the 1998 and 2002 terrorist bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. He asked not to be named for security reasons in a press briefing in Nairobi yesterday but acknowledged that US forces are deployed in several East and Horn of Africa countries including Kenya's Garissa district where he said they are drilling wells in Ammuma division. And he acknowledged that US forces are deployed in the region and denied they harbour designs on Somalia but said Washington is concerned about the flow of arms into and military training in that country.

nowonder why hutus voted for democrats

[Kramer]

Since Democrats take control don't expect America to attack another country for 10yrs or so.
Plus the TGF is done and Ethiopia --cuz Democrats can't be fooled easily!

"He asked not to be named for security reasons in a press briefing in Nairobi"

Dont make sense. But even then...its the executive branch that decides the foreign policy not the legislative branch.

CAWAR,

it's ICU'S Time wether you like or not.


waryaa every one is changing shirts ee shaatiga badalo b4 it too late

[Alluring]

ICU won't last past 2008!

They will kill each other off. Like they did in the civil war,

"I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT"

"NO, I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT"

Since when can people who can't write their names, be President of a nation.

[muslim-man]

Alluring,

learned and cabable ICU'S ARE coming from everywhere on the globe, soon they will take charge to run things for the sheikhs where they lack expertise

[Cawar]

Muslim

I believe that...ICU with Indha Cadde and Aweis as their leaders are not going that far...they're doomed.

But if more moderate and less hard core qabilist like Sharif or other members become the leading voices..then they might have a chance in all of Somalia..

[muslim-man]

CAWAR, SO FAR I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING EXTREMIST OR TURN OFF ABOUT SHEIKH AWEYS OTHER THAN HATE ESPOUSED BY PEOPLE THAT ICU FOR QABIIL AND OTHER SELF FULLFILLING PROPAGANDAS. SHEIKH HASAN TURKI MAYBE, FORTUNATELY, HE AIN'T RUNNING THE SHOW FOR THE ICU

ICU are made up of ex-warlord fighters, who've all of a sudden found the 'light' and changed turbans for the love of their 'reigion'. As much as I dislike them, i am suporting them because they are the less of two evils. ICU will control all of Somalia and with the help of Eritreans from the North, they can capture Oganden too.


Here's what needs to go on in order for ICU to control oganden back.

First Eritrea needs to take its 250,000 man army and Hit Ethiopia from the North


Second, OLF, ONLF, ICU and other liberation groups who are in Somalia training with the ICU need to hit them from the south.


lastly, Mr. Issias Aforkie ( Eritrean president) needs to take his oppisition fighters inside Ethiopia ( who he has trained and funded) and orcastrate a simultaneous attack uppon Ethiopia. This will casue three fronts, One from the north (Eritrean troops), one from within (Ethiopian oppisition troops) and one from the south (Somali troops, OLF and ONLF)...this will devaste the American funded Ethiopian military...


Ethiopia has had three high ranking gernerals defect in the last three months, their troops are defecting by the hundreds every week and If Eritrea can strike Ethiopia while the Iron is hot, ICU will capture Oganden, Oromos will be in power over Ethiopia and Eritrea will take down the very same leaders they put into power over EThiopia and get their useless town of badme back.


This war that i predict will end in less than a year and addis ababa will fall within a year.....This is what will happen if the US dosen't enter in...ofcourse they won't since the donkeys are in power....

[Cawar]

"SO FAR"

Thats the key word...but I wonder how long will that "so far" last??

I wouldnt bet too much money on it.



Freedom

Dreaming is a tax free commodity...but almost every somali would love Ogadenya to be free.

[muslim-man]

war ma bacow baa tahay , why don't wish for the best and move on?

give somalis freedom, they will complain

give them anarchy, they will complain

give the middle ground, they will complain

maxaa rabtiin waa yaabe?

[Cawar]

@bacow...I thought you were talking about plastic bags or something..


What moving on..ninyahoww..this is whats wrong with being somali..if you disagree..then there must be something wrong with you..

I voice not only disagreement but concern too...and I am bacow??lloooool.


Anyways...if its either with us or against us kinda situation...no matter where your support lies...then I am against ICU sxb.
