SOMALI MILITANTS POST PHOTO OF DEAD FRENCH SOLDIER

BY JASON STRAZIUSO AND ABDI GULED
ASSOCIATED PRESS


MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- In a gruesome display that included a taunt of France's president, Somali militants on Monday posted photos of what appeared to be a dead French soldier surrounded by weapons and gear.



Transported by helicopters, the French commandos attacked the al-Shabab position early Saturday in an attempt to free Allex. Le Drian said the government decided to stage the rescue a month ago, when Allex's location seemed to have settled down "in a spot accessible by the sea." U.S. military aircraft briefly entered Somali airspace to support the rescue operation, President Barack Obama said Sunday, but did not employ their weapons.

It would have been nice if Obama had ordered US fighter bombers to "enter Libyan airspace" and try to give the Americans trapped in Benghazi close air support. But, Obama has plans for Libya and that might have complicated things. Those trapped Americans would just have to go under the Obama bus too. They became "bumps in the road."

The wolves are circling the camp grounds. Nothing good, positive, righteous or life giving will come out of this scenario/situation. All it is, in my opinion, is the reaffirmation of the same Aggressor/Victim role that has been the unfortunate history of European, American and others interaction with "weaker" peoples of the planet. Frankly, I am tired of it and what Obama is doing is the icing on the poisoned cake.
I have learned that whenever a "face" that is associated with being downtrodden/abused is used in politics, look out because that "face" or the person behind the "face" is not what you associate said "face" to be.
Barack Hussein Obama as well as others are nothing more than window washers, mannequins and images without any substance to back them up. His "presence" in Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church was nothing more than a ploy to score political points and it is working as planned.
He and the others need to be ashamed of themselves for what they have done and I hold them personally responsible for the dreadful outcome of the affairs that they have so willfully orchestrated.

Why pick on Obama , Alif .
He is just carrying out the agreed American Geopolitical Strategy which was put together by the jihadist end of the Republican Party and expanded by arch Terrorist George Bush and his cohorts .
Do you want Obama to act undemocratically and like a bad President?

The hostage that they were trying to rescue was apparently killed. The entire rescue operation seems to have been a Chinese clusterfuck. The French left one of their own behind. Ain't that just froggy !

Behold the true military prowress of Hollande and Obama.

If Obama were to sit suddenly, George Soros would suffer fractures of his right ulna and radius bones.

Agreed to the latter, but it is one thing to not go as per "Plan A", and a complete other to fail miserably. I read an account of this raid earlier today. Not going to dig it up, but the mission was to rescue a hostage. That hostage was apparently killed in the 'rescue". While the frogs killed a bunch of bad guys, perhaps close to 2 dozen, they took casualties, and left behind one of their unit.

That was not Plan B. Nor Plan C. ;)

The hostage was a French intel guy held for over a year. 17 tangos dead. The hostage and one French commando KIA.

Which were the numbers I recalled. However, that is a fail by the French. They can kill 17 Somali scum any day of the week just by pushing a button or two. Its a propaganda win for the Somali's. Who also purged themselves of suspected informants after this raid.

Perhaps. The op plan lasts until contact with the enemy. Most missions aren't like Hollywood movies.

I served for 7. The last 3 with 5th SF. My wings are Master-Blaster. I know its not like the movies.

But I also know that there is a lot of room between absolute success and abject failure. The French failed. Just as we failed with the Black Hawk down incident. We won the attrition battle those two days. Which counted for nothing. Just as the French won the attrition battle. Counts for nothing.

One of the benifits of a financial clooapse in our country is that it will totally collapse yours as well, You will have to start paying for things that we provide for you like missle defense, and naval opperations,

Maybe we can even start charging you more for food, It is a shame to think that we are actually helping people in other countrys that dislike us so much. I can't think if a better form of thanks than to watch them scramble to try and save themselves.

The EU is far larger than your failing economy . You didn't actually know that , did you .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can stick your naval rowing boats wherever you choose . We do not need them .
We have sufficient nuclear subs patrolling to blow up the whole planet , though that is not our aim . But we don't need "you '
As for food . I cannot think of anything you produce that we need . Judging by your obesity and mental state .
We will make do with existing customers plus our "new" friends ---- India , China and Brazil .
Psst !!! We have your banks totally under our control . Do you know , how , and , why ? Of course you don't . It's not looking good for you -- 100 million in poverty , doubled ?

Donald is not to be taken seriously .
He is paid to agitate , hoping that he and his fellow travellers can worry gullible people to question the status quo .
He lost out totally over the Glock backed Black Uprising , Zimmerman , failure of the EU and the Presidential election .He is now wandering about , in a bit of a fog , desperately looking for a cause that might be worthwhile .

Now I am Obease?

Well you are right because of Germany and the conservative actions that they have taken the EU was once bigger than the US economy now?

Not so much in the world of facts and logic. Irony and Fantasy it still might be leading

http://earlywarn.blogspot.com/2012/02/us-vs-eu-gdp-growth.html

But you were right and I was wrong while we do send wheat to your country, oil is the big thing that you get from us.

You list of friends? Look like a list of people that will take advantage of you, but maybe on in the world of imagination.

And as far as you investments in our banks? if we become insolvent, that my friend is gone? poof, and that will trigger your own econmic collpase.

So while we do not need you, as our relations with Germany, the driving factor in EU success or failure, You do need us.

but then again that is in the real world, not in that of imagination and irony, is that right?

WE it is easy to explain we lost those 2 elections because we felt sorry for you, things were going along pretty well but we noticed that your people were killing themselves so fast because your economy sucked.

So we thought the we would try european socialism for a while to see if we could make it work. apparently 4 years was not enough, and we nned 4 more. Good news for you we can;t make it work here in the USA either but instead of killing ourselves, we are killing eachother!

So how is that for imagination!

Just pointing out the perspective that you ever so clever Hilly Billy people manage to completely miss .
US Geopolitical Strategy is not one jot different from Islam advancement plans .The only difference is that they seem to do it so much better .
Ergo , you support a White Jihadist movement dedicated to bringing God and baby Jesus to the Moslems through Invasion , Destabilisation and Drones . They just cut your throats . Seems reasonable .

The Royal Navy is a shadow of its former self. Britain tried to help France in Africa and couldn't get its transport aircraft off the ground.

60 some years of socialist policy has left it externally weak and troubled at home. They had major rioting for three days in several major cities and could not form the will to take back the streets.

Ha ha , You have not used that same post for a little time . But hiding it in a drawer for a few months hasn't changed it from being childish and factually nonsense .
Guess you have been elsewhere after your previous campaigns were laughed out by the general public .
A shame , but it's fear and gullibility that have always motivated you much more than Truth .
Away , jester . Go mix your potions for a more gullible audience .
