If any of us think or believe that we can fight Terrorism in other countries to protect our own country, then we have just been introduced to WWIII. It will never happen. We will never conquer terrorism by going to other countries to fight them. The only chance we have in protecting our selves from terrorists is closing our borders. Shutting off the US from everyone else. Stop funding other countries, use our own oil and prepare to defend our own country from outsiders. Causing them to come after us by being in their country is what other Presidents in the past have stated. They encouraged us to keep our noses out of other countries business.
We have barrowed 44 million dollar's from "MEXICO". When your new baby is born tonight, his/her contibution to this administrations national deficiet will be $30,000.00 |

Bomb suspect likely not killed in Somalia strike
Mastermind of Africa attacks probably wasn’t there, U.S. sources tell NBC
NBC News and news services
Updated: 6:32 p.m. MT Jan 10, 2007
U.S. officials now say that the mastermind of the East Africa embassy bombings was not likely killed in Sunday's attacks in Somalia, and indeed was probably not even in the area when the attack took place.
Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, a Comoro Islander, is believed to be responsible for bothh the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, as well as a 2002 attack on an Israeli hotel in Mombasa, Kenya.
Mohammed allegedly planned the attacks on the embassies that killed 225 people.
He is also suspected of planning the car bombing of the Kenya beach resort hotel and the near simultaneous attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner in 2002. Ten Kenyans and three Israelis were killed in the blast at the hotel, 12 miles north of Mombasa. The missiles missed the airliner.
‘Not even in the neighborhood’
However, it is now believed that, as one U.S. official put it, he was “not even in the neighborhood” of the attacks. On Wednesday morning, Somali officials were quoting U.S. officials as saying the United States had killed him. Those officials now discount that likelihood.
As NBC News reported Tuesday, American officials continue to believe that Mohammed's superior, Abu Talha al-Sudani, the East African military commander for al-Qaida, was killed in the weekend assault by U.S. gunships, and that a local Somali al-Qaida leader, Aden Hashi Ayro, was at least severely wounded, if not killed.
Officials said a bloody passport containing Ayro's name, as well as a bloody shirt and a blood trail, were found at the scene, say US officials.
NBC reported Tuesday night that Mohammed was unlikely to have been killed in the attack.
Mohammed is thought to have been the main target of an American air attack on Sunday, Monday local time, on Badmadow island off southern Somalia.
U.S. attack helicopters also strafed suspected al-Qaida fighters in southern Somalia on Tuesday, witnesses said.
Abdirizak Hassan, the Somali president’s chief of staff, told The Associated Press that American airstrikes in Somalia would continue. “I know it happened yesterday; it will happen today and it will happen tomorrow,” he said.
It was the first overt military action by the United States in Somalia since it led a U.N. force that intervened in the 1990s in an effort to fight famine. The mission led to clashes between U.N. forces and Somali warlords, including the battle, chronicled in the book and movie “Black Hawk Down,” that killed 18 U.S. soldiers. |

Somali-U.S. relationship fraught with tension
East African nation has strategic value but bad memories for United States
MSNBC and NBC News
Updated: 5:22 p.m. MT Jan 9, 2007
For the United States, Somalia is a blemish on America’s record with nation-building and a reminder of carnage and failure that occurred more than a decade ago.
Somalia has had no firm central government since President Siad Barre was ousted in 1991. Barre, a military dictator, was overthrown when clan-based warlords removed him and then turned on each other.
In 1992, U.S. forces entered the East African nation as part of a large U.N. relief operation to end famine affecting thousands, stop the clan fighting and attempt to quell the power of warlord Mohamed Farah Aideed.
But the intervention only aggravated the fighting, and the next year, 18 U.S. servicemen were killed when Aideed's militiamen shot down two Black Hawk helicopters. Images of Somali gunmen dragging the Americans' bodies through the streets were broadcast worldwide, becoming an icon for opponents of U.S. involvement abroad and inspiring the book and film “Black Hawk Down.”
The gruesome situation, which also left hundreds of Somalis dead, prompted President Clinton to order the withdrawal of U.S. troops. He vowed to never deploy troops again unless there was a clear national interest.
Now, with radical Islamists’ interest in Somalia renewed, the U.S. has pledged $40 million in political, humanitarian and peacekeeping assistance to the nation of about 8.8 million people. The Horn of Africa country is in a strategic location, where the Red Sea opens into the Indian Ocean, and the U.S. wants to make sure international terrorists do not take advantage of Somalia’s chaos to establish safe haven.

I write my senator all the time. I say what I have to say. I want accountability of the funding for this troop surge. If they recieve 1.4 billion, I want to make sure the 1.4 billion goes where it is suppose to go. Not 2 million but 1.4 billion. I do not want Chaney, Rumfield (yes, I said Rumsfield) line their dirty pockets with over half as blood money. |

If you knew how powerful your constitution really is and how to work the power of it........... you would never have to pay taxes again on your property or your income. They have covered up the truth with years and years of laws piled on top of other laws to keep "YOU" from knowing your constitution. |
