Breaking: US Troops Attack Somalia
Following confirmation by the French military that they definitely weren’t in the process of invading Somalia, the United States military is now confirming that it is, in fact, American forces that are pouring into the southern portion of the country in a helicopter-backed invasion
http://news.antiwar.com/2009/09/14/us-troops-attack-somalia/
and here is more than likely why...
Four American petroleum giants had agreements with the African nation before its civil war began. They could reap big rewards if peace is restored...
By Mark Fineman | Dateline: Mogadishu, Somalia
Far beneath the surface of the tragic drama of Somalia, four major U.S. oil companies are quietly sitting on a prospective fortune in exclusive concessions to explore and exploit tens of millions of acres of the Somali countryside.
That land, in the opinion of geologists and industry sources, could yield significant amounts of oil and natural gas if the U.S.-led military mission can restore peace to the impoverished East African nation.
According to documents obtained by The Times, nearly two-thirds of Somalia was allocated to the American oil giants Conoco, Amoco, Chevron and Phillips in the final years before Somalia's pro-U.S. President Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown and the nation plunged into chaos in January, 1991. Industry sources said the companies holding the rights to the most promising concessions are hoping that the Bush Administration's decision to send U.S. troops to safeguard aid shipments to Somalia will also help protect their multimillion-dollar investments there.
Officially, the Administration and the State Department insist that the U.S. military mission in Somalia is strictly humanitarian. Oil industry spokesmen dismissed as "absurd" and "nonsense" allegations by aid experts, veteran East Africa analysts and several prominent Somalis that President Bush, a former Texas oilman, was moved to act in Somalia, at least in part, by the U.S. corporate oil stake.
But corporate and scientific documents disclosed that the American companies are well positioned to pursue Somalia's most promising potential oil reserves the moment the nation is pacified. And the State Department and U.S. military officials acknowledge that one of those oil companies has done more than simply sit back and hope for pece.

Iraq was the first country to quit taking USD for oil and in less than one year we invaded them. And By God they take USD now.

And? The oil is still there. Think about it ; Big Oil has to keep oil flowing in order to maintain their control . So after Iraq then what? Yes Iraq is the second largest reserve in the World but after that oil peaks then it's on to the next country. They are securing there fortunes for the next 50+ years.
We won't go to war with Venezuela, unless of course the terrorist suddenly set up a training camp there. It's amazing how the "terrorist" are always in oil rich Countries What the saying "How did OUR oil get under there sand?"

Taken from New American Century January 26, 1998
Given the magnitude of the threat, the current policy, which depends for its success upon the steadfastness of our coalition partners and upon the cooperation of Saddam Hussein, is dangerously inadequate. The only acceptable strategy is one that eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction. In the near term, this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing. In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy.
We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your Administration's attention to implementing a strategy for removing Saddam's regime from power. This will require a full complement of diplomatic, political and military efforts. Although we are fully aware of the dangers and difficulties in implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far greater. We believe the U.S. has the authority under existing UN resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interests in the Gulf. In any case, American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council.
We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk.

hilarious

That's friggin hilarious, man.
The genius that inspires genocide.
I'm lovin' it.
Now I see why the media was
Now I see why the media was amped up about a few pirates protecting their own shores earlier this year.. Of course by doing that they were attacking foreign corporations that were stealing their natural resources. So we respond by hiring Blackwater to secure the cargo ships. Hmm
sound like Iraq all over , but hey thats change right? A new war different country.

We respond by supporting altrernatives to oil
I think you're right on about the media's spin on the pirates. I bet in Somalia, those were patriots fighting the real pirates, who claim to be doing it to sustain US.

You got that right.
And anyone doing it still under the impression it's the patriotic thing to do is being sorely misled. STOP KILLING AND MORE IMPORTANTLY BEING KILLED FOR THESE LYING STEALING BASTARDS.
Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow
would anyone be upset?
I wonder if we could get away with a scenario like this:
Take over Somalia with old-school empirical tactics, and I'm talking about just decimating the population...just obliterating them. And then, when the oil contracts get worked out, we could send our own, currently under-employed roughnecks from Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming to run the oil rigs, refineries, and transportation networks KBR/Halliburton style.
Wouldn't that be awesome?!
For crying out loud, if we're an empire, then let's be the best goddamned empire the world has ever known.

you know...im almost with you.
at this point - screw it. If we're going to bleed over there we may as enjoy some spoils.
There are other ways. Currently, we create blow back . . . .
and a fuedal facist authoritarian nightmare.
The other ways are simple. Get peoples back to their lands and farm.
One huge problem in America, is that almost all farmers are over 60 years old, with very few young people to become small family farmers. That's what's happening here, steal the oil, and steal the food production. It's happening here, right here in our own backyards.
You can help right here, go threaten a farmer, go snitch on a cannabis grower, no problem, you don't have to leave america, stay here and promote the Dept. of Homeland Security.
But I definately do not agree with the "giving up" attitude.

we're conflicted
We have two hearts. One heart is all soft and fuzzy and says war is wrong, and what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?
The other heart COMPLACENTLY submits to taxation and indulging in the military-medical-agricultural-corporate-industrial complex bullshit.
Some wise native American said something about being divided by two hearts...I'm not remembering exactly. But it's not wise.
Maybe we don't support the heart of the military-industrial complex intellectually, while safe in our armchairs, but we sure as hell don't smash the windows of cars with "support the troops" ribbons stickered on them. With our muscles and bones, we're 100% behind the military-industrial complex. Why not be honest about it consciously and subconsciously?
Dominate the Africans, tax the survivors, and look out for our own survival as a priority before attempting anything higher on Maslov's hierarchy of human needs.
You can enforce individual liberty at the barrel of a gun, if you've got the balls to live with the consequences. Guilt, shame, and so forth. But I think the beauty of our public parks and national parks justifies it.
If Africans want to be "living heritage" relics, that's cool. If they want to be pirates, to hell with them.
Agenda 21 will crush the environment. Mono crop farms are death
Your beautiful parks will be guarded by renta cops by the hoards, and protecting "plantation racism". You will not be allowed access to the beauty you cherise.
There are 143 more mountain tops awaiting to be decapitated.
The best farm lands and natural resources have been satillite mapped, and confiscated thru manipulation and tyranny.
For 35 years, I have watched natural beauty and all living things and creature disappear, along with culture.
Cows will over run the parklands. Agenda 21 is an environmental disaster. It will not protect the parks beauty.
Only the small family farmer is the true steward of the lands, and more productive.

Corporatism
rears its ugly head, once again in America.
here is a quote from the second article on antiwar.com
"But reportedly President Obama signed an “Execute Order” ten days ago calling for the military to kill the Kenyan at the first opportunity, and sources close to the situation say the US considers its attack a success since they recovered a body they think might be Nabhan’s."
so, obama right along with bush can use the al qaeda excuse to invade and kill people in sovereign countries before calling it a success because they happened to find a "body they think might be Nabhan's"?
when was it ever constitutional for the president to issue an executive order to do that in any country, much more disgusting, the sixth poorest on the planet?
Because he pledge allegiance to the UN.

Question - Why are US agents hunting someone "for years" over an attack in Kenya? Of course he's the mysterious 'al qaeda'!

Al-Qaeda Somalia suspect 'killed'
Profile: Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan
US forces have "likely killed" a top al-Qaeda suspect during a military raid in Somalia, US officials say.
They flew helicopters into Somalia and attacked a car they say was carrying Kenyan-born Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan.
US agents have been hunting Nabhan for years over attacks on a hotel and an Israeli airliner in Kenya in 2002.
It is believed he fled to Somalia after the attacks and was working with the al-Shabab group, which the Americans see as al-Qaeda's proxy in Somalia.
The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan, in the capital Mogadishu, says the raid has raised concern among Somalis.
They fear such attacks by foreign forces may help to fuel the extremism they are designed to combat, our correspondent says.
The US last launched a major strike in Somalia in May 2008, reportedly killing al-Shabab's military leader and at least 10 others.
The raid led to protests by villagers and critics say it had little effect on al-Shabab's capabilities.
French connection?
Analysts say Nabhan is one of the most senior leaders of al-Qaeda's East Africa cell.
US-based Somalia expert Andre le Sage told the BBC's Network Africa programme that his death, if confirmed, would severely hamper the network's ability to operate in the region.
Various media outlets have carried quotes from unnamed US officials confirming that the raid, on Monday afternoon, was carried out by US special forces targeting Nabhan.
A Somali minister told the BBC he also believed Nabhan had been killed.
Earlier reports had quoted witnesses as saying the troops wore uniforms with French insignia and had flown from a ship bearing a French flag.
But the French military strongly denied their forces were involved.
'Helicopter strike'
Somali sources told the BBC that six helicopters were involved in the attack on two vehicles in the southern coastal town of Barawe, which is controlled by al-Shabab.
FOREIGN FORCES IN SOMALIA
A US official was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying special forces had flown by helicopter from a US Navy ship and fired on a vehicle that they believed was carrying Nabhan.
He added that the body believed to be Nabhan's had been taken into custody.
Nabhan is suspected of bombing an Israeli-owned hotel in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, and trying to shoot down an Israeli airliner in 2002.
The authorities in Kenya also regard him as a suspect in two attacks on US embassies in the region in 1998.
The US and France both have troops stationed in neighbouring Djibouti.
During 2007 and 2008 the US carried out air strikes against Somali Islamist groups it accused of links to al-Qaeda - though this year such attacks have tailed off.
Monday's assault comes several weeks after a French security adviser held by militants in Mogadishu managed to get free. A colleague seized at the same time remains in captivity.
Somalia has not had a functioning central government since 1991.
Rival Islamist factions are battling forces loyal to the weak UN-backed government, which controls only small parts of the capital Mogadishu.
Al-Shabab are said to have links to al-Qaeda, and to have been reinforced with foreign fighters.

Foreign Helicopters 'Attack
Foreign Helicopters 'Attack Al Shabaab Insurgents'
Mogadishu — At least four people were killed Monday in southern Somalia after unknown foreign army helicopters attacked a vehicle, killing passengers on board, Radio Garowe reports.
...
"The helicopters unexpectedly touched down on the ground and opened fire...I saw four dead bodies," said a witness who did not wish to be named in print.
Sources close to Al Shabaab insurgents in Mogadishu tell Garowe Online that the insurgent group's official in charge of the regions, identified as Sheikh Hussein Ali Fidow, was among the dead.
Unconfirmed reports said foreign fighters were also killed in the attack, although such reports could not be independently verified.
