U.S. Attacks Al Qaeda In Somalia

Targeting the 1998 Embassy bombers. "CBS: U.S. Attacks Al Qaeda In Somalia," from CBS, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

(CBS/AP) A U.S. Air Force gunship has conducted a strike against suspected members of al Qaeda in Somalia, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports exclusively.

The targets included the senior al Qaeda leader in East Africa and an al Qaeda operative wanted for his involvement in the 1998 bombings of two American embassies in Africa, Martin reports. Those terror attacks killed more than 200 people.

The AC-130 gunship is capable of firing thousands of rounds per second, and sources say a lot of bodies were seen on the ground after the strike, but there is as yet, no confirmation of the identities.

The gunship flew from its base in Dijibouti down to the southern tip of Somalia, Martin reports, where the al Qaeda operatives had fled after being chased out of the capital of Mogadishu by Ethiopian troops backed by the United States.

Once they started moving, the al Qaeda operatives became easier to track, and the U.S. military started preparing for an air strike, using unmanned aerial drones to keep them under surveillance and moving the aircraft carrier Eisenhower out of the Persian Gulf toward Somalia. But when the order was given, the mission was assigned to the AC-130 gunship operated by the U.S. Special Operations command.

If the attack got the operatives it was aimed at, reports Martin, it would deal a major blow to al Qaeda in East Africa.

If the American armed forces are to be employed, it is thus that they should be used. They should not be used to prevent one group of Muslims from having at another group, if both groups are equal, or nearly equal, in their essential hostiity to Infidels. No "reconstructing" of what was never constructed in the first place, no winning the unnwinnable hearts and minds (oh, some temporary cheering by the locals, as in Najaf when Moqtada al-Sadr's bezonians were beated about by the Marines, but that temporary cheering never lasts and never means what it would or could mean it were coming from non-Muslim throats), no making things good for "ordinary moms and dads." Just the AC-130 gunship, doing its damage, killing the enemy, making its point.

Yeah, pay back can be a bitch. The AC-130 is one bad ass platform. A killin' machine.

This is the kind of tactics we should always use. Come out of nowhere, devastate the enemy and then LEAVE.

Indeed, well done!

Marvelous! Job well done...

I have seen these things in action, first rate use of my tax dollars!!!

Well done?! I dont think so. I'm willing to bet that this was a half-assed operation and that the Pentagon lawyers fought tooth and nail against anything bigger. We should have attacked these scumbags much sooner and on a far greater scale.

What a pleasure it is to always read the comments on Mr. Spencer's site. I was rolling my eyes on reading the CBS postings from Muslims claiming no al Qaeda was there to a Clintonista having his shorts tied in knots if women and children were there.
This was an absolute perfect US military strike thanks to Don Rumsfeld protocols Mr. Gates has now inherited. There was no inter military rivalry of Navy versus some other command to get a whack at the objective. It was pure Special Ops on scene dealing out pure justice to the butchers of Mogadishu and bombing murderers of US embassies.
Salute!!!! God bless America and thank God that President Bush still is doing the job even though a majority of Americans voted against the protective work his administration is carrying out.
Man how refreshing! No fricking million dollar missiles killing camels just super Ma Duece spraying terrorists with Full Metal Jacket lead poisoning.

AC-130H and AC-130U, nicknamed "Spectre" and "Spooky":

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/ac-130.htm

One impressive piece of hardware.

USA should have bombed the shit out of the "Islamic courts" when they were out in the open and in power in Mogadishu. Sending in one airplane is too little too late.

Well done! Keep it up! No more indecisions! Iran, Pakistan and Chechnya are next!

Now we're talking, it's about time we see the US back the right side.

I hope that the US helps Ethiopia defend herself against the many hostile neighbours she faces.

This is definitely a good sign.

Niv

This is exactly the type of action needed. "Reach out and touch someone" as often as we can. The U.S. must reserve the right to attack and destroy our enemies anywhere and anytime. No need to worry about their sewers and electrical grid. Simply light 'em up and let the survivors wonder where the next meal is coming from. Repeat the process as needed. Our enemies should never have the opportunity to feel safe no matter where they hide. Pakistan and Europe included.

The only thing that would make me happier than this is if the Kenyans starting bobming them from the other side.

I can just picture those A-q bastards being ripped to shreds by all that machine gun fire and it makes me feel so good to know they suffered greatly. Cruel sounding? Yes-but that scum got exactly what they deserved. I hope the hyenas eat what's left of them.

This is a great help to the Etopians, l am sure they are thankful for these direct hits on the islamist monsters! Great for the US military, they are the best, and maybe iranians can worry a bit when they see how powerful from afar the US military can be. no fanfare, no appologies, just bomb the crap out of the islamofacists. kudos to these fine US military!

Bang a Gong -Get It On!

Claims that we bombed a wedding party in 5,4,3....

The AC-130 gunship is capable of firing thousands of rounds per second, and sources say a lot of bodies were seen on the ground after the strike, but there is as yet, no confirmation of the identities.

YESSSSS!!!!!! Touchdown!!!!!

What a pleasure it is to always read the comments on Mr. Spencer's site. I was rolling my eyes on reading the CBS postings from Muslims claiming no al Qaeda was there to a Clintonista having his shorts tied in knots if women and children were there.

Let's not forget the children at Beslan, ok? The MSM sure didn't make too much of a fuss of them and what these koranimals did to them! And the children of Israel who are under constant jihadist threat!!

As long as these monsters wage war the way they do.. so must we. Taking higher ground will only get you killed.

Literally.


PS. Every one of these beasts that were killed today represents countless of innocent lives SAVED since these monsters have been dispatched and won't be around to hurt anyone else any longer.

How come noone ever mentions the fact that each and every jihadist we kill means safer lives for all the innocent bystanders world-wide?!

Recall that it was this very same type of aircraft/weapon that US Army requested during the "blackhawk down" fiasco. The person assuming the title and authority of "Commander in Chief" refused the request. Had the Spectre been dispatched then - and only just one Spectre flying orbit for a few days - is all that would have stopped that uncessary waste - there would very likely not have been the shameful and useless sacrifice of US personnel.
And now -with the dhimmicrats taking control again - hopefully the Bush admin, with their short time left, will stop failing to pull the trigger when the enemy is in the crosshairs.

I don't want to read the maudlin comments from anybody about the possibility that "innocent civilians" have been killed. Please don't bore us, especially me, with your faux sentimentality.

Next up ...

My favorite AC130 video. From Afghanistan:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cPAv5RWhvE

The AC-130 gunship is capable of firing thousands of rounds per second..."

I clicked on the link supplied by MarisolJW and found the firing capability is actually close to 2000 rounds per minute. (But hey...who's counting rounds when you can count the resultant corpses).

Good! Finally some good news!
That is the only language those fanaticized barbarians understand.

Keep shooting!


No sense stopping there........

Some people pay to ride in the space shuttle. I'll take the AC130 gunship any day..belly up boys they are on me!

PS. Every one of these beasts that were killed today represents countless of innocent lives SAVED since these monsters have been dispatched and won't be around to hurt anyone else any longer.

Excellent point, MeanieMo.

When I was a young Air Force wife, many years ago, I had a husband who was a member of the 16th SOS (Special Operations Squadron) and he was a crew member on the AC-130 Gunship. It was his squadron that did a little damage when the medical students were evacuated from Granada back in October 1983. One of my good friends was the AC (aircraft commander) on one of those gunships and I remember spending a Saturday night not long after that mission over at his house with several other friends and while he drank a glass of Wild Turkey, he went through a magazine (I think it was TIME) and pointed to all the buildings that he and his crew had taken out. "We hit that one, and that one, and oh, yeah, we took out that one." If you will recall, Granada was liberated in, like, five minutes, thanks to our military guys and that delightful little thing called a gunship.

Oh yeah, and the squadron patch was really kickin' back then.

soory O/T,

remember bush wanting to over haul social security,cause its gunna run out of money?heres a secret he tried to keep,took these people 3 yrs to get the info on it.

We owe Ethiopia a BIG debt! They have been turning up all kinds of "interesting" Al Q people and documents, seems they know how to deal with the "religion of peace" and despite Ethiopia's past alliances, we should support them now. As others have stated already, the more of the Al Q nutjobs who never leave that battlefield the better for the rest of the world.

He KNOWS better - he's appeasing his Sowdi friends.
Shameful if you ask me! Butbetter he talks out of both sides of his mouth and still allows the Special Forces to take out AQ in Somalia. If only they'd be unchained to do a more complete job!

One thing about warfare from now on will be to do it BEFORE the "journalists" get their "boots on the ground".

Never let them know where we will strike!!

Strike mercilessly and HARD before the MSM and the "human rights groups" get in there!!

All in all this has been a good day from my P.O.V.
The terrorist in Germany got the Max.. though the Max should be more like 50-life IMHO.. the NY jihadist got 30 and we killed loads of them in Somalia today.

I really like the idea of a division of Halliburton, or Goldman Sachs, or Exxon-Mobil morphing into Ethiopia’s Secretary of Commerce. Our newest Ally could get some payback for the Arab slave trade, assisted by American air-power. Call it reparations, in the form of repossessing oil resources-a 'second emancipation'. A percentage of the revenues could be distributed, Alaska-style, to the Ethiopian population. The West would have a reliable source of oil. Other than CAIR, who would object?

On the Social Security O/T; click on 'pez' to see some disturbing math.


It's a good bet that our gov was involved in this whole joint Ethiopian-Somali operation on many levels from the start. Good Show! (for a change). Let's hope for more like this and less like Iraq in the future.

Mr. C, I checked out your AC-130 footage link. Very interesting stuff but I did have trouble with the repeated cautions to not hit the mosque. If that's where the enemy is hiding then HIT THE #&%@#&%# MOSQUE! THat aspect of the Iraqi campaign was probably the most infuriating of all. Didn't take the rats long to learn where to make their nests, hide their munitions, and be safe.

But this post is about the good news in Somalia and that's what I'm going to dwell on tonight. Looks like we're learning (finally) and making some good progress.

p.s. I'd like to see that AC-130 fly norht now and visit the presidential compound in Tehran.

Prepare for large scale protest in Minneapolis.

Whoa, read this post at LGF about the CAIR/Anti-CAIR
"disagreement".
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=23930#c0089


And the next time we spot a big al-Q funeral in progress, as in Afghanistan a few months ago, let's unleash the gunship on that too!

We are at WAR. War is a nasty business but sometimes necessary, especially when self-defensive and self-preserving. This one was forced on us. They started it and we need to finish it.


"Prepare for large scale protest in Minneapolis." -- American Soldier


Part of me wants to unleash the AC-130 on that too.

And here's some more good news.. Inshallamatullahwhateva.. :

http://www.adnki.com/index_2Level_English.php?cat=Religion&loid=8.0.373222346&par=0


read it and rejoice, Nazeem :-)

not a bad day against the islamonazis all-in-all. May this year of 2007 be one of continued good fortune for all the good guys!

"We hit that one, and that one, and oh, yeah, we took out that one." If you will recall, Granada was liberated in, like, five minutes, thanks to our military guys and that delightful little thing called a gunship."

Isabellathecrusader, have you ever met anyone from the Island of Grenada, have you ever been there, I have. I was there before and after the American invasion and the destruction left behind was sad, under the pretext of evacuating medical students who weren't really in any danger. The President of Grenada was killed by an American backed government and no it didn't take five minutes.

The irony of the situation is that Bishop who was killed asked for American aid to build Grenada and we said no, he went to Castro who said yes. That was a no no and that why your friend helped to bomb the shit out of Grenada's capital and what was at one time one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.

After hurricane Ivan destroyed Grenada back in 2004 we air-marked 40 million dollars to the country, but where's the money? It's with the corrupt government that we put in power.

Yup ! Got to echo Hugh's and John Sobieski's point

Way more effective , keeps the enemy off balance , great for morale , not only for us but also for our Ethiopian allies .

Everyone's a winner

And all for a couple of gallons of petrol , some bullets and a round of Mrs. Miggins apple pies for the heroes when they return . And more importantly , we didn't suffer any casualties . I'll buy that , any day of the week and twice on Sundays .

Compare that with Hell-on-Earth , aka Iraq

"This is the kind of tactics we should always use. Come out of nowhere, devastate the enemy and then LEAVE." John Sobieski

Indeed , John , but try to explain that to our NEOCons , who would be busy trying to build some schools , a couple of bridges and then give the nutters the vote.

U.S. Attacks Al Qaeda In Somalia

What about Al Qaeda, i.e. CAIR, at home?

Tradefair,

Actually, if I recall correctly it took less than a day to rid Granada of the Communists that were trying to takeover that little Carribean country. That was the real objective; picking up the medical students was a bonus. So now instead of two Cuba's we have only one. If some buildings got bombed because of it, it is, as you say, indeed sad, but neccessary sometimes when it comes to eradicating ideologies that bury man's spirit. Today it is Islam. In 1983 in Granada, it was Communism.

is this the same U.S. whose commander in chief believes Islam is a religion of peace.

I just got some vry interesting comments from Debbie Schlussel at my xanga site. Maybe I should share?

Anyway they're very interesting and I'm making a loooooog mailing list to share them and get the word out.

http://memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=1347

Why President Bush thinks that these people have enough self-control to live in peace is beyond me.
We should have never gone into Iraq and should get out now...dealing with the Iraqi Muslims is like dealing with 2 year olds in a sandbox. Actually 2 year old non-Muslims behave better than these 2 men.

The sooner we deal with getting energy independent and free from the Middle East and dealing with Muslims the better for the U.S.

Happy New Year 2007. :)

Isabellathecrusader,

They are filled with profanity so I hesitate. But they definitely will be emailed to everyone I know in radio, TV, and who owns a blog. They reveal some interesting things that need to be said.

Happy New Year to you too, Arjun!

Motor City Madman,

I'm confused. Why would Debbie Schlussel be cussing at you. I thought she was a friend here? What is your xanga site? What's the address?

Isabellathecrusader,

Without being too graphic, here is a taste of what I'm talking about. This is one of the messages:

"Hey you stupid motherfucker...just who the fuck you think you're commenting to...

Who i AM is a dude that will give your little pussy-ass a beat down IF i didn't know you were some camel ballsniffing queer...oooooh I'm gonna take you to court...you silly fuck, better mind you're not sent to court as a DEFENDANT, that is IF they don't Gitmo your sill ass"

Posted under an alias of course. Uh, I think I've been threatened. And I thought I knew her.

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND. I LOVE IT, PLEASE, OH PLEASE CENTCOM SHOW US THE FOOTAGE! IVE GOT PLENTY O POPCORN!! HAHAHAHA! I LOVE IT!

eff

Wow! Yes, they do come around and if carefully prepared can make a maximum impact. hahah! Lots to do. Take care all.

Motor:

I wouldn't take threats too lightly. These nuts can be dangerous. See an attorney etc. I know Robert has gotten threats too.

Motor City Madman,

Whoever is sending you those comments should be reported. I have a xanga site too. Look at the bottom of the page and you will see:

law enforcement, report inappropriate content

Try those. Good luck.

You people are nuts! You do realize these guys that the Ethiopians are putting into power are the same guys that were behind the Blackhawk Down thing? There is no winner in this just maybe target practice.

Massed groups of armed terrorists are excellant targets of opportunity, now let us be watching for massed protests for the next target of opportunity.

The gunship besides carrying miniguns, also carries rockets and a howitzer. This plane can blast anything from an ant to a tank.

On the radio, I heard this morning, hundreds of bodies found. That is great, I wonder how many have American and British passports.

Old Mo did have a plan, kill em where you find em. I am beginning to agree.

These tactics will have to be used on Islam in our country before too long. Destroy all Mosques, CAIR MSA and all else of the Islamic administration.

Declare Islam a murderous CULT and a Terrorist Organization.

People who insist on accepting the Islamic Ideology to destroy America should be sent back to where-ever.

pres bush does not know what he is doing day to day..................his continued actions show this.............

pres bush, you need to destroy muslim forces across the world and shut down our borders if you want to keep America free and Americans safe, but you will not do it for it would impact the profit of your buddies from oil and from cheap mexican labor......

Posted by: Alert at January 9, 2007 01:54 AM

I don't believe George Bush is a traitor. A traitor is someone who intentionally sets out to hurt his country. I think George Bush's really big mistake was that he really didn't know much about Islam or even understand what it really was until it was too late. I think he honestly believed that, after the Afghans and Iraqis had been liberated, they would immediately embrace American freedom and democracy. He honestly didn't know just how evil, pervasive, and dominating the hold of Islam is on the minds of these lost people. By the time, he began to suspect something was wrong with the people themselves, it was too late. We were up to our necks in it. Don't get me wrong. I am very disappointed with much of Bush's presidency and I voted for him twice. I am appalled by his deliberate weakness on securing the Mexican border and his failure to prosecute the war much harder. What he should have done in both cases is waged a much harder, all-out war, completed obliterated all opposition, and then imposed a MacArthur regency on both countries. We should have dictated the new constitutions/governments and then imposed them by force. Most of all, he should have recognized that Islam was the real enemy and began psychological campaigns to refute it intellectually in both countries and, most of all, to make the peoples there refute it themselves, much like a forced intervention with alchoholics or a cult deprogramming. I think he realizes this now but really doesn't know what to do at this stage of the game. He knows his legacy is in deep trouble and, for all we know, now he may be panicking. Poor old George. You know, for all we know, he's started drinking again too. There has been a report or two........

Hello to All and a Happy NEW Year!!

i just read this garbage from the UK "Times" which they have called an analysis..here is the link http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2537948,00.html.

Simple question though to anyone interested in reading it...how come the earstwhile analyst failed to ask a fundamental question to the following statement as it relates to the airstrike by the US on the islamic animals

"The danger is that the high loss of life reported and the likelihood that many non-al Qaeda sympathisers have been killed, including more moderate leaders of the defeated Union of Islamic Courts, could see the operation backfire spectacularly and unite Somalis against its new US-supported government."

WHY WERE THE "MODERATES" THERE IF THEY WERE MODERATE? and secondly WHO CARES IF THEY WERE...A DEAD TERRORIST IS A DEAD TERRORIST BLOODY RETARDS!!

SHUNKLEASH (PBUH)

Carolyn2,

YOU CALLED IT... The NY daily news is reporting that 31 civilians were killed when American helicopter gunships attacked,....two of them were newlyweds...... I have to wonder how many in the Twins were newlyweds. I don't rememver hearing the total on that, do you?

Naseem...

A lot of global Islamic terrorists are from your country and are trained there. Your government is doing nothing to curb these jihadist goons. I will not retract my statements as you insist. My stand is... I am against Islam and what the Koran stands for...hatred! I am suggesting a pre-emptive strike on jihadist training camps in Pakistan. After seeing the horrors of Beslan I am also suggesting a pre-emptive strike on terror training camps there too. Sorry to disappoint you Naseem... This cancer(Islam)must be stopped by any means necessary. No Islam, Know Peace...

Ok Zonie Kafir,

I was so upset when I read the post about Grenada that I started typing but not as fast as my brain was thinking and reediting as I wrote, so my post doesn’t make sense. After I read it this morning I see where the misunderstanding is.

When I said, the President of Grenada was killed by an American backed government, I was referring to Coard who was to be executed by the newly formed government and screwed up what I wanted to say. In any event they didn’t execute him but gave him life in prison

Whatever the case, the military coup that went down was just the spark that we needed to invade Grenada to install a US friendly government because Bishop was still down with Castro. Before the invasion Reagan had called Grenada a threat to US security and the CIA already had plans in place to remove Bishop’s government. Bishop had it coming no matter what. He had visited D.C. before the coupe took place and he was refused a visit by Reagan and Bush.

To this day no one has come forward to say where Bishop’s body is and the people of Grenada play videotapes of Bishop and Castro at events. That is why I mentioned my visits to Grenada because it has allowed me to get an understanding of what the people felt about the invasion as well as the Bishop/Castro alliance.

Some believe that Coard was used by the CIA in the plot to take out Bishop and Coard once said in an interview that the CIA killed Bishop.

Anyway this all off track sorry

Thanks Zonie, for clarifying the issue with Tradefair. My point was that the gunship was very effective in getting the job done in Granada and therefore doesn't surprise me at all that it was also effective in taking out some of the scum in Somalia who want to kill us, who are committed to waging war against us and establishing an Islamic government that we don't want. So often we hear about our military's hands being tied behind it's back when we are fighting a war, like in Vietnam and Iraq, that when you hear about something they did that cut through the red tape and also, used a highly efficient weapon to get the job done, it is heartening. And I can also tell you that the guys I knew in that squadron were salt of the earth, dedicated to defending America, loved their families and were willing to die to keep Americans free, including twenty something year old college students who are terribly misinformed.

Motor City Madman,

So sorry! I misunderstood you regarding Debbie Schlussel's blog. It wasn't she who was doing the cussing but our friendly, peaceful Muslims. Thanks for not getting TOO graphic, but I have to tell you, I'm always amused when the these same Muslims who want to convince us that they are peaceful, loving and mean us no harm, suddenly develop a bad case of Tourette's Syndrome that would make a sailor blush. And I always like the irony of how they are going to kick your "whatever" or shove your "whatevers" into an inconvenient place. How exceedingly brave of them to tell you so on a website.

SHUNKLEASH (PBUH),

This is one of the many gems of wisdom found in this JW non pc forum ! That is the spirit. PBUSHUNKLEASH !
