  • UN is Cover for Foreign Intrusion in Somalia

    Somalia has oil. More accurately, American firms have 'force de majeure' over Somalia oil rights since the presidency of Siad Barre.

It would first necessary for him to do the mental work of learning what a counterinsurgency is about, learning the difference between Shiite and Sunni and how al-Qaida in Iraq differs from the al-Qaida that was responsible for 9/11.
