Hussein Aideed, co-chairman of the Somali Reconciliation and Restoration Council (SSRC) and an opponent of Somalia's transitional government, said fighters forced out of Afghanistan by the U.S. offensive wanted to set up a Taliban-style Islamic administration in the Horn of Africa state. "The al Itihad and the al Qaeda terrorists who escaped from Afghanistan are already trickling back into Somalia," he said during on a visit to the Ethiopian capital. "These groups have unlimited funds which they receive from Islamic non-governmental organizations and Arab states which they are using to woo poverty-stricken Somalis to their side." Aideed said without elaborating that 57 "terrorist leaders" had recently entered the country, and had concealed weapons.
Ooooh. And when we go in after them, the Left will be able to scream about "racism." How long after military action begins until we hear that if Somalis were white we wouldn't be there? |
