What the FUCK are we doing in Somalia? Didn't we learn our fucking lesson about meddling already? America is NOT World Police and it is NOT our job to get our people killed by involving ourselves in tribal conflicts that have been going on for centuries.

This seems very suspicious. A larger force of Somalis and Kenyans escapes virtually unscathed, but the USSF troops suffer very significant casualties.
To me this looks like the "natives" either set the Americans up, or abandoned them as soon as the fighting started.

[AnNahar] The US Justice Department announced Wednesday that an American alleged Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group combatant held in Iraq for over eight months would be released, potentially defusing a troubling detainee test case for the Trump administration.
After being blocked by a Washington court from handing over the dual US-Saudi citizen, identified only as "John Doe" to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the Justice Department said in a filing that it had decided to release the man in Syria, where he was originally taken prisoner.
But his legal representative, the American Civil Liberties Union, immediately said it would fight the release into war-torn Syria, which it called a "death warrant" for the man.
The release decision was an unexpected reversal after the government spent the months since the man was captured in September defending its power to hold him indefinitely, on grounds that he had been a "enemy combatant" in Syria, fighting for the Islamic State group (IS).
That made him the first American alleged member of IS caught on the battlefield, and the first known foreign member of a jihadist group taken into custody by the Trump administration.
Yet "John Doe" was never charged, and he said he was not involved with IS when he was detained in Syria.
The case raised questions about whether the Trump administration would introduce his case into the US justice system, hand him over to Saudi Arabia, or, as Trump had in the past threatened, send him to the Guantanamo military prison in Cuba.
Allowed to represent him, the ACLU successfully fought the decision two months ago to transfer him to another country -- understood to be Saudi Arabia -- without his agreement.
The court agreed with the ACLU's argument that that would violate the US constitutional rights of the man, who was born in the United States to a Saudi family.
In the filing Wednesday, the Justice Department said the US military had offered "John Doe" the choice of being released in an unnamed town in Syria or outside a Syrian camp for internally displaced persons.
But the man "did not identify a preference between the two locations and would not agree to the release" as proposed to him, the filing said.
"Accordingly, out of an abundance of caution, the department is filing this notice of its intent to release petitioner (Doe) in the town specified," it said.
The release would take place after a 72 hour waiting period ordered by the court.
In a statement, ACLU lawyer Jonathan Hafetz called the move "a disgraceful way to treat an American citizen."
"The government has effectively admitted that it has no reason to continue detaining our client and that he does not pose a threat. But, instead of offering a safe release, they want to dump an American citizen onto the side of the road in a war-torn country without any assurances of protection and no identification."
"What the government is offering our client is no release -- it's a death warrant."

[DAWN] At least three Paleostinians, including a 15-year-old, were killed by Israeli fire on the Gazoo border on Friday, the territory's health ministry said.
Israeli troops fired live rounds and tear gas as thousands of Paleostinians protested near the Gazoo border fence on Friday, with some demonstrators burning tires, throwing stones and flying blazing kites. At least 413 Paleostinians were maimed, including 80 by live fire, Gazoo health officials said.
Besides, seven of the maimed were at death's door, the Health Ministry said, in the latest in a series of mass protests to call attention to a decade-old blockade of Gazoo by Israel and Egypt.

[IsraelTimes] Syrian Kurdish officials say a US delegation is visiting the strategic town of Manbij, days after a delicate US-The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... deal that is expected to see an American-backed Kurdish militia pull out of the area.
The head of the Manbij Military Council, who goes by the name Mohammed Abu Adel, says the delegation assured him there will be no Ottoman Turkish troops inside Manbij.
Abu Adel says joint US-Ottoman Turkish patrols will only take place along already-delineated front lines between the strategic town and other Ottoman Turkish-controlled areas to the west. He says the local military council will remain in charge of the town and Washington is keeping them informed of details of the deal.
The commander of the anti-IS US coalition, Maj. General James Jarrard, and veteran Middle East diplomat William Roebuck are part of the delegation.
