#1 Perhaps they can send some troops to help Honduras as BHØ doesn't seem interested in supporting a constitutional government. /s

Actually now that I think about it, it's not such a bad idea.

#2 Neighbors and Western governments fear that if the Somali administration is overthrown

The said Administration currently controls about 4 blocks in downtown Mog and not much else.

#3 The Ethiopians tell Obama to F off and he'll send Hillary over with a RESET button.

#4 Given that the Ethiopians can't even beat the Eritrians I don't think they have a prayer of controlling Somalia.

#5 What? The Ethiopians intervened on behalf of a legitimate regime under siege from terrorists. And Hussein O thinks that was wrong.

#6 I would rather read that the "US urges Somalians to stay out of the U.S. I have completely unassimmilated Somali neighbors. The women are covered from head to toe and acknowledge no-one's existence outside of their family.
The mother vigorously cursed at my autistic son for staring at her.
The father shields his face while driving past our house if my wife and daughters are outside. They Somalis seem to have ample funding from the feds, state, and city of Tucson. They have three sons and two daughters (covered head to toe). They live in a city owned house for which I presume they pay peanuts in rent. Mother and father clean rooms at a local resort. They have accumulated three late model cars since moving to Arizona two years ago. I am not a nativist but I cringe seeing my tax dollars(which I have been paying since the 1960's) used in this manner. What in the hell is going on in this country???
