Third Front In War On Terror

The following revelation puts my loved ones, who are in the service, in even greater danger. There have never even been enough troops in Iraq.

Just because they enlisted does not mean they are expendable. I believe they have as much right, or more, as anyone to not be placed in danger, recklessly and carelessly, they shouldn't be expected to take on the whole world by themselves and they certainly do not need this administration constantly making things worse and they don't need the people, sitting here back home in their relative security, stirring up more hate.

Back in January, experts warned that the U.S.' involvement in Somalia was perpetuating the belief that the U.S. is waging a war against Islam, not terrorism.
Osama bin Laden, according to TIME (Alex Perry, 7-02-07), had urged followers to "open up shop" there for years, but it was a secular nation with a "historic wariness of Arab interference. No longer."

Observers say that hundreds of foreign jihadists are arriving, forming an alliance with Somalia nationalist rebels, remnants of the overthrown Islamic government, and rebels from the bordering countries.

"A diplomat in Nairobi warns of a 'third front in the war on terror.' The parallels to Iraq, which the U.S. alleged had links to al-Qaeda, only to invade and create them by sowing chaos and anti-U.S. sentiment, are plain."
