No they were clearly just peaceloving Somali villagers who just happened to have UK passports, but preferred to remain in Somalia rather than moving to London.

Top ten reasons a Somali with a british passport isnt in the UK:
1. Its, you know, January. Who wants to be in London in January?
2. Not moving to UK till Gordon Brown takes over from Tony Blair
3. Really cant stand "red Ken"
4. Doesnt like going to mosques run by Pakistanis
5. At least Somalia doesnt have congestion charges
6. Afraid of football hooligans
7. Doesnt want kids exposed to post modern sculptures in Trafalgar Square
8. Saw too many "Masterpiece Theater" reruns
9. Doesnt like kidney pie


and the top reason

10. Is protesting the Princess Diana coverup

Poor attempt at humor and sarcasm

Latest reports in the media are that this operation didn't hit anything important. The people behind this operation were probably retards in geography and hit the wrong area. If there were any bad guys to begin with.

U.S. official: No al-Qaeda suspects killed in Somalia airstrikes
Updated 1/11/2007 2:36 PM ET

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — None of three top suspected terrorists in Somalia was killed in a U.S. airstrike this week, but Somalis with close ties to al-Qaeda were killed, a senior U.S. official in the region said Thursday.

A day earlier, a Somali official had said a U.S. intelligence report had referred to the death of one of the three senior al-Qaeda members believed responsible for bombing U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998. But U.S. and Ethiopian troops in southern Somalia were still pursuing the three, the U.S. official in Kenya said Thursday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record.

In Washington, officials had said U.S. special operations forces were in Somalia. U.S. and Somali officials said Wednesday a small American team has been providing military advice to Ethiopian and Somali forces on the ground. The officials provided little detail and spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.

The U.S. forces entered Somalia with Ethiopian forces late last month when Ethiopians launched their attack against a Somali Islamic movement said to be sheltering al-Qaeda figures, one of the officials said.

Abdirizak Hassan, the Somali president's chief of staff, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that al-Qaeda suspect Fazul Abdullah Mohammed was killed. He said he learned of the death in a U.S. intelligence report passed on to the Somali authorities. Fazul, one of the FBI's most wanted terrorists, has evaded capture for eight years.

I like how a grown man uses "***" as what he thinks is a mortal insult. Oh my gawd, homosexuals!

Dude, get with the program. "***" isn't synonymous with "gay" anymore. Fags are whining, ***** little *****es like you Europeans, straight or gay. Uber-manly homos like Asher, OTOH, are totally not fags.

And yes, to some it* would have been better 'cause some of our troops would've died. But I continue to believe (perhaps erroneously) that those who hold that view here on 'poly are few in number.

I would laugh at your naivete, but it's part of your charm.

I would froth at your arrogance, but it's part of your charm. You really are the best US troll right now, so I just can't get too mad at you.

If that's the best you've got, truly this is a dark age for God's America.

[Arrian]

Ned's there too.

[Last Conformist]

Ned's not a troll, he just lives in a parallel universe that only intersects with ours at 'Poly.

[Arrian]

Nah, he trolls as well. He does live in the Nediverse, but even so there are times when he deliberately trolls. It's subtle, but I think I've managed to figure out when he's trolling and when he's actually arguing earnestly.

Drake, go to Harlem, throw around "******" and see where it gets you. It isn't synonymous with "sub-human, African filth" anymore. ****** is simply a respectful greeting between friends. After you get out of the hospital and physical therapy, go to the Castro and try calling everyone there a ***. You might be surprised to find it still means "gay" and is interpreted as a nasty, bigoted insult. After you get out of the hospital and physical therapy again (yes, you'll get the snot beaten out of you just as badly ... you're still dealing with full-grown men; not all gay men are skinny little twinks, some are quite the bruisers...), write us a thread about your experiences.



Now, howsabout we quit this threadjack and get back to Somalia?

[Drake Tungsten]

Unfortunately, many homosexuals still live up to the whiny, girly stereotype that made them synonymous with the term in the first place...

[DRoseDARs]

Still, both words are unacceptable to use in most cases unless you're looking for trouble.

I'm not blowing kisses to the Euro America-haters...

I must say, the distinction Drake makes is something Ive seen before. Some standup comedy guy in the 70s said "A *** isnt a queer. A *** is a guy who wont join the guys in beating up the queers"

Of course he was immitating New York working class teenagers (or younger) not educated adults.
