Ya know, this just reminded me of another US attack on a house in Somalia back in November. Allegedly another ‘terrorist’ was ‘suspected’ of residing there, and if memory serves me, the ‘suspected’ person was killed along with innocent women and children also living in the house.

It’s worth looking up again, since the situation was provided in terms of a question on International Law. In other words, I hadn’t read of that incident prior to it being brought up as a question in that academic context. The details were that the US had NOT requested permission from the Somalian government, (such as it may or may not be) nor had they even advised them that they would be attacking this house in this village.

Meantime, remember this is the same thing they did when they bombed the house in Iraq to kill Zawahari. Others were killed as well. Now we only know about that because the thugs made sure to attach all sorts of propaganda to that particular attack, since Zawahari was supposedly the ‘top’ al-Qaeda terrorist in Iraq at the time. (I’ll have to go and check out the details in the archive).

This seems to have the same purpose. But, what it does is to serve as a reminder that the US military does this SOMEWHERE, on a DAILY basis, and there are usually innocent civilians blasted along with whomever the ‘terrorist’ allegedly is. We just don’t hear about those every day occurrances, but they’re happening all the time in Iraq now, because of the increased air campaign..at least since the ‘surge’ began over a year ago.

Should we be happy someone we have never heard of was killed just because we’re told he’s a member of Al-Queda? What ever happened to proof? “The man considered?”

I consider people I work with to be stapler thieves, should I have them arrested? Oh, but I forgot the super patriot excuse. They’re not Americans, so it’s okay if we kill under false pretense. They don’t have any rights. When the hell did Jim Crow leave America to be applied to the rest of the world?

I swear, Bush could stab Tony Blair in the throat and try to pass off ‘terror cell’ as an excuse.

Boy, that Al Qaeda, how the hell it functions is a real mystery. Such a top-heavy organization, everyone in it is a General, or the CEO, or the equivalent. If the US military were like that, they’d have to subcontract ass-wiping to Blackwater, or walk around scratching their butts 24/7/365, ‘cause they sure couldn’t wipe their own.

Yet Bin Laden has managed to make it function well. When this whole terrist brouhaha is over, Osama should be able to make a damned good living as a visiting Harvard Business School expert lecturer on ‘Advanced Executive Techniques’.

And West Point could sure use him, too.
