Somalia Urges Speedier Aid

Excerpt from story on FoxNews Web Site:

Somali presidential spokesman Yusuf Mohamed Ismail said 24 countries — including the United States, Italy, German and Saudi Arabia — have pledged to send relief to Somalia. But nothing has arrived more than a week after a massive underwater earthquake (search) off Indonesia some 3,000 miles away sent lethal waves as far as the east coast of Africa.

"We are very happy that relief supplies have arrived in Asia, which was hit the hardest by the tragedy, but Somalia — which has been ravaged from a 13-year civil war, drought and political neglect — also needs emergency help to deal with the latest calamity," Yusuf told The Associated Press.

Hey Yusuf,

The US gave aid 10/3/1993 and Somali's rejected it => where's the relief for those who tried to help, but were instead killed, and then some, butchered by your countrymen?

Some of us don't forget!

Names of those who gave all on 10/3 can be found here:

Somalis dragged the corpses of dead U.S. GIs through the streets. They kicked, jumped and spat upon the corpses. And now they want our aid?

Mogadishu

Mind boggling, isn't it!

They want us to forget. They want to be able to do anything to us that they want, and we are to remain docile and just keep on giving.

What's taking those Frenchies so long to help them?

I don't think we have a choice. But a Somlian is a Somlian is a Somlian. Does a leopard change their spots?

That was in 1993. Currently they are harboring many terrorist types including al Qaeda. There has been speculation that bin Laden and Zhawihiri (either or both) may have been in Somalia recently.

I'm all for helping those who have not lifted a hand for, or against, the US.....but with Somalia, we need to draw a line. They have shown that they are actively against the US war on terror.
