The Somalia Prime Minister is very brave.
Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed not only supports the U.S. mission that took out al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden last week, but he would welcome such an attack on his own country's al-Qaida affiliate and increased attention on Somalia like the West has had on Afghanistan and Iraq.
It might just be me, but the Somalian Prime Minister appears to be inviting the United States to launch war on the al-Qaida affiliate within his own country.
So who are we to not oblige this request?
Considering the United States is already at war with al-Qaida (and all of their affiliates) and also fighting pirates based in Somali, we had more than enough grounds to invade the chaotic nation before, but this invitation seals the deal.
With the War in Iraq over (for all those keep saying it's not) and our war effort limited to air strikes in Libya, there is not one reason for us to not continue the War on Terrorism in Somalia, where the American educated Prime Minister is all but begging us to do so.
What say you?
being america's "friend" gets you thrown under the bus
