Somalia: A Third Front
I was having dinner with a Brother a month ago and was telling him Somalia was where we were going next. It looks like it's time to say we're there ... hopefully, much to al-Qaeda's death and despair.
Wonder what the Dems will say about this?
Allah has a round up here. Also see the link to PJM regarding US boots on the ground in Somalia.
Dan, there are Two Fronts.
Foreign and Domestic.
Just my take on it.

One way to look at it. could be four, too counting domestic, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Somalia. With more to come, I'm sure.

Somalia is only one facet of CJTF-HOA operations, and this thing in Somalia now is the culmination of several years of prep work that's been going on in concert with Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, and Eritrea.

Dan, the Global War on Terror is underway.
The Domestic War on Terror has only just begun.
Trust me. Two Fronts. I know it.

OT, I'm not saying there isn't a domestic front, only that all the International fronts are not the same.

Three fronts - the media is the 3rd one.

A Ranger of my acquaintance, returned from Iraq, mentioned six months ago that his next ninety-day would probably be Somalia. He said no more.

FWIW, that's around the timeframe Lemonier was stocking up with 1,500 Marines...

What front is our borders? Maybe the biggest in the long run.
