PRESS RELEASE (SOUTH AFRICA) WAR ON SOMALIA MUST BE CONDEMNED
PRESS RELEASE: 10/01/07
The Muslim Judicial Council [MJC] and the Media Review Network [MRN],
condemns the reckless invasion of Somalia by Ethiopia with the backing
of the United States of America. This US- supported crime completely
undermines the role of the UN and has once again exposed the US’s
refusal to abide by internationally established policies.

Somalia : "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" Boykin gets the boot
Jan. 9, 2007 - Airstrikes this week on alleged Al Qaeda figures in
Somalia may prove to be one of the last counterterrorism operations
associated with a controversial Pentagon general who has overseen the
deployment of secret U.S. Special Ops teams against suspected terror
plotters, defense experts close to the Pentagon and intelligence
community tell NEWSWEEK.
Lt. Gen. William Boykin and his boss, soon-to-depart Defense
Undersecretary for Intelligence Steve Cambone, have guided or taken part
in the planning of such covert operations against Al Qaeda-linked groups
in several countries since 9/11. There is no indication that new Defense
Secretary Robert Gates disagrees with the Somalia operation this week.
But Boykin has long been a divisive figure. A devout evangelical
Christian, he achieved notoriety in October 2003 when he was videotaped
telling a church audience that the god of a Muslim warlord was "an idol"
and that "my God was a real God."

US Attacks Somalia, Taking Sides With Former Enemy Warlords
The United States has committed an act of war against Somalia (as
Buzzflash noted), launching a gunship attack in pursuit of "suspected al
Qaeda operatives." Several people were killed when US planes "strafed
the village of Hayo near the Kenyan border" and possibly the village of
Ras Kamboni, the Guardian reports. It is highly unlikely that whole
villages can be strafed without killing some innocent civilians. But
then again, George W. Bush clearly operates on the principle of
statecraft laid down by Josef Stalin: "When wood is chopped, chips fly."
[Update: Civilians have indeed been killed, as the Guardian reports
tonight:
Another air strike killed up to 31 people this morning near the town of
Afmadow, 220 miles southwest of the capital, Mogadishu, according to
local witnesses and officials...The Associated Press cited witnesses as
saying 31 civilians, including two newlyweds, had been killed in the
strike, by two US helicopter gunships. Reuters cited a local witness as
saying between 22 and 27 people had been killed.]

such attacks.

They Never Learn: Somalia is Iraq writ small
The series of blunders and willful miscalculations that led to our
present predicament in Iraq are now being replicated in Somalia, where a
rather large U.S. footprint is being stamped into the hard Somali soil.
Well, it isn't a footprint, quite yet, but rather a series of bomb
craters, where the lives of "many" civilians, according to news reports,
have been summarily ended. U.S. bombing raids, ostensibly aimed at al-
Qaeda fighters supposedly hidden among native Islamic militias, have
succeeded in killing scores, albeit none of the three dudes we are
allegedly after. That's right: we're bombing a country because we're
after a terrorist trio.

Somalia Strike: What this means for a region consumed by war and chaos.
Will the US attacks escalate the conflict?
Probably, because of the number of civilians killed by the American
missiles. More Somalis could join the ranks of the Islamists who have
just suffered a defeat in their fight against the transitional
government. The Americans and their regional allies will say that the
operation was a "one off" because it was an opportunity to hit al-Qa'ida
leaders in Somalia wanted for the 1998 US embassy bombings in Nairobi
and Dar es Salaam. However, there is a danger that the Americans will
intervene again and be dragged further into the quagmire - at a time
when the Bush administration wants to concentrate on boosting the
military in Iraq.

War Criminal : U.S. soldier accused of murder had been diagnosed as
homicidal
Once in the house, Green herded the father, mother and 5-year-old
daughter to another room, closed the door and shot them dead. Green had
blood on his clothes and boots when he returned. Green and at least two
others took turns raping the other daughter before killing her with the
family's AK-47. They set her body on fire.

Rape, murder, and complicity in Mahmudiya
Back in June the world learned of one of the more horrifying incidents
in the U.S. figurative rape of Iraq, and that was the literal rape and
murder (by fire) of 14-year-old Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, along with the
murder of her entire family.
There have been rumors before about the soldier who seems to have been
the principal instigator of the attack, but now it appears they're being
confirmed

Ethnic cleansing in Baghdad - Baghdad street becomes new Fallujah
US and Iraqi troops, backed by American F-15 jet fighters and Apache
attack helicopters, fought suspected insurgents for at least 12 hours in
one of Baghdad's most dangerous neighbourhoods in what may be a preview
of expanded US operations in Iraq.
US and Iraqi officials said the assault on the Haifa Street
neighbourhood rooted out an insurgent cell that controlled the area, but
residents from the predominantly Sunni Muslim area and Sunni leaders
said the American forces had been duped by Iraq's Shia-dominated
security forces into participating in a plan to drive Sunnis from the
area.

Dozens of pro-Iranian Shi'i sectarian gunmen killed in Haifa Attack
Dozens of pro-Iranian Shi'i sectarian gunmen killed in day of fighting
as US forces team up with pro-Iranian sectarians to attack Baghdad
neighborhoods and American and puppet forces begin new “Security Plan”
targeting Sunni districts.
In a dispatch posted at 9:27pm Makkah time Tuesday night, Mafkarat al-
Islam reported that contrary to claims made by the Iraqi puppet regime
and echoed by western media, the gunmen killed in heavy fighting in
Baghdad on Tuesday were for the most part not Resistance men or local
Sunni defense fighters, but pro-Iranian Shi'i sectarian Jaysh al-Mahdi
gunmen allied with the US occupation forces.

Update on “Haifa Street” attack
Islamemo reporter in the area said:
Those who the government announced as killed in the operation [50], were
gangs from "Mahdi Army" and not the residents of "Haifa Street" or Iraqi
resistance, the proof of this is; most of the killed are outside the
neighborhood
Resistance lost seven martyrs [buried immediately] and eight wounded, US
forces and Iraqi militias are vanished right now from the area, but the
resistance keep guarding the entrance of the neighborhood.
Another update from Al-Jazeera:
Few minutes ago Al-jazeera interviewed Al-Dhari head of the information
in the Association of Muslim Scholars and he said:
The government forces and sectarian militias executed 12 young reprisals
from the people of Haifa Street across the execution of 12 young men
from the area.
Al-Arabiya TV confirmed this also with eyewitnesses

Fox News Anchor Calls Ted Kennedy A "Hostile Enemy Right Here On The
Home Front
This morning on Fox News, anchor Gretchen Carlson called Sen. Ted
Kennedy (D-MA) a “hostile enemy” of the United States because he has
demanded that Congress vote on whether to approve funding for escalation
in Iraq.
What ever you think of Ted Kennedy, this demand for a vote about
approving funds for this escalation is a very courageous and reasonable
thing to do.
It will put every member of congress on record on this issue, and that's
something the American peope deserve.
Just remember: when logic can't destroy an opposing point of view. many
alleged "commentators" immediately turn to character assasination as a
distraction from the real issue.

Media deception and the coming nuclear holocaust
Forty five years ago in October 1962, people watched in horror as the
superpowers went to the brink of a global nuclear war during the Cuban
Missile Crisis when the Soviets attempted to place nuclear missiles in
Cuba, to match U.S. deployments in Europe near the Soviet border. What
followed next was nearly 30 years of constant fear of a nuclear
holocaust. But 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union the threat of
a new nuclear disaster still remains.

9/11 : Gitmo Hunger Strikers Increase -- Tuesday, Jan. 09, 2007
"The hunger strike technique is consistent with al-Qaeda practice and
reflects detainee attempts to elicit media attention to bring
international pressure on the United States to release them back to the
battlefield," said Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand, a Guantanamo Bay spokesman.
Just one small question for Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand: just what do these
men have to live for?

9/11 : U.S. behind reign of terror sweeping Philippines
The wave of terror currently sweeping the Philippines is part and parcel
of U.S. imperialism's historical and bloody drive to dominate and
control the South East Asian region, especially the Philippines. These
aims are best capsulated in the words of U.S. Sen. Alfred Beveridge when
he said in 1900, “The country that rules the Pacific, rules the world.”

“We abducted 4110 Palestinians in 2006”
A senior Israeli military official said on Monday that soldiers abducted
4110 Palestinians in several Palestinian areas 2006. The sources stated
that most of the abducted residents "were wanted to the Israeli security
services".
The Israeli Radio reported that the official, who works at the general
military command of the Central Region, said that the military abilities
and operations in the West Bank created a significant drop in the
"Palestinian attacks inside Israel".

Israel Has Lost
Germany's war was definitely lost in 1942, yet it dragged on for another
3 years. It didn't change the outcome, only the final death toll and the
magnitude of the blow-back.
