    Don't need to. Somalia has a established government, it just does not control the whole country. And besides, the UN is there saving the day. LOL

    Remember Black Hawk Down, the film about battle of Mogadishu? Been there, done that.

    We don't need any more casualties. We're in enough hot spots in the world. We left Somalia and there comes a time when it's: JUST NOT OUR PROBLEM anymore.

    Bill Clinton already lost one war with them.It took a total moron to lose a war with a third world country but,Bill Clinton DID.

    And remember Jimmy Carter tried to launch one covert operation to free our hostages in Iran and the U.S. Military looked foolish because of Jimmy Carter.

    Democrats don't want to fight a war because they know they don't have what it takes to be a real leader.

    They are of no use to any country, so why should Europe, the USA , India, or China want to invade them?

    Why? Even Obama would have a tough persuading for that one.

    He'd have to show pictures of the family.

    Somalia has nothing to take. They should just nuke it.
