MOGADISHU, Somalia – A top U.S. official in the region said Thursday that none of the al-Qaida suspects believed to be hiding in Somalia died in a U.S. airstrike this week, but Somalis with close ties to the terrorist group were killed….
A Somali human rights group said Thursday that thousands of Somalis fleeing the fighting were now stranded on the Kenyan border, which has been closed.
“Thousands are in a bad condition and they do not have food and water. They are stranded at the border after Kenya closed it and they cannot go back to their houses for two reasons: the ongoing airstrikes and lack of transportation,” said Ali Bashi, chairman of the Fanole human rights group.
The Red Cross said more than 850 wounded people, both civilians and soldiers, have been treated at medical facilities since fighting started just over two weeks ago. The group said in a statement it was deeply concerned about the plight of civilians and those captured by Ethiopian and government forces.
H.L.s Take:
They killed the wrong 10 people, wounded 850, left thousands stranded at the border with nowhere to go, chaos everywhere, this sounds like the work of George W. Bush, the failure monkey in chief. Everything he touches turns to s**t. They call that the reverse midas touch. However since failure and chaos is the Bush families main goal, I guess you would call it the reverse reverse midas touch. Either way you look at it you can chalk up another in a still perfect record of failure. Bush is becoming the Cal Rikpen Jr. of failure, he hasn’t missed an opportunity to F**k up in at least 6 years.
