US airstrikes kill Al Qaeda affiliated terrorist in Somalia, wound 2 others
American Military News, March 2, 2020:
U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) started off the month with two airstrikes on Al-Shabaab terrorists on Monday, killing one terrorist and wounding two others.

“US Africa Command is focused on support to the Federal Government of Somalia and helping them end al-Shabaab‘s brutal ambitions and treatment of the Somali people,” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Bill Gayler, director of operations, U.S. Africa Command, in a statement to American Military News.
“Striking al-Shabaab leadership, fighters, facilities and areas of operations is one of the ways we continue to pressure their network,” Gayler added.
“Al-Shabaab leadership has expressed its primary desire is to conduct attacks not just in East Africa, but against Americans and U.S. interests across the globe. International efforts and the persistent pressure placed on al-Shabab helps contain the group’s broader ambitions and desire to conduct attacks beyond Somali borders,” the statement said.
The strikes are the 15th airstrike operation conducted against al-Shabaab in Somalia so far this year. Nine of the strikes took place in February.
The fifteen strikes have collectively killed at least 13 Al-Shabaab terrorists and wounded several others, in addition to damaging or destroying multiple terrorist compounds.
“Al-Shabaab kills regularly and indiscriminately,” Brig. Gen. Castellanos said last month. “This al-Qaida affiliate exploits innocent Somalis, displaces families, and imposes illegal taxes through force and violence. They want to export their vision of destruction more widely. It is our collective international efforts and persistent pressure that prevents this from occurring.”
U.S. forces have been positioned in Africa for years, targeting both ISIS-Somalia terrorists and the Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Shabaab terrorists.
AFRICOM conducted more than 60 airstrikes in Somalia during 2019, setting a record. They previously conducted 47 airstrikes in 2018 and 35 in 2017.
“Since al-Shabaab’s first external attack in 2010, the group has ruthlessly killed hundreds,” U.S. Army Maj. Gen. William Gayler, director of operations, U.S. Africa Command, said in a December 29 statement.

“Iran’s state media reported on Saturday that Asqhar Bashpour, a close aide of Qassem Soleimani, was killed during an Iran-backed Syrian offensive against rebels in Idlib and around Aleppo. Bashpour took over all Iranian-backed Special Forces operations in Syria after Soleimani’s assassination.”

And Israel just keeps bombing Iranian targets in Syria, almost every week. Iran is melting down with the Covid-19 epidemic. Rotten governments have rotten health care, and the Irainian people are in poor health to begin with.

Yes, Bennett is the new Defense minister, and he is really tough. So far, Israel has just held the line against Iran, but I expect Iran to diminish in power and aggression as the economy and health care system tank simultaneously.

Are you telling me this Mohammad scholar is wrong? I am so incensed. Allah knows best and this scholar is a devouted follower of him. (LOL)
Seriously we couldn’t stop laughing at this. It’s as insane as drinking camel pee to cure cancer. They really want to go back to 7th century living. Iran refused the Big Satan, the U.S., Trump help with the virus. So more of it will spread in the middle east, Europe and here as people look for ways to keep traveling there.
I’m not really sure which of these two ‘solutions’
is more disturbing.
Ayatollahs’ solutions to the Coronavirus
(and all other viruses):
1- Dip a cotton in oil and place it inside the anus before you sleep.
2- Take a bottle of water to a cleric and have him spit inside it for blessings before drinking.
Not a joke.

Drones. Airstrikes. no fly zones. control borders. and a Travel Ban to prevent outside actors. and to prevent Jihadis from migrating. Refugees can go to safe zones outside the west or other Muslim countries far away. No nation-building. No Russian style withdrawal either. just the execution of Jihadis in the WAR ON TERROR.
True CONTAINMENT (not the dumb kind Obama did when he left Iraq to ISIS).

Any word from Omar on this?
She defends Muslim terrorists and sees US as the terrorists. This must be VERY upsetting for her to see fellow Muslim terrorists killed.

Quotes from General James Mattis USMC:
“Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them…”
“You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”
