Somali Pirates Form Unholy Alliance with Islamists »

Posted By israeligirl1 7 months ago in News

Warships have done little to deter Somalia's pirates. But now it seems that terror on the High Seas is making an unlikely alliance with Islamic terror inland. It's a terrifying alliance: The pirates supply money and arms, while the Islamists have troops and the power on land.

    We should not forget the old adage; it is always the case, you scratch my back and I scratch yours and also your enemy is my friend and my enemy is your friend.

      Sweet deal in that part of the world.
      Has worked well for them for a long, long time.

      I'm sure that when the US, and the other major powers that be, start to really pay attention to what is truly going on there, the 'Somali political scene' will change to meet the needs of the highest bidder.

          The Islamic nation has been robbing sea trade routes for years
          and we are talking about billions of dollars paid out in cash
          over the last 10 years. Now look at the skinny somali kids that are arrested for media sake. This is a well organized group of islamic terrorists that foothold in a poor islamic country, who protect the intrests of the terrorists who feed them and allow them to live. Gosh I wish people would grow up and start holding people, groups and nations responsible for their actions and partisipation.

            The world is getting even more dangerous especially with one group of terrorists joining a group of fanatical terrorists

            Hm. Kind of like the US government has formed an unholy alliance with apartheid Israel.

            Looks like this board is being hacked by those that do not want the truth between the Pirates and the Islamicists discussed.
            Wonder why?
            LOL

              What a shock ! The pirates are joining the terrorists ! Like they were never together in the first place. I don't know what planet democrats/liberals are living on but most everyone I talk to say enough is enough, it's time to step up the war on terror, not negotiate like the weasel dem/libs would prefer. Just looking at the recent suicide bombings in Iraq, a female terrorist detonates her vest while holding a little girls hand killing 50 or so people waiting for food and now the Taliban is on the rise in Pakistan which is scary with their nukes and Bin Laden waiting in the wings there. I say pull out of Iraq and bomb the **** out of Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and any other crap hole over there. We could make it the worlds largest landfill and our garbage problems would be takin care of. Please forgive me if I left out any crap hole countries !

              Another thing as long as I'm still on. We should all be very worried that the Obama admistration is going to publish photos of prisoners from the war on terror,this after publishing our interrogation techniques. They are either insane or there is something else going on here. Do they think such moves will make us safer ? The only conclusion one could come to is it is being done on purpose as if they want the US to fall so we can join the happy one world club !
