CIA Drone Airstrike Kills Two Al-Shabaab Leaders In Somalia…

Feel good story of the day.

MOGADISHU, Somalia, June 30 (UPI) — An unmanned aircraft attacked two leaders of a militant Somali group with ties al-Qaida apparently wounding the targets, a U.S. military official said.

The drone strike occurred last week against senior members of al-Shabaab, coming as concern grows within the U.S. government that some leaders of the Islamist group are working more closely with al-Qaida to strike targets outside of Somalia, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Somalia is at least the sixth country in which the United States is using drones to conduct airstrikes, the Post reported, joining Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Iraq and Yemen.

Both of the leaders targeted in the drone attack had “direct ties” to American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the military official said.

    Flashback to June 3rd, 2008

    –”I, (Barack Obama), am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when:
    We began to provide care for the sick
    &
    Good jobs to the jobless.
    This was the moment when:
    The rise of the oceans began to slow
    &
    Our planet began to heal. t
    This was the moment when:
    WE ENDED A WAR and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth.”–
    Barack Obama Minneapolis, Minn. June 3rd 2008

    Can we use our drones to attack the terrorists in our government? We can then rebuild a better White House.
