Somalia: Al-Shabaab Claims American Carried Out Suicide Bombing On AU Base In Mogadishu…
One less potential suicide bomber in America.
(LWJ) — Shabaab claimed that an American citizen was one of two suicide bomber who were part of an assault team that attacked an African Union base in Mogadishu yesterday.
Two suicide bombers “disguised as Somali Army troops,” according to an African Union press release, and an estimated 10 heavily armed fighters attacked the base Uganda and Somali troops based at the German Steel Factory in northern Mogadishu on Oct. 29.
The result of the Shabaab attack is unclear. The African Union claimed the attack “failed” and “the suicide bombers blew themselves” up before reaching their targets. “The extremists were unable to take control of the AMISOM position,” the press release stated.
But witnesses in Mogadishu claimed that several African Union and Somali troops were killed during the fighting. Shabaab claimed it killed 80 Ugandan troops, including the base commander, while overrunning the base.
“The Mujahideen have today stormed an AMISOM compound, killing 80 Ugandan soldiers,” Shabaab said in a statement released in English on the pro-Shabaab website Somali Memo. “In a fierce battle that lasted over two hours, the Mujahideen have yet again dealt another fatal blow to the African Crusaders. Two martyrdom seekers infiltrated the AMISOM compound — the former metal factory — situated along the Industrial Road, near Mogadishu Stadium, and where divisions of the Ugandan soldiers and TFG militia were based, successfully killing the commander as he addressed the Ugandan forces along with several other soldiers.”

Nice, Zip. It’s almost as if Bush, in the early days after 9/11, crafted a plan to get the terrorists to fight us all over the far side of the world to keep them away from here.
So Barry is now personally sending out some of his muzzie minions as suicide bombers?

Freud said it best:
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.
Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or “projecting,” those same faults onto another person or object.
American, hah! My ass. Well, technically anyway he was, a Somali male born to Somali immigrants brought to Minnesota courtesy of the Lutherans. But American? ‘Bout as much as…well, more than Obama.
