Wiilo Posted December 23, 2006 The similarities between claims the U.S. assistant Secretary of State for African affairs, Jendayi Frazier, is currently making about Somalia and the ones the former Secretary of State Colin Powell made about Iraq are eerie. Below is a summary of the similarities of the claims before the war in Iraq and the impending war in Somalia and the possible similar outcomes. Before The War: IRAQ SOMALIA 1. US accused Iraq of having Al Qaeda ties and being a sanctuary for Al Qaeda. US accused Somalia of having Al Qaeda ties and being a sanctuary for Al Qaeda. 2.

US believes the Somalia war is going to be a Cakewalk. 6. US officials claimed the cost of the war in Iraq would be small. US officials believe the cost of the war in Somalia will be small i.e. outsource it to Ethiopia. 7. American Politicians both Republicans and Democrats enthusiastically supported the Iraq war. American Politicians both Republicans and Democrats are going to enthusiastically support the Somalia war (see Senator Russ Feingold’s support for any action against Somalia). 8. A man (Ahmed Chalabi) with the dream of becoming Iraq's President provided false information to harness American might. A man (Abdullahi Yusuf) with the dream of becoming Somalia's President provided false information to harness American might. After The War: IRAQ SOMALIA 1. Al Qaeda developed strong presence in Iraq. Al Qaeda will develop strong presence in Somalia. 2. Documents presented to prove Iraq tried to get Yellow Cake from Niger are confirmed to be forgeries. Documents presented to prove Somalia was going to attack Kenya and Ethiopia with Suicide Attacks will be found to be forgeries. 3. The US finds all allegations against Iraq were false. The US will find all allegations against Somalia were false. 4. Iraq became a quagmire, destabilizing the region. Somalia will become a quagmire, destabilizing the region. 5.

The goals of the invasion of Iraq have not been achieved and Ahmed Chalabi is not Iraq’s President. The goals of the invasion of Somalia will not be achieved and Abdullahi Yusuf will not be Somalia’s President (He is currently the President of a government in exile for and by the warlords). source: http://www.ayaamaha.net/The%20similarities%20between%20claims.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
