Dubya hit Somalia to deflect attention away from his failures in Iraq. "Wag the Dog" some call it.
Bush criticized Clinton for carrying out similar surgical strikes and called them antiseptic and impotent.

President Bush stated on 9-12-2001 that he would hunt down and kill all terrorists around the world. Bush is taking out Somalia this week, and next week you will see him looking harder at Iran. The Baker report wants Bush to talk to Iran yet Iran is a harbor nation of terror and a target in theis war on terror.
Like I have said time and time again teh dem's will take credit of all the good things in the nation and leave the blame for Bush.

Of course, its about the oil. Yes, we are protecting oil interests in Somalia. Since 1986, four U.S. oil companies, Conoco, Amoco, Chevron and Phillips have owned and occupied 2/3rds of Somolia, thanks to Somalia's over thrown President Mohamed Siad Barre. In 1993, at the end of his term, GBush, Sr. sent our marines to Somalia. Clinton was left to mop up and take the heat for it. History continues to repeat itself. Wouldn't it be nice if we would learn our history and pay attention?
We do not have the right to steal other folks resources just because we refuse to conserve our own. I don't want our economy to be unstable either. That's why it does matter who is elected President. Our beloved country is closed to being bankrupt.

THre president made it clear in 2001; he was going to hunt down terrorists and the countries supporting them and harboring them, the Somali GOvt. approved of the attacks and therefore the idea that we are bombing terrorists camps in Somalia just because were after the oil is laughable to say the least.

It does negate the theory that the USA is ONLY interested in oil. This is an impossible theory to uphold anyway.
It says nothing about the theory that the US is interested in oil.
