Here we are again, using our superior military might to blast another pitiful third world country, another pitiful Muslim third world country back to the Stone Age as Washington likes to say.

This time we are back for another go-around in Somalia. Remember Black Hawk Down, when American Special Forces got their butts kicked by third world war lords whose only piece of military equipment was a pickup truck converted into an African Humvee?

I know we all thought we had left that country, but never let it be said that we don't get even. . . even if it takes years.

Right now we have Ethiopia as our front man in this war, but Monday we had the chance to fry some fish, or is it shoot some turkeys? Either way, we sent an AC-130 gunship to blast a group of 200 Muslim "extremists" who were running from Ethiopian troops.

Now get this, CBS news reports the AC-130 flew from its base in Dijibouti. I had to ask, where the heck is that? Well, Google tells me that it is really spelled Djibouti, and it is a little country next to Somalia, where, get this, we have a military base.

That shouldn't have surprised me, because we have something like a 150 bases all over the world. Having an American Strike Force in that part of the world should not surprise anyone. What would be surprising is if that was the only one.

CBS also reports that we have an aircraft carrier battle group heading for Somalia from the Persian Gulf led by the carrier Eisenhower. When people write about how our military is the most powerful military in the history of the world, they are not kidding.

So when we get the chance to slaughter a couple hundred Muslims in one shot, what better weapon that one of our gunships? In a matter of seconds that gunship can put a bullet in every square inch of a football field. Slaughter is the right word.

I am not a Muslim, and truth be told, I have never met a Muslim. I will tell you this though, I don't plan on moving any place near where there are Muslims, because America sure doesn't like them.
