Somaliland accuses US of illegal incursion

[cal04]

The Government of Somaliland in north-eastern Somalia has accused the United States of violating its air space. The accusation follows another that US Marines landed in the area looking for terrorists last week.

Authorities in Somaliland - a self declared region in northern Somalia - say a United States helicopter entered their air space last week without permission.
They claim the crew took photographs of the port, airport and coastguard base at the town of Berbera.

Residents still say US Marines landed and showed them pictures of wanted terrorists, reports the United States has denied. US officials say the reports have confused military exercises conducted off neighbouring Djibouti 400 kilometres away, but Somaliland plans to lodge a formal complaint.

Any United States entry into Somalia would be controversial after the battles that occurred when US forces raided warlords in the capital Mogadishu in 1993.

1. And we never went into Cambodia either.

2. Is it illegal to invade a make-believe country?

Just because you've declared your independence doesn't make you an independent state. Thus, no "violation of air space" can occur.

4. So? The fact that the Busheviks denied it only makes it more likely to be

true.

It's not as if we live in Free America, the Old Republic. That place is gone, gone, gone.

And, believe you me, if you think the AE (Amerikan Empire) has ANY compunction about lying to the Imperial Subjects, I suggest you consult a recent history book.

Because it hasn't been pretty since the Transformation and Sovietification started in 2000.

If the AE denied it, I am more likely to believe it, just as if I lived in the Old Soviet Union (which the AE resembles more closely every day) during Brezhnev's time.

Wake up and smell the stench of the Bush Imperial ass that sits on the backs of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika.

Smells like Brezhnev...

Your tagline has some pretty damning statements!

Enough to make a Freeper's brain explode due to the confusion arising from all the years of training telling him that the truth would be otherwise!
