Isn’t this racist?
Somali terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda are using portraits of Barack Obama for their target practice.

The AP reported, via Islam in Europe:
The recruits gather in scorching desert hideouts in Somalia, use portraits of President Barack Obama for target practice, learn how to make and detonate bombs, and vow allegiance to Osama bin Laden.
Training camps in the lawless nation of Somalia are attracting hundreds of foreigners, including Americans, and Somalis recruited by a local insurgent group linked to al-Qaida, according to local and U.S. officials. American officials and private analysts say the camps pose a security threat far beyond the borders of Somalia, including to the U.S. homeland.
In interviews with The Associated Press, former trainees gave rare details on the camps, which are scattered along desert footpaths, rutted roads and steamy coastal dens. They say the recruits are told the United States is the enemy of Islam.
U.S. and Somali officials say Somalia’s al-Shabab jihadist, or holy war, movement is growing, and uses foreign trainers with battlefield experience from other conflicts.
The threat posed by the training camps was underscored in federal court documents unsealed Nov. 23 in Minneapolis, home to a large Somali-American community. An indictment against several Somali-Americans who allegedly fought in Somalia said trainees at one camp included dozens of ethnic Somalis from Somalia and other African countries, Europe and the United States.
“The trainees were trained by, among others, Somali, Arab, and Western instructors in … small arms, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, and military-style tactics,” said an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Michael N. Cannizzaro Jr. that was unsealed with the indictment.
More Change… The Arabs have stopped applauding Obama.

Of course, they may have been shooting at his white 50%. Or perhaps at his arab 44% – what with arabs being the biggest slave traders over there.
But they certainly wouldn’t shoot at his black 6% —- would they?

Then he’ll be set for his next bow.

Declare war on them:
Congress shall have the power:

This incident will take another three days for obama to act and get his teleprompter up and running.

You know, there are still laws on the books allowing congress to issue “letters of marque” and to commission privateers.
There’s money to be made in the pirate-hunting business.
