RUSH: ‘Defense officials said that the United States military –‘ I\u2019m sorry. Let me rewrite this. Who wrote this? Fox News. They\u2019re slipping up. ‘Defense officials said the US military is considering attacks on Somali pirate bases on land and aid for the people there to help stop the hijacking of ships off Africa\u2019s coast, Bloomberg.com reported.\u2019 This is not Fox, I\u2019m sorry, Bloomberg got it wrong. President Obama\u2019s ‘plan would include helping Somalia create their own coast guard and train security forces.\u2019 That sounds like nation building. The Coast Guard? Oh, I\u2019m sorry. President Obama is going to use the military to attack Somali pirate bases on land and then provide aid for the people in Somalia to help stop the hijacking. The president\u2019s plan would include helping Somalia create their own Coast Guard and trained security forces. <\/p>\n

Now, that sounds strangely similar to exactly what President Bush had in mind in Iraq, does it not? Help me out if I am wrong on this. The second in command on the Maersk Alabama yesterday said, look, this is not solved. We\u2019ve got big problems out there, and these pirates are roaming the oceans, and they\u2019re hijacking everything. He said the world\u2019s gotta come together. And President Obama, with another brilliant plan, I mean this is something nobody would have ever thought of. We\u2019re gonna bomb their land bases, and then we\u2019re going to train their Coast Guard, so we\u2019re going to create a Coast Guard so that Somalis can have a Coast Guard off their own coast to prevent their own pirates from getting out into the open sea. ‘Officials said the plan would be submitted to the Obama administration…\u2019 this is another piece of BS. Here again Bloomberg is trying to portray our brave president as totally detached from this. <\/p>\n

To say that the military\u2019s come up with a plan that they\u2019re going to present to the president — that\u2019s not how it works here. This is Obama\u2019s plan. He\u2019s presented it to the military. Here\u2019s our brave new president. He does great things. So we\u2019re going to tell the Somalis, ‘It\u2019s up to you to stop your own pirates. We\u2019re going to give you you\u2019re own Coast Guard, going to train a Coast Guard, and you stop it.\u2019 It sounds like exactly what the game plan was in Iraq. But I don\u2019t know how we\u2019re going to feed the people of Somalia again. We fed \u2019em back in the nineties, and now we got starving Americans. Have you seen the stories of all the homeless people? Have you seen the stories of all the starving Americans? And we\u2019re going to feed the Somalis again, for the second time in 15 years? Don\u2019t be fooled, folks. Do not be fooled. We\u2019re going to Somalia for the oil. We\u2019re heading in there to do whatever we can to deplete that country of its natural resources as punishment for their sending pirates out there. The only thing not explained in this story is what President Obama\u2019s exit strategy will be from Somalia. But we\u2019ll just have to wait as that unfolds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
