Somali Islamists say U.S. terror listing forges unity

Islamist insurgents in Somalia say their inclusion on a U.S. terrorism list will help recruiting and has spurred them to strengthen ties with other groups blacklisted by Washington.

"We were not terrorists," rebel commander Mukhtar Ali Robow told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location.

"But now we've been designated ... we have been forced to seek out and unite with any Muslims on the list against the United States," he said late on Thursday.

Yes, that's right.  We're "forcing" terrorist groups to unite with one another.  If only we'd take them off the list, they'd turn their backs on other terrorist organizations that they've forged alliances with.

It all makes PERFECT SENSE NOW!

Do these idiots really think anyone's going to buy that line of bullshit?

Somalia's Western-backed interim government and its Ethiopian military allies have faced an Iraq-style insurgency of assassinations, grenade attacks and roadside bombings since they routed the Islamic courts group from the capital in December 2006.

Clearly the United States has forced these poor people into building the bomb, planting it in the ground, and detonating it when an unsuspecting person walks by.  Yep, the good old US of A is great at mind controlling the weak.
