OSAMA BIN LADEN is planning an attack against the United States that will "outdo by far" September 11, an Arab newspaper in London has reported.

"This will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somalia," the operative is quoted saying. "Just as the Taliban control a major part of the Afghan territories."

And there you have it.

President Obama will order an invasion of Somalia (Africa--which Democrats have wanted to recolonize for ages) and redeploy troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.

Wonder how many of his stupid yuppie/yippie/hippie followers will sign up for that one.

Nooo! You're wrong! He's for change! He's not going to spend our money on random invasions like Bush did!

And if he does, it's for the right reasons.

I love obamaniacs.

Is this the international crisis Biden was talking about?

Any guesses to what decisions they make that will be unpopular with Americans that he referred to?

So far, all their projects have been popular. I'm shuddering to think what the unpopular might be.

Reinstituting the peacetime draft?

Defaulting the dollar?

Raising taxes?

There're so many ways to screw us over...

Clearly the phrase "sign up" doesn't mean enlistment, haha.

Forgive for dissenting but I doubt that Obama will do something that stupid.

It's kind of difficult to tell what the government won't do now that the Democrats are in all three houses.
