In August ten villagers in Somalia were killed in a military raid conducted by US and Somali troops. According to a recent investigation by the Daily Beast, they were killed by Americans. A subsequent Pentagon/AFRICOM investigation claimed that those killed were all enemy combatants. Who’s telling the truth? But more importantly, why are American troops even operating in a country like Somalia. There are no legitimate threats to the US in Somalia. The only threats will come if the US continues to kill civilians, which leads to radicalization of the population. More in today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

The problem with having troops everywhere is you can get blamed. We know for sure the Germans didn’t do it, no German troops within 2000 miles. There are dead people, and there are American troops in the vicinity. So right or wrong the accusation can be made and will be accepted as true by 20% of the population. Just like the Obama is a Kenyan thing.
