Of course, the targets themselves are certainly not feeling much rage at the moment.

I think being merely enraged is an improvement over their current state: Psychopathicly murderous.

Ok cool, so when our guys get killed we can all get ENRAGED and strike back in revenge. And best of all it’s not our fault that we retaliate because it was they that caused our rage.

I like this process of reasoning!

Hmmm… how to fight the terrorists? Well, if killing their leaders enrages them and makes things worse, then, logically, if we were to send their leaders large sums of cash and food, and then provide them visas and free transportation to America, together with subsidized housing and dates with attractive women, and government sponsored health care at the taxpayers expense, we would probably cripple AQ within a few short days.

“Infidel planes bombed Dusamareb,” Shabaab spokesman Mukhtar Ali Robow told Reuters by phone

Yep, and the bomb was filled with pork…so how do you like us “infidels” now biatch!!

But it is sure to enrage Ayro’s fellow militants, who say they are fighting a jihad to eject Ethiopian troops.

Oh yeah no Caliphate agenda here, they’re just poor oppressed freedom fighters fighting to eject the Ethiopian invaders! That excuse sounds familiar; they’re borrowing a play from the Hamas playbook!

As far as “enraging them” who gives a rats azz, they hate all of us “infidels” anyway therefore any excuse will do for them, something the leftards have yet to figure out because they’re so mired down in PC!!

Oh come on. Let’s ignore the parts about ‘biggest success’, let’s ignore the ‘bolster the Western-backed Somali government’s efforts to stem’, but let’s focus on the ‘sure to enrage’ (which should only be noticed for stating the painfully obvious) instead.

Damn those one-eyed journalists!

Reuters is the British wire news service, isn’t it. The English on the whole have surrendered their bollacks long ago.

A large amount of their income is derived from providing wire service and editorial to arab countries.

It’s got nothing to do with bollocks – it is simple economics for them.

Remember when Eason Jordan smeared American troops as “targeting” journalists? Yet when Al-Qaeda does it somehow it isn’t “news”.

When we deal a blow to AQ it enrages them and makes them more powerful.

If AQ deals a blow to us, then it empowers them and makes them more powerful.

That is pretty neat circle of logic all of the news wire services have.

There was no AQ in Somalia before the invasion. Getting Ethiopia out of Somalia will solve the problem. Al Shabaab is not really AQ. We’re just making more jihadis by engaging them there (Just thought I’d beat Code Pink/dKos to the punch).

I have to think that leadership succession for AQ is done by gunpoint Lately, the longevity factor for their “leaders” seems to diminish on a daily basis.

I don’t think it’s possible to “enrage” terrorists any more that they already are. They seem to exist in a state of continual enragement.

We’re counting on their rage to make them noisy and clumsy and easier to target for the next go round.

Payback time for Black Hawk Down.

AQ will eventually mean All Quit.

Either terrorism or this planet.

Reuters is wrong, when you slap people they get enraged, when you kill their leaders they get scared.
