Ron Shirt 2 Posted December 10, 2011 It seems odd to me, but I guess this is the direction propaganda is heading. I don't understand why you should find it odd. To fight modern warfare you need modern weapons. I find it a great shame that human being can't sort out their differences without resorting to physical violence. But I think you will find 'propaganda' on this forum, as well as elswhere. Surely it is only the 'truth' that matters? I've never really agreed with (or felt a part of) the herd instinct myself, although I do feel it's pull sometimes. Salaam, ron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was just odd in the sense of being novel to me, especially in combination with Al-Shabaab. This is more about me and my preconceptions than a judgment about Al-Shabaab or Twitter. I mean, now that it has been demonstrated, it certainly does make sense. And I agree with you, it would be a much better world if our differences could be resolved without physical violence.

SaracenSoldier 130 Posted December 11, 2011 This twitter thing is really interesting. The Shabaab twitter and the Kenya Military Spokesman(plus others) are having a go at each other lol fascinating. Kenya Military Spokesman said: "currently strength 9,700. Additional troops from Djib, Buru & Ug to be deplyd coming months. Totat = UN-mandated ceiling of 12K" in reply Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen Press Office: "50,000 Ethiopian troops couldn't pacify Somalia; you think a few disillusioned & disinclined Kenyan boys are up to the task?"
