despite a statement by European Commission humanitarian chief Louis Michel on Wednesday that he had secured the commitment of both sides to observe a truce and resume peace talks.

It's long since time that cease fires and good intentions be removed from further consideration in international disputes.

It's time to fight wars to d definitive conclusion and let the stronger side win...no matter the civilian or military cost.

"The world is silent today while Ethiopian forces are killing us inside our country

The world is eating popcorn watching the show at this point.

Agree.

"Most of those killed are innocent children who have been sent to the frontline. It is unfortunate because we have been forced into this ... we do not like shedding the blood of children," Jama added."

I feel for the Ethiopian forces that will be confronted by these tactics. Iraq faced these "human waves", in its war with Islamic Iran and didn't do too well. Firing on human waves of twelve year olds proved difficult for the Iraqi troops. I think that is why Saddam began to use poison gas shells. If we are truly engaged in a war with radical Islam, then our troops will see such tactics used against them at some point. They will have to do what is necessary...America needs to do some deep soul searching. The cost of winning this war will be higher then anything except losing it.

""The world is silent today while Ethiopian forces are killing us inside our country, but tomorrow when we defeat them and chase them things will be changed, we will inter their territories and at that moment the world will shout," Sulley warned."

Dude, there is a reason for that. Most of the sane world is sick of the islamofacist bullsh*t that they don't care anymore if y'all are butchered like the hog that is going to be dinner.

"It's time to fight wars to d definitive conclusion...."

I subscribe to Sherman's philosophy. Make it so horrible they will never want to do it again. War is a nasty game with only one rule, people die. Let the children play till they get tired of it.

[chuckles]

I'm waiting for Ethiopia to break out the Ark Of the Covenant and really do some killin. I wonder if the Islamic scum would figure out they are rootin for the wrong god then.

This war is a religious obligation and we are here to fight for our religion against the enemies until we die."

Oblige large numbers of them.

To the last whelp...

God bless Ethiopia as they fight to keep Somalia from turning into the next Al Qaeda redoubt. They are fighting a war that must be won or Al Qaeda will sit astride the horn of Africa and important shipping lanes and have a new training ground for their terrorism. Ethiopia is saving us and the rest of the civilized world a lot of grief. They are literally on the front lines of preventing the spread of the Islamic radical cancer into Africa. We need to supply them with whatever they need to defeat these Islamist parasites.

The Islamic forces don't mind. Not at all.

...on a similiar note, this psychological impact inspired the Third Reich to institute the gas chamber.

The very idea of using our children as weapons or bait is inconceivable and would never even occur to the Western Mind. Their actions in this regard alone highlights the difference between Islamic Wahabbi culture and almost all other cultures.

...on a similar note, this psychological impact inspired the Third Reich to institute the gas chamber.

Yes the pychcology is the same. The chambers allowed the Germans to "detach" themselves from the horror being done. The gas shells put the same kind of psychological distance between the Iraqi troops and their horrific target.

Funny you should mention that. I sent out an email rant to about 30 people on 9/12/2001, that included this quote from WTS:

"We cannot change the hearts of those people, but we can make war so terrible...[and] make them so sick of war that generations would pass away before they would again appeal to it."

"The Islamists have complained about the silence of the Arab League and African Union over the dispute.

"Why are they ignoring what is taking place in the ground?" asked Sheikh Mohamoud Ibrahim Sulley, a leading Islamist official.

"The world is silent today while Ethiopian forces are killing us inside our country, but tomorrow when we defeat them and chase them things will be changed, we will inter their territories and at that moment the world will shout," Sulley warned."

I have a feeling the Ethiopia is the African Union and the rest of the world speaking out. I hope our government is backing Ethiopia with money, material and advisers.

So there are others out there who will fight these monsters.
