If a little bit of US support for Ethiopia can bring these results just imagine what the support we're giving Iraq's military will do for a potential war with Iran.
Islamists reminds me of the talk-tough kid on the school ground that once confronted runs like a girl.
I sure hope nobody took pictures of the flower-bearing citizens...because they will surely be killed when the Islamics return. Which they probably will.....
Annan is unhappy.
Sounds like Ethiopia should just take over somalia and run it as a colony.
Terrified of yet more violence in a city that has become a byword for chaos, some Mogadishu residents greeted the arriving government troops, while others hid.
Get that? The Mogadishu residents only greeted the government troops because they were terrified. Not because they had a problem with the Islamists. No sir.
And then they had to point out that only "some" of the residents greeted the government troops, "while others hid." Of course, you could say this about any liberation of any city in history. I imagine that during the liberation of Paris in 1944, there were Parisians who "hid." But was that the story?
Freakin' Reuters.
Yeeeee Haaaaa!
Ethiopia can do this because their troops don't have to worry about an army of lawyers micro-examining every action they take, like our troops do. US troops are more afraid of the lawyers than of fighting the enemy. The problem is exacerbated by Congress tying their hands with ridiculous rules of engagement that favor the enemy.
Good for Ethiopia.
I salute them.
Wonderful news -- but nothing on the ABCBSNBCMSNBC networks. Nor on Fox.
Support the Ethiopians !
