This story is 'breaking news' over at Ynet.

And... let's not be pu**ies about this. This is incredibly good news.

2,000 islamic terrorists -- yes TERRORISTS -- are now DEAD. Ethiopia done did good.

Maybe we need em in Iraq?

[elhombrelibre]

2,000 dead terrorists is a good day, and often even a good week.

Thanks Ethiopia. You, at least, recognize evil when you see it.

2000? The Ethiopians knew where they were and used serious ordnance.

I always thought the term "Ethiopian army" was some kinda joke. Maybe not?

In countries like that, the army is probably the one thing that works somewhat.

Starving Africans are smarter than rich, fat Liberals! Sometimes it takes a bit of suffering to clear the senses.

Go Ethiopia!

Some of those militia guys were dressed like sidemen for Bootsie Collins and P-Funk. I wonder if terrorists have a B league.

[Lancey Howard]

Have any Ethiopian soldiers been charged by the Ethiopian military with murder yet?

Rest assured - the US did not give a "Green Light" on this (if you know what I mean).

[river rat]

This is more like it....
Now - to kill between 2,000 and 20,000 per day, should start showing some effect in a decade or two...

"What is best in life?" To crush the jihadists, to drive their minions before you and to hear the lamentations of their mullahs1 allahu fubar!

It's a start.

The Ethiopian army fought an invasion Mussolini's fascist troops 1935-1936. There were tank battles and dogfights that were technically advanced for that time period, let alone in Africa. The Italians eventually won and the League of Nations, of course, did nothing. There was "peace in our time".

We get all excited when our guys get 2-3 of the baddies.

Fox News (I think that's where I saw it) says we have been training the Ethopians.

Apparently they are quick learners.
