"The fighting is going on," Dinari said. "We hope they will either surrender or be killed by our troops."

I've got my fingers crossed for the latter!

Pay attention America. This is what happens if you ignore the UN and the anti war crowd.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has pressed the international community to send in peacekeepers quickly

For the life of me, I don't know why we haven't joined in that fight. I know SEALs have a presence there, but the surrounded Islamofascists should be eradicated by the USMC. In and out in two days.

They should do just what the militants to- drive them into one area- then just open up fire on everyone in a big bloody massacre- send a stout message to the rest of the terrorist scum that they are not wanted in that country- the Ethipeans aren't bound by political correctness and should take advantager of that and fight this war the way a war should be fought- Kofi though I'm sure will rub the skin off his hands in his handwringing marathon but oh well. http://sacredscoop.com

I hope the terrorist try to cross Kenya's border so they could be pancaked by Ethiopian, Somalian, and Kenya forces.

Apparently labeling soccer as un-Islamic and banning it is not such a crowd pleaser in a few countries.

I don't believe any of this stuff. Sorry. These are terrorist ragamuffins blended in with the skinnies. How can you do serious damage to a ghost army? It's great that they are run off for the time being, but does anyone seriously think there is a substantial degradation of the number of supporters and fighters because of Ethiopia's show of force? This is why our VP said the war will take 30,40 or 50 years before you can declare victory. Victory being the re-bottling of the islamic pathogen. The antigen to Islamic fanaticism is a periodic show of force? I doubt it. The antigen is destruction of the homeland of the most militant. Not sure if you have to punish more than just Iran to get the tide turned. Sure there will be Shia riots in sunni controlled regions and all that. Worth it to take down their nuclear program. Nukes make Tyrants as powerful as Defenders of Freedom.

I just love Al-Reuters'story:

Somali militia attack revives fears of chaos 12:53pm ET
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali gunmen attacked an oil tanker truck near Mogadishu on Thursday, wounding three people and raising fears of a return to the clan violence that had largely stopped during six months of Islamist rule.

We must remember that life is so nice and peaceful under Islamist rule. /s

"France is finding out how it gets started"






"October 19, 2006: French special operations troops appear to be overcommitted, so 200 French commandos are being pulled from Afghanistan, where they have been since 2003, looking for terrorist leaders. France has already got a lot of operators operating across Africa. Apparently France is building up their special operations capability in Djibouti, possibly in anticipation of problems in Eritrea and Somalia, both of which are involved in disputes with Ethiopia. The Addis Ababa-Djibouti railroad is pretty lucrative for Djibouti and France, and fighting between Ethiopia and either of its neighbors could create problems there. American Special Forces in Djibouti have a base near the main French one.

The MSN is full of garbage. They truly are terrorist supporters. I wouldn't doubt they "contribute" financially to the scum.
