Given the overt strikes in Somalia, my very strong suspicion is that the whole Ethiopian invasion was a US covert operation - probably with the support of US Special Forces and air power, as well as logistical support.Absolutely it's no secret we have special ops troops in Djibouti. I also read today they are expecting American boots on the ground in Somalia soon.

I heard the same thing...
It said something like we will work with "others" to deal with Iran.
Basically: Israel.

I can't help but wonder: Why is Brit calling the war in Iraq a "conflict"?

Biggest news from the speech
Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity and stabilizing the region in the face of the extremist challenge. This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.

Will the troops like this speech?<
Heck, yeah..."cut-and-run" talk pisses 'em off. This is the opposite.
The Iraqis will like this, too.

There's always a learning curve in war. Look to Vietnam, Korea, the World Wars, the Civil War, and the Revolution.

From the speech
"We are also taking other steps to bolster the security of Iraq and protect American interests in the Middle East. I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region. We will expand intelligence sharing and deploy Patriot air defense systems to reassure our friends and allies. We will work with the governments of Turkey and Iraq to help them resolve problems along their border. And we will work with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating the region."

Brit Hume immediately mentioned that at this stage in President Bush's term that the delivery of the speech...being monotoned and straightforward vs uplifting...doesn't matter.
It's the results....
