"Many Somalis are enraged by Ethiopian involvement ..."
Muslims get enraged over anything and everything. Ethiopia should just kill all the Somalis.

If anyone is starting an Ethopia ping list? If so, I'd like to be on it.

Something tells me Ethiopia's rules of engagement are a bit different than what ours would be.

I have a hunchx, just a peculiar feeling mind you, that if the Ethiopians make it to Mogadishu that they will not have a problem supporting their infantry with tanks, airstrikes, artillery, and any other heavy the have at their disposal.
The WOT would be over now if we could somehow fuse their political will with our "biggest can of whoop-a$$ on the planet" military. < sigh >

I doubt they will make it there. Klinton will surely withdraw them before the achieve victory.

Well, just to set the record straight, we won the war in Iraq in mid 2003. We have not completed the reconstruction efforts yet. Now for "Mission Accomplished". It was for the war and the returning troops President Bush was addressing. Democrats, MSM and others just like to twist the words and meanings to suit their own needs. They are undermining this country.
I find that the people who only get their news from the MSM have formed the opinion that we should have completed the 10 year construction in 1 year with a complete government up and running, and had peace and calm in the world. How long did it take for the reconstruction in Germany or Japan and to establish a working democratic government?
Well, have a Happy and healthy New Year

Maybe we should reconsider the wisdom of starting anything until our ROE are more in line with "General, use everything you have on anything the enemy could hide in and everyone that does'nt have Old Glory sewed on their sleeve."

i wish success to the ethiopians-they are not looking to annex somalia,but to rout out the islamists who've got control there-we ought to give them some air support(i.e.AC 130's) to help them in this struggle-it's every bit as important as defeating hezbollah-notice the UN jew hater crew hasn't gotten on the backs of the ethiopians....hmmm?and the lousy peanut farmer hasn't reared his head either-they're very selective-wonder why??
To: livius
The Saudi-supported Arab Wahabbists that went into Somalia are largely responsible for this most recent round of problems.Quick, let's consult James Baker as to what to do.

Since they don't tolerate back stabbers and treason, they will do fine until the world wide mediots go after them.

To: steamroller
yes, its tempting to think that giving them US air support would be a good idea. but as soon as one US plane killed a "somali civilian", all hell would break loose.
let the ethiopians go in there, and do whatever it takes to win.

LOL! - Baker would suggest we resettle the Somalian Jihadis in Jerusalem.

The Ethiopians have the right stuff, I just read that their Army has issued a statement that anyone carrying a Gun
that is not wearing a Uniform will be considered a Terrorist. We should have adopted that position in Iraq.

...Let's hope they have a better after-plan when they attain Mission Accomplished...FYI the "Mission Accomplished", to which you are referring, was a banner on the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln that signified the CARRIERS mission was accomplished.
If you recall the carrier was returning to port after it's mission during the initial Iraq invasion. President Bush flew onto the carrier to make a speech.
