Why was this thread removed from "Breaking News?"

"I would guess that W has advisors somewhere within the advancing force."
What makes you say that? The Ethiopians are winning. After nearly four years Bush says "we're not winning; we're not losing" in Iraq.
My suggestion is give them the equipment they need and let them do their job.

Because, silly, it's actually breaking news. All that's allowed in the BN sidebar these days seems to be stale, 3-day (at least) old stuff.

I realize that a lot of stuff is posted on "breaking news" that is neither breaking nor news of any national or international significance, but this really is breaking news IMHO.

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.

You don't know what fun is, until you have a LIVE thread, such as a White House event, pulled while the event is going on. I have.

one former SICC fighter told Reuters. "Most of our leaders have fled." Has the world ever seen more cowardly leadership than the Islamists? Ayatollah Khomeini fled to Paris, bin Laden and the Tali-ban leaders to caves in Pakistan, Saddam to his rat hole, and now these guys.

I wonder what the ROEs were.

One report yestereday did say that the Islamics had surrendered.
I think that meant Islamists, not Islamics.
Also, I thought that the leaders had scooted off, but not surrendered, per se. They told their thugs to "secure the stability" ...just because they decided not to fight it out in Mogodishu doesn't mean they're gone.

let the suicide bombings begin........then the Somali Study Group (SSG) can rubber stamp Al Jazeera news and the UNaccountable bureaucrats to close the method-of-operation loop.

this is somewhat embarrasing when Ethiopia kicks Islamic ass in 3 days and Bush can't do it in 3 years
maybe W can learn a lesson that kicking ass is the way to go
none of this Athens on the Tigris nonsense

Ethiopia is not Iraq. Ethiopia has a Christian majority. The majority of Iraqis are Shiite as are the majority in Iran. Sorry, but I don't see a parallel.

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.....
