However diplomatic sources say that at least 6,000 Ethiopian troops are now inside Somalia supporting the interim government of Somalia. Sunday's stand-off is the closest the two sides have come to a full-scale confrontation.

It will happen.

The only solution is to buy orange jumpsuits and kneel over some freindly muslim will then end all your problems with their favored head-ectomy.
Mohammed was a warrior who founded the religion of hate.
It is time to send his followers to their beloved Mohammed.

Shouldn't we be diverting a few ACs to this fight? It is, after all, one more battle in the war- our war, the Islamist War.

I'd like to see us help in some way. It wouldn't take much. The Ethiopians are more than capable fighters and definitely eager to kick dumb muzzie butt.

Ethiopia has a large Moslem minority in the North. The Moslems have heretofore been Ethiopians first but it makes developments in Somalia especially touchy.

Overlooked your post somehow... Yes, I'd like to see us help. A-10s would be great. As I said, I don't think it would take very much and we'd be sparing so many millions of people the horrible fate of falling into the hands of degenerate muslim butchers.

France should pay close attention to this conflict since they are in the beginning stages of a violent jihad.Every free country should look to Africa to see what the future looks like when Islam is allowed to spread across a country.
