Little known fact is the contingent of Ethiopian troops who fought in Korea in 1952 and 1953. according to SLA Marshall (Pork chop Hill) they were without equal in the field.

The "Lion of Judah" being revealed?

Sure there is... The difference between "employer" and "employee"... ;)

"And, for what it's worth, an unmarked AC-130 has been spotted in the area."

Why do I get the feeling that more than a few billion greenbacks and some military equipment fell off the truck in Addis Ababa recently.

Barbaric islamic terrorists are being swept aside by Christian armies in Somalia...

Are Islamics the very worst fighters on the globe, or are the French?

One proposition:

, the Islamists insisted their withdrawal and re-grouping was a tactic in what they vowed would be a long war

"Long war" is Islamist code for dressing as civilians and hiding among women and children and storing their weapons in mosques and hospitals.

Many Somalis are enraged by Ethiopian involvement ...

Well maybe all the islamo-somalies gang-bangers & cab drivers here in Minnesota will leave here and go to fight the Ethipians.

Would make my job easier.

I find that the people who only get their news from the MSM have formed the opinion...

More and more of that going on over the last six years at FR. It was never like that before. Even in a thread like this, you see it.

It's the MSM conservatives. They think conservative but have their worst fears confirmed for them by the MSM.

...like the MSM really cares.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but I had no idea the Ethiopians even had jets. Is that where all that Sally Struther's cash was going? Because I would have maybe come up with a few dollars more if I knew they were going to bomb Islamists.

Islamic armies seem to have "retreat" in common.

When confronted with troops they fail.

They seem to have their best success against unsuspecting women and children in marketplaces or on their way to schools.

**Notice how the Islamonazis lose every pitced battle they fight? They're only good at blowing up women and kids in markets.**

Bingo! Only the weak in spirit would choose such evil in the first place.
