Ah, the UN must snatch disaster from the jaws of victory before it is too late. Stop the fighting before the problem is solved! /tu

Not a week ago, the Islamists were poised to take over the entire freaking nation. Now they're back on their heels. Can someone please tell me where the idea of the fierce Islamic warrior came from? I haven't seen an islamic force yet that hasn't been turned into tomato bisque by even the most outdated military.

I wish we could but I suspect there are legal issues involved with supporting foreign troops.

The Ethiopians know how to handle the situation, unlike our "Welcome Wagon" approach to war.

Bad idea. They need to wipe them out.

Can we borrow these Ethiopian troops and let them loose in Iraq for a few weeks?

The problem in Iraq is not the troops. I'd be more in favor of borrowing the Ethiopian politicians and using them in Washington.

An African force authoritized by the Security Council on Dec. 6 to protect the Somali government has not yet been deployed.

Another glaring example of the result of waiting for the UN to accomplish ANYTHING.

Let us Convert them, just like the Mooslims did in Persia, in 651, Christ or Kenya.

""...Somalia's internationally backed government..."

Oh, really? I guess "backed" means something different to the "international" community.

It must be nice to be able to wage war without "hearts and minds" concerns.

Forget Surrender!

Kill them all and be done with it.

Every single one of them. Leave them alive, and they'll be back to try again.

I understand. I would just hire the Ethiopians as independent contractors and not as part of the coalition command.

No harm in making nicey nice comments, as long as they keep killing them while they do it.
