The Kenyan army is waiting at the border and the US Coast Guard is waiting off-shore.
The 'jig' is up for these bad boys.
Ping.
"ultra-loyal rump of 3,000 fighters of the Islamic Courts Union"
Kill em.
I think "oust them" is code for "kill them" (as in "off them").
Where are they going to go? Who's going to want them? They are human garbage and there's only one respectful place for them: the ash-heap of history.
Notice how effective the Ethiopians have been since they ignore the UN and don't face an ani war crowd at home.
This should be rubbed in the face of every anti war liberal in America with the message "You don't end wars, you extend wars and are the true cause of death".
But do they have a plan to win the peace? /sarc
This is a small skirmish but if it proves decisive enough militarily, (all of them dead), it could perhaps inspire enough small skirmishes over the next ,oh, I don't know, ten or twelve years so that eventually ALL of those who can't live on Planet Earth on Planet Earth's own terms, will be DEAD. I think that is what it will take, and I think that is the BEST-case scenario.
Any nation that has the ability to rout and kill these people in large quantities and doesn't isn't a nation worthy of the name. God speed to the Somali and the Ethiopians.
Oops, a few thousand of our new Somalia immigrants are not going to be happy to hear this.

I bet they're really ticked at being called "an ultra-loyal rump!"
Well, it's better than being an ultra-royal lump. I guess.
"Opposite them, Islamist fighters bulldozed trenches and re-armed their front-line soldiers."
Sounds like these creatures want to stand and fight. Good! They'll all die. The Ethiopians will see to that. :)
Muskies Last Stand. That has a pleasant ring to it.
"We would like to capture or kill these guys at any cost," Mr Gedi said. "They are the root of the problem."
We may have just found our next Republican presidential nominee.
The political handlers may want to buff up his name from Mohamed to Mike and from Ali to Al and change Gedi to Gideon. Michael Alan Gideon for president.
I hope the liberation of Sudan will be next.
