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

"Let's hope they have a better after-plan when they attain Mission Accomplished."

Let's hope they don't have a Democratic Party.

MOGADISHU, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Somali Islamists warned Ethiopian troops advancing on the capital on Tuesday that any attempt to seize their Mogadishu stronghold would end in disaster for the attackers.

"It will be their destruction and doomsday," Islamist spokesman Abdi Kafi told Reuters. "It is a matter of time before we start striking at them from all directions". http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L26332959.htm

Just doing the work our PC politicians are too lazy to do . . . Now could we outsource Iraq?

"The Arab League, which has mediated several rounds of talks between the Somali Government and the Islamists, called for all parties involved to "immediately hold a comprehensive ceasefire".

I wonder if they'd be calling for the same should Islamofascists have invaded Ethiopia.

I really hope the Ethiopians smash any islamo-terrorist in their way. Otherwise they will pop up after the battle and launch their cowardly attacks.

As a longterm solution Somalia has to be divided. The north is relatively stable and free of Islamo-terrorist influence. They seek independence since years, and I think it's time to seperate them from the Islamist-infested south. I also wouldn't mind if Ethiopia takes parts of Somalia for itself. They used to have harbours and access to the sea, before Eritrea got independent.

The Arab League has been busy stoking the problems all along. The Saudi-supported Arab Wahabbists that went into Somalia are largely responsible for this most recent round of problems.

It's the Arab way of war. Evade your enemy until he gets tired, swarm any stragglers

It doesn't always work. Particularly when your enemy gets to your own turf

When Rome finally conquered Carthage, they killed all the men, the women and children were enslaved and despersed throughout the Empire. Then they leveled the city and spread salt on the fields so nothing would ever grow there again. They had no further trouble with Carthage. After that example, they had no further trouble with anyone for centuries

I see no utility to the West to leave anything standing in Mogadishu

Maybe when they are through with Somalia, we could load'em up and turn them loose on the Sunni Triangle. I'd be willing to bet that their leadership doesn't give a rat's as about international opinion or domestic political polls.

You can tell when a Muslim in in trouble. He starts warning you of all the hurt he's going to put on you

You have assumed that W's paln was flawed. It is working but not as fast as the pacifist cowards want it to work.
