The last time Sharif was engaged in a war, they also announced the exact date that they will attack Baidoa. So no difference if he announces the date as well this time around.

lol...This time shacabkaa looga digayaa inay wax gaaraan...Plus it is not Baidao now and it is not 2006.

Nah. I don't that they are afraid of helicopters...sidii tii Itoobiyaanka ee Muqdisho ay ku soo rideen bay ugu baashaalayaan. They are afraid of ciidammo Soomaaliyeed oo aan qabyaalad lagu soo soocin oo Soomaali oo dhan ka mid tahay oo uu shacabka Soomaaliyeed iyo caalamku ay taageerayaan.

^Shacabkaa la jiray waagaas, that ground support is pretty much gone this time after Caddow and other fellas were assassinated in Xamar.

Shariif subscribes to the manly culture of the 'bare-foots' of Kandahar. Idin ma gaadayo ee car ii soo baxa maalinkaas!! lool!

[dambarsame]

how could somali community recover its mental clannish criteria? I am afraid even tha said TFG arms have been selected in a tribal lineage system

so they could harm civilians just for their clan affiliations

Lets see if the arden TFG cheerleaders and their Peace Caravan can really deliver!

 

Today they have been pushed several hundred metres behind Global Hotel - Lets see how far they will run tomorrow!

 

As for the so-called imminent war - the reality on the ground needs to be taken into account when deciding matters. By now it has become clear that the feeble TFG cannot defeat the Mujahideen alone - even with the so-called newly trained soldiers. So their only option is an American intervention.

 

This, though, might prove a great disadvantage - for if the Americans get involved, their role will only be limited to reconnaissance missions and perhaps searching for some targets on their list - but I do not see them directly getting involved in this war. So the TFG wouldn't gain much for this love affair.

 

They might provide logistical support, ammunition, communications equipment, surveillance etc, but they won't get involved on land - for if they do that they know that the number of fighters will dramatically increase. Certainly, they do not wish to see the return of the Black Hawk Down debacle. They are not ready to face another humiliating defeat from the 'skinnies on the roof'

 

But whatever the situation may be - we can be certain that the TFG can never gain more than it currently occupies - and if, by a stroke of fortune, it does, it will not be able to hold it.

 

But of course time will tell. As for me - I am beginning to see the beginning of the end of the TFG. But of course, time will tell...

^You sound subdued!

Lets employ shax analogy here

 

TFG military strategy has been to guard and defend the King (Ugaas i.e. Sharif) while alshabaab strategy has been to attack the King without firstly capturing all the vital pieces of the game. Surely one’s attack on the King would remain in vain when the knights, the bishops, the rooks, and above all the all-powerful queen are all positioned to check and capture the attacking pieces. Now since the number of alshabaab pieces has greatly diminished, Sharif and its officers have an advantage. Rooks will move on their straight paths, destroying the unfortunate pieces, the bishops will demolish all those in their diagonal paths, and the queen will mercilessly with her stealth move kill all those in her path. And the knights will jump over to capture distant alshabaab pawns and officers…even Kismayo and Baydhabo will not be safe.

 

It’s not the function of the King to capture or kill at this stage of the game, but he will sure continue with his gentle strokes on his beard knowing conditions are set for a historical triumph.

 

Defend-the-King strategy has worked superbly indeed

 

Alshabaab and its Keligii Muslim theology will be a suitable joke for the years to come

[GAAROODI]

why would you state the exact day you will attack your enemy, you ruin the best part of war, the element of surprise. just by declaring the date they will now expect him and be prepared,

 

- they have the element of time

- they will evade him

- they will use gorilla tak tic

- they will say he has western support

 

i dont think it will go anywhere.

[Sherban Shabeel]

Maybe the attack is going to happen on the 14th, maybe on the 16th, maybe now.

 

A statement can serve many purposes.

This new role President Sheik Sharif is taking looks very promising from this angle but as many people here have said time will tell. It is also interesting to see United States of America is playing a sizeable role in this new effort. If Mogadishu is secured by government forces whenever this "cleansing" takes place, then President Sheik Sharif will face his hardest assignment yet: bringing peace and stability. The quality of this new army, and President Sheik Sharif's wit will determine the success of this endeavour!
