Castro Posted January 15, 2007 The Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Meles Zenawi, must have been studying the magnificent successes of the U.S. preemptive invasion of Iraq and Israel's recent foray into Lebanon. He has clearly decided to emulate them. His argument is exactly that which was given by George W. Bush and Ehud Olmert. We must attack our neighbor because we have to keep Islamic terrorists from pursuing their jihad and attacking us. In each case, the invader was sure of his military superiority and of the fact that the majority of the population would hail the attackers as liberators. Zenawi asserts he is cooperating in the U.S. worldwide struggle against terrorism. And indeed, the United States has offered not only its intelligence support but has sent in both its air force and units of special troops to assist the Ethiopians. Read the rest of the article here.

Centurion Posted January 15, 2007 the magnificent successes of the U.S. preemptive invasion of Iraq and Israel's recent foray into Lebanon. Both military catastrophes. The US has seen its military capacity dwindle whilst her troops face insurgencies day in day out. Israel all but lost to Hamas.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castro Posted January 15, 2007 Iraqis are split between Shia and Sunni. The Lebanese, Sunni, Shia, Christan and Druze. Though two of those four are always united. Somalis, on the other hand, are split tens of ways. Even within a clan, you have feuding subclans that are ready to sell off their own brethren. The end result: you have the whole country under occupation and men with borrowed testicles taunting us about their presence in Muqdisho. But worst of all are the nitwits around here that cheer the occupiers. Uff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
