Remember, we are dealing with people who still think that this is the 7th Century!

Our Rules of Engagement are meant for an opponent that doesn’t murder innocent civilians, violate the laws of war, or beheads their kidnapped captives.

“Nuance” is a term that they do not understand. And “mercy” is granted only when their submission is complete. That’s what the word “Islam” means, you know: Submission.

Way to go Ethiopia! Some of us are cheering you on.

They are fighting to save their country, their way of life. They are doing what needs to be done. They came to kick some ass and that is what they are doing. The Pentagon would do well to pay attention here.

I’ve said it before … there have been more “innocent” lives lost in our Middle East engagements due to efforts to minimize collateral damage, win hearts and minds, and fight a PC war. If we had gone in with the top priority of getting the job done, done right and done quickly, this would have been over months ago, years maybe.

Right on! This pretty much says it all – let our warfighters do their jobs and then they will be able to do what needs to be done without PC or armchair generals in Congress trying to fight wars from the PCDC.

In the meantime, may God Bless them (our warfighters), the IDF, and the Ethiopian Army in their fight to preserve freedom.

Maybe we can start an American foreign legion with the Ethiopians as the first hires.
If they’re not actually American citizens, political correctness can go out the window.

Um, isn’t that just a little bit redundant?

My how things have changed, I remember when Ethiopia was synamo … sinanim … sinamin … *meant the same thing* as poor and starving. Now they’re showin’ the world how to kick jihadi ass. Big bad brave holy warriors love to brutalize women and children but run like punkass little b*tches in the face of grown men.

Good idea Buck. “BGM-109: Rockin’ The Mog, hit after hit!”

What a shining example and inspiration!

GWB should have the Ethiopian ambassador over for a celebratory toast (sparkling cider for both) to thank his people for doing what needed to be done.

(Where were the usual suspects – the MSM and the UN, et al- protesting the “illegal” methods used by this neighboring government and its troops for “invading” a “sovereign state”?)

Bush’s New Year’s resolution should be “Let’s Go Ethiopian in Iraq!“

Take the gloves off all across the world and the problem gets solved sooner rather than later.
Bravo Ethiopia! Thank you!

I’ve said it here before as well. We need to let our forces to what they are trained to do, fight for freedom!

The mighty Ethopian military has acheived in 2 weeks what needed to be done….perhaps if we took the gloves off and stopped giving a hoot about what the msm. un, dems, etc. think and allowed our forces to do the same we could accomplish the mission.

My first thought looking back? Typical Hollywood Liberal approach to anything – DO or say anything that make themselves feel good – So much for singing the world to peace and harmony.

Dan Akroyd and Harry Belafonte in the back row ,hilarious.

And Michael Jackson singing the line “We are the children.” That had to be deliberate on someone’s part.

Things are going from bad to worse for these vermin. I won’t be shedding any tears….
