…And So It Begins

December 24, 2006 | By Sniper One |

If you’ve been following the situation in the Horn of Africa, the war has broken out.

MOGADISHU, Somalia - Ethiopia sent fighter jets into Somalia and bombed several towns Sunday in a dramatic attack on Somalia’s powerful Islamic movement, and Ethiopia’s prime minister said his country had been “forced to enter a war.”

It was the first time Ethiopia acknowledged its troops were fighting in support of Somalia’s U.N.-backed interim government even though witnesses had been reporting their presence for weeks in an escalating battle that threatens to engulf the Horn of Africa region.

We need to send support to Ethiopia immediately!

      Merry Christmas!

      [...] Those blogs that are commenting on the news put it in simple terms of a struggle against a new Al Qaeda state. NW Bloggers: “The Islamo-Fascists behind the Islamic Court regime in Somalia are of the same school and stripe as those we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, among other places. They blow up night clubs in Indonesia, and conduct terror raids in the Philippines. The Ethiopians understand that they are in a fight for their very survival. The least we can do is give them material support. After all, they are fighting for us as much as for themselves.” Clear Politics: “If you do not want to see the holy war developing before your eyes, keep your head down, but if you do see, you will have to choose sides.” 7.62mm Justice: “We need to send support to Ethiopia immediately!” Our Sovereign Joy: “The Islamists in Somalia have provoked Ehtiopia into war and the pm of Ethiopia saw this attack as absolutely necessary. The Muslims in Somalia have for quite some time carried out a brutal, cold-blooded slaughter of Somalis. This is Islam.” [...]
