#3 You beat me to it on the Rules Of Engagement statement. These are people who know whats at stake and do not pretend that there is a nice, clean sanitized version of war.

Good for Ethiopia. The EU needs to pay attention for the future... it's always handy to know what a spine looks like.

#4 Claims killed up to 1,000 and 3,000 wounded in a week.

That's about the same as a company of Rangers and a Delta team did in less than 24 hours in 1993. Now the whole country is ready to collapse. If only Clinton didn't stop the Rangers from finishing off the Mog militias and instead turned tail, muslims wouldn't have gotten the idea the US are pussies and wouldn't have dared attack New York and Washington.

Finish them off and carry off the women.

#5 "British passports" again. If we don't weed out terror support groups in the rich West, endless funding to foreign terror will never end.

The Geneva Conventions on rules of war, should have permitted summary execution of aliens who participate in war. I recall Patton set up several firing squads for Germans that his troops caught in US uniform during the "Battle of the Bulge."

#7 uuhhh, ed, 'carry off their women'? WAAAY outside the bounds of PC, my friend.

However, considering Hirsi Ali is Somali, Somali have a very nice, exotic look. I don't generally like the looks of (West) African women, but the East Africans....gggggrowl.
