Ethiopia Declares War on Somali Islamic Rebels
Ethiopia launched a bombing raid on Mogadishu International Airport — the headquarters of the Islamic movement aimed at toppling the internationally recognized government of Somalia.
Ethiopia’s prime minister announced Sunday night that his country was “forced to enter a war†with Somalia’s Council of Islamic Courts after the group declared holy war on Ethiopia.
The Bush administration — bogged down in Iraq and, increasingly, in Afghanistan — cannot do anything.
According to U.S. officials, the Islamic militants battling for control of Somalia have ties to Al-Qaeda. Post-9/11, the Bush administration abandoned Afghanistan and completely neglected Somalia — the real fronts in the “War on Terror†— for his ill-conceived war.
National insecurity brought to you by the Bush White House.
Meanwhile, back in Somalia:
Major fighting broke out Tuesday night. On Sunday, Ethiopian forces fought alongside secular Somali soldiers in Dinsoor, Belet Weyne, Bandiradley and Bur Haqaba, officials said.
Secular Somali soldiers? Fighting on Christmas Day? The war on Christmas lives.
