#1 What is it about Islamic Fundementalism that erases any form of common sense? The Somali Army back when Somalia was a functional client state of the Soviet Union could not defeat the Ethiopian Army. And now these khat-chewers think they are going to take on the Puntlanders' militia backed by the Ethiopian Army? To complete the idiocy, they need to also threaten the Somalilanders, so that the Islamic Courts can be fighting a 3 front war. And what is really funny about all of this is that Puntland and Somaliland have been arguing the past few years about a border province, this stupidity will actually cause the two mini-states to reach an accord and concentrate on their shared enemy, the Islamic Courts.
