#1 Brave Lions of Islam sending children into battle?

Whoda thunk it. Islamopussies, cowards, and slime abound in the "powerful Islamic Courts"

#2 I hope the CIA is sending plane loads of cash to the Ethiopian ammo fund.

#3 Actually, if the CIA is doing anything, I hope it is hiring ex-Eastern Bloc technicians and buying spare parts for all of the ex-Soviet hardware the Ethiopians have. A couple of good repair/replacement depots staffed with trained personnel would go a long way in this war - allowing the Ethiopians to concentrate armour and mechanized infantry against the Mad Max technicals of the fundies. The Ethiopians have a lot of equipment idled because of the lack of spare parts, and a few C-17 loads of such from Romania, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Repub, or Slovakia would bring a couple of divisions' worth of tanks and APCs back on line.

#4 take a A10 or Spooky run over the technicals - the Islamo he-men will be hiding on them

#5 Training the "good guys" how to actually hit what they are aiming at would also go a long ways.

#6 In general I think Ethopia has a huge advantage for the fact they probably trained their army how to AIM.
