#1 Don't trust them. Keep pressure up until the actual militai's surrender Ethopia, else they will pull a "tater".

#2 Agreed Charles - keep the pressure up and drive the foreign jihadis into the sea. Root them out of the police and other security stations, this is Hudna at it's most basic.

There can be no peace without victory.

#3 Two weeks ago they were chimping: we love death more than the infidels love life. Change of tune.

Now let's get CAIR out of here. They welcomed the Fascist coup.

#4 There's something half hilarious about declaring Mog an open city.

Atomic Conspiracy opined yesterday that a Hydrogen bomb would do $200 worth of damage.

#5 While priests and other such scoundrels are great at sending children to die, they get very pacifistic when their own butts are on the line.

All the more reason for the Ethiopians to promise not to sack Mogadishu on the condition that the people execute all the IC leaders and leave their bodies in a neat pile outside the city.

Of course, after *that* ultimatum, the IC leaders will demand that everyone else in the city defend the IC leaders, to their last drop of blood.

While whining and begging any foreign power to evacuate the "holy men".

#6 I think if we killed most of the Islamic clerics 90% of our troubles with Islam would be solved.

#7 It's amazing how fast they fold when confronted with actual physical resistance, even by a second rate thrid world army. You'd think somebody would notice and apply the lesson to others, say Iran and Syria. And if it worked with them try Pakistan and the Magik Kingdom.

#8 "We quit! We don't want to see our blood shed!"

Government spokesman Abdirahman Dinari says the Islamist leaders have fled to the southern port of Kismayu.

"The Islamic courts leaders have dispersed into thin air," he said.

Flew the coop; flucked off like the fligeons; cut and run; disappeared up their own fundamental; scarpered; shot through like a Bondi tram - and
forgot to leave a forwarding address.

#9 So will we be seeing Henna Man and Dishtowel Boy's heads on poles in the near future?
Yeah, I doubt it. But it's nice to dream...

I say we do this experiment.

#11 BAH! Read more carefully. In typical lib fashion, they declare both their readiness to let the people decide how they are ruled, AND are ready to take responsibility: (I.e. you're free to choose whomever you want, provided you choose US!). Also, they continue to insist on the application of their precious sharia law to maintain order and safety: no hints that they will agree that a different set of laws would
apply.

I'm with tu: track the bastards down, behead them, and put their heads on pikes.

#14 I agree with Ptah's reading. Make the ICU leadership formally surrender, then try them for their crimes.

#15 TW: Good idea, but since they evaporated into thin air, it is gonna be tough to get them admit they were ever there, much less surrender.
Appears they have even less spine than (fill in your favorite politician's name here).

#16 Newspaper reports, photos, and so forth. They were thrilled to see their names in print when they were winning, and the memory hole isn't very deep yet.
