Ethiopian jets bomb somolian airports

MOGADISHU, Somalia (Reuters) -- Ethiopian warplanes attacked two Islamist-held airfields Monday in Somalia, including in the capital, Mogadishu, in the most dramatic strikes yet of a war threatening to engulf the Horn of Africa.

Witnesses said the attacks came hours after neighboring Ethiopia formally declared war, saying it was protecting its sovereignty against an Islamist movement.

Fighting raged for a seventh day near Daynunay, close to the town of Baidoa, seat of Somalia's weak interim government that Ethiopia backs.

just another example of how it really is a stupid idea for radical islams to think they can make everybody else a radical islamic.

Looks like Mogadishu will be liberated soon. Warlord says heads will roll. These islamonazis types are real hard on the civilian population, but when faced with an armed force, run and hide. Looks like everyone is happy to see them go. Hopefully they won't return.

Ethiopia: Political Dissent Quashed

State Department: U.S. supports Ethiopian military

Sound familiar?

I wonder how far this support goes?
