How is it that a lowly Ethiopian Army can defeat an entire radical Muslim terrorist army in less than 6 months & the greatest Superpower the world has ever know, hasn't been able to stop the same type of terrorists army in Iraq in 3 1/2 years & counting? Might it have something to do with the US Commander in Chief?

Because the Ethiopian Army doesn't have every little thing they do witnessed, picked apart, and condemned by the media. If the US Army operated under the same type of Rules of Engagement that the Ethiopian Army did, Iraq would have been a done deal in about 6 weeks.
It has a hell of a lot more to do with the side of political spectrum opposite George Bush.

Or maybe it has a lot to do with the US forces trying to fight an insurgent army while retaining political correctness.. Let the US go in and start blowing away people and then time how many seconds it takes for a Liberal media and the UN to do a body count , where of course most casualties will be deemed as civilian..... nobody checked on the Ethiopians did they..... Something to think about..By the way.. The US Special Forces are the ones who trained the Ethiopian Army..

by technique of SALLY BUZBEE, linked Press author 40 six minutes in the past BAGHDAD - Iraq's nationwide protection adviser reported Tuesday his u . s . received't settle for any protection manage united statesa. except it contains certain dates for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces. The comments by technique of Mouwaffak al-Rubaie were the optimal yet by technique of an Iraqi valid about the deal now less than negotiation with U.S. officials. They got here an afternoon after Iraq's best minister first reported publicly that he expects the pending troop manage united statesa. to have some variety of timetable for withdrawal. President Bush has reported he opposes a timetable. both Bush is a liar or a double-crosser, because HE reported that we'd purely be there see you later because the Iraqi gov't needed us there, SO now he extra effective post or close up. end of tale.

With key US airstrikes. We were bombing those guys while they were doing the invasion. I doubt that the Ethiopians have alot of cell phone cameras and are able to commit any kind of atrocity needed to win. Wars are won with that kind of commitment. Right or wrong thats how you win. Ancient rome had it right Decimation/occupation is the way to victory. We as americans dont think its cool to torture/rape/kill so we dont have what it takes to win. We go over there and give out candy and medical exams and immunizations and 1-2 out of 10,000 troops are murdering and raping and it ruins the whole thing because thats all that gets noticed.
Watch Apocalypse now to really understand Col. Kurtz has it completely right. When they vaccinated a village the enemy came thru and chopped all the arms off. Its ugly and disgusting but thats how war works!! And thats why vietnam is communist and on our best friends list. Rather than whatever government we wanted.

Are you American? Do you take advantage of your rights as an American, freedom of speech? If so then how dare you imply that our military, (who have sacrificed their lives so idiots can post ignorant question), are not doing an outstanding job protecting our freedom. When you have fought to protect this country & have served with honor & pride then lets talk!

Great question. and to answer your question he should pull our military out and let his government contracted army "Blackwater" stay. Blackwater the second biggest military force in Iraq. What times we live in. what a shame for the american people to be used this way.
