Do you remember how tough Issayas used to sound pre Badme eviction? Do you remember how he used to promise to dismember Ethiopia? Do you remember how he promised to change the laws that dictated nature?

Now fast forward to October 2006 and recall from your short term memory the days when the tough Somalian Islamic courts used to on a daily basis wage a Jihad against Ethiopia. Do you remember from your recent memory how tough these Islamic Jihadists sounded a few weeks ago? Like the Shabian leader we wondered what they had which made them sound so confident. Was it a nuclear weapon or a million man army? Why did the Jihadist sound so sure and brave? Why did they sound like they could march to Addis in one day by having breakfast in Jimma and lunch in the Menelik palace? Why did the daily Jihads make us think that Ethiopia would succumb to a tough Somalian Islamic army and disintegrate into tiny chiefdoms like Shabia dreams?

Were you on the floor on Friday laughing your head off when the Islamic Jihadists begged the Americans to come and save them a few days after PM Meles gave a speech which all but assured they were going to be attacked. What happened to that bravado which they were expressing a few weeks before? Does this not remind you of Shabia who in 1999 after one year of promising to destroy Woyane basically called the USA via the UN to come and save it from Ethiopia. We told you a few months back on one of our commentary that the Islamic Courts got their education at the Shabian School of Military Science. The motto at that institution is act like a Lion even if you are a kitten.

We were seriously humored when we saw that the Islamic Courts begged the USA to come and save it. In a way they are smarter than Shabia. At least they tried to be saved pre-destruction. At any rate the Islamic Courts will now be deflated down to size. An army which takes over large swathes of Somalian territory using Toyota trucks with Guns on the flat bed can not seriously resist a full fledged well armed army like the Ethiopian military. We trust the Ethiopian Government knows that it knows not to get bogged down in Somalia. We also trust that they know they have to hit them hard and often.

Lastly we still remind those who are still colluding with Shabia and the Islamic Courts that they still have time to correct their mistaken ways. However time is running out. Either you are with Ethiopia or with her enemies. This is a critical time not for Ethiopia’s survival but those who are currently betraying her. Those who are currently aiding and abetting her enemies need to quickly change their ways. Time is running out!

P.S. The meeting in Libya which was held between the Egyptian, Libyan and Shabian governments was not about Darfur as they tried to make us believe. It was a meeting to plan on how to destroy Ethiopia.
