| it seems nothing of the sort. they're presently on the run from the ethiopians (with an american naval presence offshore to prevent leaders from escaping by sea with american special ops reportedly searching coastal swamp areas ethiopian forces are unable to control) but hardly being kicked outta anywhere by local muslims. |
You are correct the Ethiopians are Jews not Muslims.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Kenya closed its border with Somalia, the foreign minister said Thursday, expressing concern about Islamic militants slipping into the country along with refugees.
"The Kenyan border is officially closed," Foreign Affairs Minister Raphael Tuju told The Associated Press, without saying when the decision was made or how long the border would remain closed.
Kenya has beefed up patrols along its 675-kilometer (400-mile) border with Somalia since troops of Somalia's transitional government, backed by Ethiopian forces, routed an Islamic movement that had controlled most of southern Somalia, including the capital, Mogadishu.
Tuju said that many Somalis seeking asylum in Kenya recently are family members of Islamic militiamen.
"Kenya will not allow combatants and their families to use this country as a base," he told journalists.
Also from the AP:
Islamic militants controlling the Somali capital of Mogadishu and much of the southern part of the country have been driven out by Ethiopian-backed government forces after more than six months in power. The Islamic movement retreated to the southern tip of Somalia and vowed to keep fighting, raising the specter of an Iraq-style guerrilla war.
From AFP:
Rice unveiled an initial urgent aid package of more than 16 million dollars, mainly to provide food to Somalis displaced by fighting between Ethiopian troops backing the government and the Islamic Courts movement.
I could not find anything about US troops could you provide a link?
It is not that I dispute what you write but I have not heard anything on CNN or MSNBC or even the ultra liberal Rush Limbaugh made mention of it.
