A Rohrabacher bill to cripple the Donkey

”Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Chairman of the International Relations Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, introduced legislation restricting U.S. military aid to Ethiopia if it uses that aid to suppress its own people.”

Let us see if Dana Rohrabacher knows what Ethiopian Defense forces have (just a sample):

Standard issue:
-Russian made AK-47

Artillery and heavy machine guns:
Russian made
--KPV 14.5 mm
--ZSU-23-4 23mm

Air force:
Russian made
--Mig 29 fighter
--Sukhoi-27 fighter
--Mi-24 helicopter gunship

Ground Force:
Russian made
--T-55 medium tank
--Kornet-E anti-tank missiles

Transportation:
-Home grown Donkey

Since the Donkey is the only weapon that consumes spoiled food aid (USAID wheat flour) Rohrabacher’s bill is really intended to cripple the donkey, the most effective mode of transportation for Ethiopia’s army. For details look at link, BBC’s report “Victory on the back of a donkey”

Rep.Rohrabacher may want to talk to the Pentagon and ask them to pull the counterterrorism task force out of Eastern Ethiopia and see whether Rumsfeld is going to be amused.
