Had Clinton pulled out the troops per the original plan, that was set up by GHWB, no soldiers would have been killed. There was a clear plan. Clinton disgarded it, when he signed on to UN Resolution 814. You deny it, but it was there. No spin at all. Just documented facts that can be proven.
How long did it last you ask. Answer: Until Clinton changed the mission and sent troops into the country side to go warlord hunting. Fact. Not spin. (The first U.N Troops were killed in early June 1993. What were they doing ? Disarming Somali's.)
The troops on the ground asked for armored reinforcment, to support the expanded mission. Clinton denied it. Fact not spin.
The so called spin, you say comes from PBS, and we know how conservative they are.
So according to your logic, if your Mama sends you to the grocery store to buy food, and you end up robbing the place, your Mama should go to jail. Typical of the Clinton era. Never take responsibilty when you can blame someone else.
I believe that if we can do some good without taking troops into harms way, we should. That is what happened in Somalia, until Bill Clinton got into office.
Your spin, is lacking in historical perspective, and absent any consideration of fact. |
