<< No Americans were killed because President Bush Sent them to Somalia. That is fact. The premise of your question is false. >>
Poppa Bush sent our troops to Somalia right before he left office. This was not only very irresponsible, but a total misuse of our troops. If Poppa Bush had not sent the troops to Somalia, he would hold no responsibility for their deaths. I will always blame and hold Poppa Bush in contempt for putting our troops in harms way, and for doing it after he lost the election to Clinton. What his motivations were, we can only guess.
<< When executing the orders of President Bush, the troops were in central and well defended positions. >>
They should not have been there in the first place.
<< More to the point, our neutral stance in the armed conflict did not antagonize the warring parties. >>
What garbage! The warring factions did not want us to aid and supply the families of their enemies. It was impossible to be neutral. It was a lawless, criminal and dangerous country. Did you think that the "warring parties" played by the rules of the Marquis of Queensberry?
<< I notice you have not provided a response as to why Clinton did not pull the troops out. >>
The issue, to me, is not how badly Clinton handled Bush's mess, but that Bush created the awful situation in the first place. He invented the Somalia mission, and then walked away, and thus was able to wash his hands of the blood of our troops, as you so believe. |
