Facts to not support your position. No one got killed performing the orders given by President Bush.

22 Americans got killed performing Clinton orders because he failed to assess the situation properly, he failed to seek the advice of the people who were familiar with the situation and he failed to give the men on the ground the support they needed and requested, to perform the mission Clinton ordered.

No word games, just facts. I guarantee you that the families of the men who were killed know where blame lies. Clinton.

"Playing with words does little to those who lost loved ones over in Somalia. Bush sent our troops to a war torn, uncivilized powder keg, and then left office, leaving the responsibility in someone else's hands. This was an irresponsible and reckless act, IMHO"

So are you saying that we should recall all our troops from any hotspots around the globe during a Presidential transition? So as not to leave troops in a "war torn, uncivilized powder keg" which would be "irresponsible and reckless." I guess the troops will be coming home from Kosovo and Bosnia now that Clinton is leaving office then...

But then again, our guys and gals in uniform were supposed to come home from Bosnia YEARS ago. The whole one year commitment thing Clinton promised never quite happened.
