What many people don't know about the incident in Somalia is that the mission that resulted in the American helicopters being shot down was launched to capture warlord Mohammed Farar Idide. Shortly after the firefight, the Clinton administration did an about face, and US troops were used to actually protect Idide.

Simply incredible.
