"I am sure FDR said bring it on and LBJ said much the same thing. None of them were on the front lines either. Sure you liked clintons style in somalia. When something goes wrong run away. The crap that you guys post is amazing. mike" FDR was in a wheelchair. He served as Secretary of Navy, I believe. Johnson also served in the Navy. There is some question about Bush 1 and his personal courage in bailing out and leaving his crew to crash while piloting his plane in the South Pacific. I always wondered about how they got a film camera there when he was fished out of the ocean. Bush 1 was supposed to have some National Guard Duty assignment in Texas but I believe the drug test made him nervous and he said "Don't bring it on." or something of that nature President BUsh 1 committed troops to Somalia shortly before the end of his first and only term with out a plan. President Clinton responded to the public outcry when our troops were slaughtered. THe major problem at the time was that there was no planning done by President Bush NO OBJECTIVE NO STRATEGY NO TACTICs and no commitment or Exit Strategy since ther was no definition of success. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Rascal@ politeinformedpatientpatriotwhocangoogle.com
