Re: "Probably a good chance the repubs played some politics, and I would not be surprised if they had some doubts about Clinton's ability to effectively solve a situation like that." The Republicans were nearly unanimous in their opposition to the US military incursion into Somalia... and I believe that the majority of the Republican caucus also opposed the military intervention in the former Yugoslavia. And, yes, there was also Democrat opposition to both... but clearly (& especially in Yugoslavia, which was a larger commitment) there had to be a large enough bunch of Dems who voted to fund it to overcome the Republican opposition... or else it would have never been approved.
