You also have to look back at 1993 with the “Blackhawk Down” incident in Somalia as a possibility.
Clinton wouldn’t send any help and as a result when the US pulled out of Somalia it was viewed by the muslim world that al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden had run the US out with their tail between their legs in disgrace.
Al Qaeda/OBL became the big dogs on the block in the muslim world.
Is Iran going to be seen as the Big Dog on the block in the muslim world now?
Go back further to Carter and his non answer to islamic terrorism in the 70’s.
What we have is three feckless presidents, Carter never understood the islamic mindset,he never understood, the only thing barbarians understand, is force.
Clinton too busy shaking down foreign govts,
Obama either a terrorist fellow traveller or American hater, actually he is probably both.
