There is still a humanitarian crises in Somalia. You wanna send in the Marines? If it is not a good idea now, why was it a good idea then? I said I liked GHWB, but if you are going to claim he did it because of CNN coverage, I may have to rethink it.

RE: "You wanna send in the Marines?"

Where did I say I wanted to send in the Marines? It's a fact that that CNN's coverage of the human suffering and the resultant public pressure virtually forced the Bush administration to act quickly. He used the military.

Guess I'm going to have to go googling to find those "CNN made him do it" articles. If necessary. :)
