Success in Somolia? Is she serious? Of course, she is. The only people listening to Franken are people who either believe every word she says or don't care if she is lying.

The Clinton team cut the defense so bad it's a wonder Bush had a standing army left to go to war with anyone. I guess firing a missile into an empty tent and blowing up an aspirin factory is her idea of success.

The liberals say we shouldn't be there. The liberals say we don't have enough troops. The liberals say we're not supporting the troops. The liberals vote to stop the funding. Where exactly do these people stand?

Like to get her commendation, no doubt, of her husband after Mogadishu.

Exactly right! It was Hillary's husband, Billary, and his henchman Les Aspin who sent our military into Mogadishu without proper support and armored vehicles -- and under U.N. control, to boot!

Fallujah is a different situation: These were civilians, private contractors, presumably not under the control of the Pentagon. I don't know how much the American military in Iraq knew of those civilians' movements within Fallujah; but certainly independent contractors moving about in Iraq is a far different situation than U.N./Pentagon-directed troops in Mogadishu.

And Bush's response will be a far cry from what Billary did, too.

Early in the show, before Hillary was on the line, Franken stated that there was no way we should run away because of Falujah. When Hillary came on, Franken brought up the Falujah incident and mentioned its similarity to Mogadishu. Hillary pretended that the M word had not been uttered and went blithely on with her commentary about the failures of the Bush administration.

The interview with Pat Buchanan -- before Franken's show -- was also interesting. The interviewer basically asked him why he was such a racist, and Buchanan said that was ridiculous. His Catholic school in Washington was integrated in 1948 -- long before official desegregation -- and was rejected from interschool basketball games because they had a Negro on their team. The interviewer asked him why he was against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Buchanan told him that our Federalist Constitution left these issues up to the states -- just like gay marriage! If you don't want the federal government involved in marriage, then the same principle says they shouldn't be involved in race relations.

On radio, the libs come across as juvenile delinquents. Thank goodness, the adults are in charge of the country.
