I'm gonna play a little bit of devils advocate here (I still think this morning is a freaking lunatic though)

When I was serving in Somalia, after the "blackhawk down" incident, some of my family wrote letters to to clinton asking why I was there. I'm sure they would have been much more enraged had I been killed or wounded, G-d forbid. But I can imagine the parents/wifes of those killed in Somalia demanding an answer from the president on why their loved one was killed (clinton, in all his disgrace, never gave an answer and dodged the issue like the plague, heck he was probably glad soldiers were killed, that slimeball)

So, in theory--I can understand why a mother would want an explanation (truthfully, the administration has been a little behind the ball when explaining why/what/how we are doing there) But, this woman is simply a lunatic and deserves what will hopefully come to her.

G-d bless America

What are your feelings about what happened in Somalia?

Didn't Clinton bail out shortly after the blackhawk was shot down? And isn't there some speculation that Clinton's weak-kneed response emboldened Osama to plan and carry out 9-11?

Yeah, except for the fact that she met with the President last year, heard him talk about the mission, and was satisfied with his answers.

THat is a valid question. And the media has been asking the president that question ever since we got there. And he has given HIS answer many times.

When she was asked in a phone podcast what she would ask if she saw the president, the 1st question was "why", but she said she already knew his answer and didn't believe it. Her second question was a smarmy "did you encourage YOUR kids to enlist", suggesting it would let the soldiers being held hostage in Iraq come home (yes she said they were hostages, held by the stop-loss orders).

Her third "question" wasn't a question, it was an order to him to stop comforting others by telling them there was a mission. She said the only thing that would honor her son would be if we surrendered in Iraq and came home.

Yea, that's what your Son went to die for, so we could surrender to the terrorists.

Thank you for your service to our country!

Thanks for your service. Truely a thankless job under the Clinton administration.

I hear what you are saying, but I think there is a big difference between the two situations. I would imagine those of you in Somalia probably thought "There isn't a snowballs chance in hell for the situation improving in this shithole. What the heck are we doing here?"

President allready met with her and she previously said that he "comforted her". She changed her tune later after getting "advice" from extreme liberals..... This is what I gather from all the news threads. IMHO.
