I recall that the father of one of the soldiers that was awarded the CMOH (posthumously) for the Mogadishu raid refused to shake Clinton's and also gave Clinton a piece of his mind. I think Rush was the one who broke that story. The MSM took a pass.

Yes, one of the fathers told him what for. Clinton was personally responsible for Mogodishu, because he extended the mission but refused to provide the armor that his commanders told him was necessary for such an extension. If the armor had been there, most of those troops would have been saved.

I remember that as well. The major Media, however, took a pass on that story since it would have embarrased their boy.
