I bet Clinton would like to give Cindy Shee-han some grief counseling up close and personal.

You don't send a company of Rangers into an area and then claim you didn't want them to be "too aggressive". The entire point of the mission was to capture Aidid. You don't send in boy scouts for that type of mission.
Clinton sent those men in and left them hanging. He should have suffered a similar fate.

Did you lose any friends or loved ones in Mogadishu? It's easy to say, "get over it" when his actions never personally touched you.

"What's he jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid!"
The London Sunday Times, May 29, 1994:
It was the moment President Bill Clinton wanted to restore his
tattered reputation with the military before his departure for the
D-Day celebrations in Europe this week, James Adams reports.
He had just presented posthumous Congressional Medals of Honour,
America's highest military decoration, to the widows of two
soldiers for valour in Somalia. After inviting the families for a
moment of quiet reflection in the Oval Office, the president
approached Herbert Shughart, the father of one of the two
soldiers, and offered his hand.
Eventually, after Clinton had sat on the paper work for eight
weeks, two of the slain soldiers, Master Sergeant Gary Gordon and
Sergeant First Class Randall Shughart, were posthumously awarded
the Medal of Honor. As usual in such cases, the medals were
presented to the next of kin.
Following the May 23 presentation at the White House, the families
of the two men were invited into the Oval Office for a private
visit with Clinton. Inside the office, the father of Sergeant
Shughart refused to shake Clinton's hand, then looked him in the
face and calmly told him that he was responsible for his son's
death, that it was for no purpose, that he was not fit to be
President, and not fit to be Commander in Chief.
Clinton was visibly shocked, amazed, and momentarily speechless.
It is revealing that he was surprised that the man should feel
that way. Clinton really doesn't think the way most people do,
seeming to lack a sense of personal responsibility. After a brief,
awkward silence, Clinton caught his breath. Becoming angry, he
turned to the mother of the dead soldier and said, "What's he
jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid!" (Emphasis added).

Hey -
Why isn't Sandy Burgler in jail??
"Can we get over Clinton already"?
Why ask such a stupid question?

Clinton = sack of sh*t.
And when Bush 41 sent in troops, he also sent in ARMOR, (the 24th (Mech) was part of that) there to support operations. After Clinton took power, no armor was allowed in the theater because "it might send too aggressive a message" to the Somalis.

"He said they may have been responsible for their own deaths because they were 'too aggressive' in Mogadishu." Unbelievable! And a coward above all.

It Was George H.W. Bush who first ordered US troops to Somalia in late 1992.The Marines Bush sent finished their mission and left. Task Force Ranger was entirely Clinton's doing.
To: Mia T
One other incident that didn't make the movie -- or the American press, McKenny said -- happened after the wounded soldiers were brought back to Walter Reed Army Hospital outside Washington.
"Clinton was advised to go see them, but he didn't want to," McKenny said. "Somewhat reluctantly, he finally did go. When he got there, he offered to have his picture taken with each one of them. At least four turned him down, saying they wouldn't dishonor their dead friends or their uniform by having their pictures taken with him.
......................
The Clintons were the First family who turned their backs on the military. Wasn't it Clinton who never saluted military staff? The Clintons dishonor and disrespect when it accomodates their whims, then they "act" all huffy when they're rebuffed for their disrespectful actions. They really are in their own little universe.

You left out the part where the father of one of the slain soldiers (Sgt. Casy Joyce?) asks Clinton why, at the same time the soldiers were hunting Aidid, Clinton was working to get Jimmy Carter into peace talks with him. Clinton, stunned, turned to Tony Lake, and said, "You know, thats exactly what I asked Tony Lake myself."

Thanks for the ping, Mia T. Great post. Informative thread.

Also not in the movie was an after-action incident between Clinton and the parents of two Rangers -- MSgt. Gary Gordon, 33, and SFC Randy Shughart Gordon and Shugart were Delta Force, not Rangers.

"SONNY" CALLAHAN + BILL CLINTON'S CINDY SHEEHANS
- by Mia T, 8.24.05
One is inevitably reminded of the quite unbelievable image of the president of the United States on the phone with a congressman discussing Bosnia while being simultaneously serviced by Monica Lewinsky. -- Charles Krauthammer, History Will Not be Kind to Clinton
- ASIDE: While clinton was being serviced by The Intern, he and Congressman H.L. "Sonny" Callahan were discussing sending American troops -- our sons and daughters -- to a dangerous place full of death. -- Mia T
What was always staggering to me about this scene was not what it says about Clinton's sexual practices -- I couldn't care less one way or another -- but about his unseriousness. -- Charles Krauthammer, History Will Not be Kind to Clinton
- ASIDE: This scene confirms more than simply clinton's smallness; it confirms the Africa clip, the clintons' easy disregard for any life not their own... which, in turn, explains THE CLINTONS' EASY DISREGARD FOR GENOCIDE AND TERRORISM.--Mia T

The following is a letter to ex-President Clinton from James Smith, a former Ranger whose son Corporal James E Smith was killed in Somalia. Mr. Smith, a decorated Vietnam-era Ranger himself, rejected the traditonal letter of condolence written by the White House, and returned this in reply:
10 Mallard Lane Long Valley, N.J., 07853
President William Clinton The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C., 20500
October 25, 1993
President Clinton:
As a warrior who was disabled in the Vietnam War and as a father of a warrior killed in action in Somalia, I cannot accept your letter of condolence for the death of my son Ranger Corporal James E. Smith. To accept your letter would be contrary to all the beliefs I, my son and the Rangers hold so dear, including: loyalty, courage and tenacity.
During the battle for Anzio, in World War II, an inept indecisive field commander sent the Rangers into battle where they were slaughtered. Fifty years later the Rangers again were ordered into battle, where they were surrounded and outgunned. But this time it was not the fault of the field commanders. No - this time it was the fault of the Commander in Chief, the President of the United States. Your failure to provide the requested combat support reveals a lack of loyalty to the troops under your command and an extreme shortage of moral courage.
I had the honor to meet the Rangers who fought along side my son and were with Jamie when he died. I heard of magnificent acts of courage and sacrifice. I had Rangers, with tears in their eyes, apologize for letting my son die or their failure to break through and rescue the trapped Rangers. The failure is not theirs, it is yours. Trucks and Humvees cannot replace the requested tanks, armored personnel carriers and Spectre gunships.
As a combat veteran I know that there are no certainties on the battlefield; however, as an Infantry Officer I will always speculate that significantly less casualties would have resulted if you, as Commander in Chief, provided the Rangers with the requested combat support - equipment with which Rangers routinely train and for which approval should have been automatic. The Rangers were pinned down for twelve hours - long hours when the Rangers were fighting for their lives and a Delta Force medic fought to save my son. Jamie bled to death because the requested armor support was not there to break through to the Rangers.
Rangers pride themselves on the Ranger Creed. "Driving on to the Ranger objective", or "Surrender is not a Ranger word" are not hollow phrases to the men of the black beret. These soldiers understand the word tenacious and wanted to complete their mission. As Ranger after Ranger told me, they were hitting Aidid's forces and command structure hard. But, the United Nations was actually impeding Ranger missions by offering sanctuary to Aidid's supporters. Your willingness to allow this dangerous situation demonstrates a lack of resolve in supporting the men you sent into battle.
My son is no longer here to "Lead the Way"; however, I am. Until you as President and Commander in Chief are either willing or able to formulate a clear foreign policy, establish specific objectives and, most important, support the men and women in uniform, I will "Lead the Way" in insuring that you no longer send America's finest to a needless death. When you are capable of meeting these criteria, then I will accept your letter of condolence.
Sincerely,
[signature] James H. Smith Captain/Infantry (Retired)
thanx to snowrip for letter
