The way I remember it, Clinton was responsible for expanding the mission in Somalia, and it was his White House that insisted on under manning, under equipping, and under armoring the expanded mission.

It was Clinton who expanded the mission to go after Aidid, yet refused to provide the tools (armor and air support) to get the job done. He thought that would appear 'too aggressive'! As*h*le! In eight years of Clinton Administration, the US military was deployed forty-four times around the world, compared with only eight foreign deployments in the previous post-WWII admins. And we STILL have troops in the Balkans and apparently they will be there forever, despite Clinton's claim that they would be home by Christmas when they were originally deployed. And his little air war in the Balkans was never even authorized by Congress!!!!

Trying to wipe the slate clean of the anti-America demon(strating) he did in a foreign country.

The first of many examples of the MSM agenda!!!
