Horowitz recalls that the U.S. first faced the al-Qaeda terrorists in Somalia in 1993. Despite the fact that U.S. troops were in that beleaguered nation merely to feed the starving people, 18 Americans were killed and 80 wounded. "A dead U.S. soldier was dragged through the streets in an act calculated to humiliate his comrades and his country."
Clinton's reaction to this outrageous challenge to the United States of America was to cut and run, like a frightened rabbit, giving the murderous thugs of al-Qaeda a victory.
Under the leadership of Clinton, "there was no military response to this humiliation. The greatest superpower the world has ever seen did nothing. It accepted defeat and left."
Clinton's Strategy: 'Accept Defeat'
Clinton's Failure in Somalia Encouraged bin Laden
Said bin Laden in an interview with an ABC news reporter: **"We have seen in the last decade the decline of the American government and the weakness of the American soldier who is ready to wage Cold Wars and unprepared to fight long wars. This was proven in Beirut when the Marines fled after two explosions. It also proves they can run in less than 24 hours, and this was also repeated in Somalia. We are ready for all occasions. We rely on Allah."
David N. Bossie, author of "Intelligence Failure: How Clinton's National Security Policy Set the Stage for 9/11" (Thomas Nelson/WND), backs up his claims with copious evidence gleaned from extensive research and exclusive interviews.
Bossie’s book has won a major endorsement. **Clinton’s own CIA director, R. James Woolsey, has praised it: "This book proves, once and for all, that the FBI and CIA's failures that led to 9/11 were caused directly by Bill Clinton himself."
