I would've included the Black Hawk Down incident along with the Hotel bombing attempt in yemen to get US troops, along with the Space Needle attempt.

Still a good speech. This is ridiculous that this has to be explained over and over and over to portions of idiots in this country--including idiot politicians who we know are lying through their teeth.

..."I would've included the Black Hawk Down incident..."...

It may be better to not refer to the "Black Hawk Down incident", but rather the "Battle of Mogadishu", in which a small unit of US Army Rangers, SOF Detachment Delta, and US Navy SEAL operators, supported by 10th Mountain Division troopers, killed some 1,000 Somali muslim ambushers at a cost of 18 US KIA and around a hundred WIA on October 3-4, 1993. This battle and the high number of US casualties was the result of Clinton Administration mission-creep and the fecklessness of Clinton and his worthless SecDef, Les Aspin, who refused to let the Task Force use armor or AC-130 gunship support. If they had the latter, they would have killed several thousand muslims...
