I don't disagree with that possibility, but it shows the politicians learning the wrong lessons from history.

In Somalia, we were supposed to be there for humanitarian reason.
But we turned the mission into a manhunt for a warlord.

In Somalia, we had access to heavy weapons, but chose not to use them, because they were politically risky.
In Somalia, men died because they were sent on a mission that was inadequately equipped and inadequately supported.

Obama may have been trying to prevent a repeat of Mogadishu, but his efforts to avoid that are pretty much exactly what led to a repeat of Mogadishu.

We wanted Libya liberated from Ghadaffy -- but then we stuck around and started a gun-running operation to jihadist terrorists. Okay, now we're on the wrong mission.
We could have sent in strong support to Benghazi, but decided not to escalate the situation, because it might have political repercussions.

Hasn't worked out for the Kenyan.

Sounds a lot like like Benghazi

Being black has it’s benefits the rat party knew this early on and used it with his and thier blessing and of coarse with a vig attached to it for them. He will not be held responsible for anything, the ultimate SOCIAL JUSTICE case. HIS DECISIONS CAUSED THE DEATH OF 4 PEOPLE move along nothing to see here
