"So you didn't give a damn when the Somalis dragged an American corpse through Mogadishu?"

BTW, this debacle in Mogadishu was the direct result of the Clinton administration's political correctness. The 2 star commander on the scene in Somalia requested tanks and APC's for emergency reinforcement should the need occur. The request was denied by SecDef Aspin because "it might send the wrong message." So many parallels here with Johnson and MacNamara running the Vietnam war. I've often wondered if Aspin got his instructions from Hitlery or President Clinton on this decision.

The end result was something like 16 KIA and some 60 WIA just because Aspin didn't want to "send the wrong message."

As I have said many times, democrats in the oval office are a risk to the lives of US soldiers. They fundamentally do not understand the projection of military force as an instrument of national power. They give greater weight to perceptions of the enemy than to the protection of their own forces.

Just imagine what it would be like today if Al Gore had really stolen the election, or for that matter, actually won in Florida. He would be appeasing Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

God save us from the democRATS.
