Just a quick observation. The failed policies of the Clinton administration will forever haunt us. I have heard Osama now Hussien talk about a battle in the streets. It is an obvious connection to what they percieved as a victory in the Somalia disaster known as Black Hawk Down. Our boys were taken by surprise. In warfare, those things can happen. It is the response to that situation that will leave a bitter pill in the minds of many. It deserved a quick , swift , decisive response to teach the world what happens when you mess with the US. Instead we get a retreat from the Clinton administration and create the appearance of a victory by a bunch of thugs from Somalia. Now the whole Arab world beleives we can be beaten by a war in the streets. It has been echoed by our two biggest enemies and thier leaders. Next time , if they want to take the war to the streets, take out the street.
