Later in the day, a member of our armed forces stopped by and borrowed our megaphone. He indicated that he was somehow associated with the "blackhawk down" episode in Somalia. I don't remember his exact words, but I vaguely remember it going something like this. "On behalf of all members of the military, I would like to thank Bill and Hillary Clinton for the lack of ammunition and support that caused the loss of our troops lives in Somalia".

I wish I had gotten his contact info, because he would have been a good person to invite to FR and to DC chapter.

Doctor Raoul was relutant to let him borrow the the voice amplification device, as the Doctor has been burned previously. However, the young man's sincerity and conviction swayed the good Doctor.

As an aside the young man related that the White House monitored the action real time and had denied an ammunition drop in the middle of the firefight as that would have seemed too aggressive.

Please note that as a result of Clinton withdrawing the troops instead of allowing them to go back in and complete the mission,, the Islamic terrorist only were emboldened by the show of weakness.

They were vets that had served in Somolia and had their own desire to communicate with her given the opportunity. The one was about early thirties, the other late forties.
