GHWBush41 put us in Somalia. Our Marines and Ambassador were taking care of business.
Clinton42 fired the Ambassador and put the Rangers under the UN without armor or gunships.
Predictably Blackhawk Down darkened our world--and Clinton fled.
Osama bin Laden in the 1998 ABC interview said he was surprised at how quickly the U.S. fled--and was emboldened to do the Embassy bombings, the Cole, 911.
Now Somalia is stateless and piracy is rife.
Hussein has been in denial over any war on terror, at any problem with Islam at all--everything is the fault of America.
He tries to tell us "we're talking about housing" but events won't suck up to the boy wonder as the slavering media will.
Hussein has consistently criticized American leadership in the world--but now the world is watching. . .him. . .
He still appears the punk--but the American crew and captain, and the American Navy shows itself a strong horse--
--and will deter further attacks.
No, I don’t see it as our problem, at all. It’s really the rest of the world’s problem. The real problem we have is doing all this stuff for the rest of the world, and having to pay the bill for it all.
I say — if the rest of the world really wants to do something about this, then they can come to us and ask us about it, and then figure out how much to pay us for all the costs we’ll incur, and then we’ll take care of it.
If the rest of the world doesn’t care enough to “pay the bill” — then let them deal with it themselves...
It’s not our problem...
