I wasn't. Nor am I silent IRT the observation that George H Bush
sent those troops to Somalia and left them there to spite
Clinton for winning the election.

I know you didn't type this Walt, but this guy must be the DNC chairman.

Can you suggest another reason that Pres. Bush rebuffed pleas by various
humanitarian organizations to send troops for a year, and then sent them once
he lost the election?

The thing is that Bush Sr. is more responsible for what happened in Modadisgu
than the Clinton administration is.

It's largely forgotten, but this was a hideous thing that Bush Sr. did.
