 Well, having never attended a Catholic High School, I wouldn't
 know about English 101 in Catholic High Schools. I do know the
 US did not cut and run from Somailia. I also know Clinton
 inherited the Somalia operation from Bush I. He continued
 Bush I's campaign, until they reached the point where they felt
 the mission was pretty well accomplished. So they started to
 draw down the US forces. At that time a group of followers of a
 Somali Warlord attacked and killed some Pakistani troops in the
 operation. The commander of the forces, an American, ordered the
 siezure of some of the warlord's followers, in the process of
 attempting to capture the warlord.

 The troops involved underestimated the abilities of the locals,
 and Blackhawk down resulted. Eighteen Americans, and around 1000
 Somilies, were killed. This was during the draw down of American
 forces. As a result *MORE* American troops were sent to Somalia,
 and it took another 6 months for the US to pull out and turn it
 over to the UN.

 Hardly cut and run. But who would expect a right winger to know
 anything about it?
