Re: 2nd Term Part VIII - The Thin Red Line
Please don't blame me for your inability to comprehend English. As to Somalia, I favored that mission. What I didn't favor was former SecDef Les Aspin's political decision to have a "light" footprint during that operation. That meant no Abrams tanks. And was directly responsible for our inability to mount a successful rescue effort for the Black Hawk down guys. A decision for which Aspin later took the blame and resigned.
Well, you did say this...
Would seem to me that the plight of these girls would be much like Somalia. So I ask again, what is the strategic interest in rescuing these girls? Or are you siding with the bleeding heart libtards and thinking that we should do this out of the goodness of our collective hearts - and at the risk of some of our soldiers' lives.
How so?
