does the yeoman's work of investigating Rep. John Murtha's (D-France) policy stances. The single greatest mistake made by the Clinton Administration was cutting and running from Somalia. Why, you ask? Because the financial and logistical force behind the warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid was a much more insidious and, at the time, unknown character:

As Jason notes in his excellent post, Murtha urged cutting-and-running from Somalia too--making the sacrifices of the men who died their vanity.
Osama had something of a religious experience while in Somalia in which he predicted that America would cut-and-run. When the U.S. did pull its troops from Somalia, some Muslims--including Osama himself--took this as a sign that bin Laden had mystical powers. Bin Laden would later recall to ABC News:
Even though the reason most Democrats have for wanting our troops to immediately withdraw from Iraq comes from a good place (not wanting our troops to be harmed), the lesson our Islamist enemies will learn from such a withdraw is that the U.S. is weak, just as they predicted. We cannot let them have such a victory. The time for the policy debate about a military action must be BEFORE troops are deployed. Once they are deployed, it must be the policy of the United States of America to win at all costs. Anything less will only reify the mystic worldview of Islamists in believing that Allah is on their side and will lead to more acts of terror around the world.

Osama got it wrong. It's not the American soldier that runs in defeat after a few blows, it's these traitorous Liberals and their enablers in the mainstream media who are the bloody cowards.

A much more important question for all you dumb@sses, but is way above your head cause you are a bunch of dumb@sses would be
1)what were US soldiers doing in Somali to begin with.
2)what are US soldiers doing in Iraq to begin with.
Nothing besides screwing in other countries affairs where the US has no right to meddle.
When you continue a road of stupid policy, soldiers will die, in vain.
Murtha is giving you apes a great opportunity to jump back on the side of right, but instead you crawl deeper in the anus of wrong.
good luck pulling your head out.
choke on that turkey bluecoats.

They were in Somalia to try to feed starving people you fucktard moron, a mission which was an outgrowth of liberal foreign policies, as exemplified by your golden boy Bubba Clinton. Tell you what, if I ever see you starving, I won't screw around in your affairs, since I have no right to meddle.
This post is a prime example of why all liberals should be rounded up and dumped into an abandoned strip mine, alive, then covered over and forgotten about.

well stated Improbulus! I would help round up the liberals and dump their sorry anti-American asses in the mine with you. Liberals and the MSM are the biggest threat to America's existance!

"1)what were US soldiers doing in Somali to begin with."
Good question, no good answer. We had no national interest in being there. However, once there the point becomes moot.
"2)what are US soldiers doing in Iraq to begin with."
We are there because we had a national interest in removing the Hussein regime. We are still there because we have a national interest in what sort of regime emerges. But, thanks for playing.
"Nothing besides screwing in other countries affairs where the US has no right to meddle."
We have a right to meddle in any country where we have a national interest.
"When you continue a road of stupid policy, soldiers will die, in vain."
When you don't support the troops and their mission, that is what makes their deaths vain. YOU make their death vain, not the policy. Policies are inherently neutral, only people construct meaning.
"Murtha is giving you apes a great opportunity to jump back on the side of right, but instead you crawl deeper in the anus of wrong."
Murtha is giving us 'apes' an opportunity to see how much people like you actually hate America and wish for her defeat.
You, on the Left, are like the abusive husband. You love America, of this I have no doubt, but only on your own terms and only inasmuch as America pleases you. You also love America so much that you will take every opportunity to beat her up when she displeases you.
Good luck pulling your head out of your ass. Again, thanks for playing.

ironic.
one minute the United States is accused of not helping Africa because "they have no oil" yet when American soldiers are deployed in order to support the United Nations peace keeping and relief efforts they "shouldn't be there" and we have no "strategic need" to be there.
Then the left says the United States should have waited for the United Nations inspectors in Iraq, then you critique the U.S for supporting the United Nations?
Arguing with the left is like a dog chasing it's own tail.

That's why I don't argue with them Dave, I just disparage them, which is actually better treatment than they deserve, and far better than they will get when TSHTF.

You noticed too? That's because their tactic is to play both ends against the middle-- the middle being the United States. One set of moonbats vilifies the U.S. for intervening, while the other set of moonbats vilifies the U.S. for NOT intervening. Both sets of moonbats make mutually exclusive arguments but it doesn't matter because what really counts is their mutual hatred of America. And yet I just wouldn't DARE question their patriotism.
