Somalia – Didn’t Bush 1 do this too?
As if Bush II hasn’t harmed the country enough during his 8 years in power, it now looks like he even wants to recreate his daddy’s Somalia problems. A brief history lesson for those with memory problems….
Back in the fall of 1992 just after the election in which Bush I was thrown out (because he sucked) the US media decided that the situation in Somalia was deplorable and that it was our fault. Bush I (after talking it over with President elect Clinton) decided to send in US troops to help out. History shows that it didn’t work out so well…. 16 years later, Somalia is still run by “warlords” and there’s no effective government in the country.
Anyway, according to the news (here’s a link to a story from AFP) “The US government said Wednesday that it believes a new UN Security Council resolution on Somalia authorizes air strikes against pirates in Somali territory.”
In other words, Bush II evidently wants to go out on the same note as daddy – sending US troops into harms way to be policemen instead of soldiers. I predict it’ll turn out the same way as well – with US soldiers dying in a place that has ZERO strategic importance to the US.
Bush is an idiot.
