They're surprised?
That's what happens when you use half @$$ed intervention.
Blame Clinton!
Now, if Bush Sr. had gone in to help, it would've turned out different. I'll grant that we'd still have a strong presence there, but we'd be accomplishing what we set out to do.
None of this turning tail and running when it becomes politically expedient to do so. None of this letting the United Nations try and keep the peace with handicapped peacekeepers.
I have cousins in the Peacekeepers, and it sucks knowing that their commanders are taking orders from stupid politicians with highly liberal policies in regards to the use of force.
You can blame Clinton all you want but I don't see Bush doing anything. I also don't see him doing anything in Zimbabwe or South Africa.
