The author also noted that James Smith, a former Ranger captain and father of Cpl. Jamie Smith -- who bled to death after he was shot in the leg during the battle, because he could not be evacuated &endash; returned a letter of condolence from President Clinton. In rejecting it, he sent a letter of his own, blaming Clinton for the Mogadishu debacle.

Also not in the movie was an after-action incident between Clinton and the parents of two Rangers -- MSgt. Gary Gordon, 33, and SFC Randy Shughart, 35 &endash; who were killed in action but posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions.

McKenny said that family members were invited to the White House to receive the medals. Clinton reportedly invited the parents of Gordon and Shughart into the Oval Office for a private meeting.

When he did, "he stuck his hand out to shake the hands of the parents, but Randy Shughart's father refused to take Clinton's hand."

Then, McKenny said, "he looked Clinton in the face, told him he was responsible for his son's death, that it was for no purpose and that he wasn't fit to be president or commander in chief."

Smith, who had his left leg amputated after being wounded in Vietnam in the mid-60s, later said Clinton also didn't take responsibility for the decisions that left the Rangers without heavy armored support.

In a another incident, the author said that weeks later family members of many of the dead were called to Washington, D.C., to testify at congressional hearings into the debacle.

"When Clinton heard they were in town, he called them into his office for a meeting and told them that part of the reason they were dead was their own fault," McKenny said. "He said they may have been responsible for their own deaths because they were 'too aggressive' in Mogadishu."

One other incident that didn't make the movie -- or the American press, McKenny said -- happened after the wounded soldiers were brought back to Walter Reed Army Hospital outside Washington.

"Clinton was advised to go see them, but he didn't want to," McKenny said. "Somewhat reluctantly, he finally did go. When he got there, he offered to have his picture taken with each one of them. At least four turned him down, saying they wouldn't dishonor their dead friends or their uniform by having their pictures taken with him.

Black Hawk Down' doesn't tell whole story
Movie about Somalia military disaster leaves out Clinton episodes

"Election 2000: How the Military Vote Was Suppressed."

INTERVIEW Osama bin Laden (may 1998)   In the first part of this interview which occurred in May 1998, a little over two months before the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama bin Laden answers questions posed to him by some of his followers at his mountaintop camp in southern Afghanistan. In the latter part of the interview, ABC reporter John Miller is asking the questions.   Describe the situation when your men took down the American forces in Somalia.   After our victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press after the Gulf War in which it destroyed the infrastructure and the milk and dairy industry that was vital for the infants and the children and the civilians and blew up dams which were necessary for the crops people grew to feed their families. Proud of this destruction, America assumed the titles of world leader and master of the new world order. After a few blows, it forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling itself world leader and master of the new world order, and its politicians realized that those titles were too big for them and that they were unworthy of them. I was in Sudan when this happened. I was very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered, so was every Muslim....   The American people, by and large, do not know the name bin Laden, but they soon likely will. Do you have a message for the American people? I say to them that they have put themselves at the mercy of a disloyal government, and this is most evident in Clinton's administration....

BIN LADEN FINGERS CLINTON FOR TERROR SUCCESS (SEE FOOTAGE)
THE THREAT OF TERRORISM IS AS CLOSE AS A CLINTON IS TO THE OVAL OFFICE

WHY DID BILL CLINTON IGNORE TERRORISM?
Was it simply the constraints of his liberal mindset, or was it something even more threatening to our national security?

thanx to jla and Wolverine for the audio

But the big firefight in Mogadishu didn't take place unitl October 1993, and I don't think you can put the blame for that other than squarely on the Slickmeister.

[cwb]

Yeah...and that was mostly a UN/US humanitarian aid effort controlled by the US. After Clinton took office he (and the UN) immediately changed the objective from humanitarian to nation-building...with most control handed over to the UN on May 4th, 1993. Butros Gali even began using the US military as a tool to wage a more aggressive campaign against Aidid, whom he never liked.

Ironically, these more aggressive tactics were coming at a time when Clinton was drawing-down American presence and power in the region to not give an impression that we were occupying the nation. As a result, when the US campaign to capture Aidid was finally launched (supposedly without UN knowledge), the soldiers were left defenseless as all the heavy armor and machinery was denied for PR reasons.

[Bob]

It was a bit more than a Humanitarian effort form Day 1:

Providing general security under the original "Operation Restore Hope" ROE had absolutely nothing to do with trying to apprehend specific people as clinton tried to have our forces do. It was a total change of mission and was totally screwed up.

[hattend]

Is that the same woman who said "You Suck" and was arrested?

[MosesKnows]

"he stuck his hand out to shake the hands of the parents, but Randy Shughart's father refused to take Clinton's hand."

Then, McKenny said, "he looked Clinton in the face, told him he was responsible for his son's death, that it was for no purpose and that he wasn't fit to be president or commander in chief."

These very words were published in a U.K. newspaper at the time it occurred with no mention of the event in any American media.

[hattend]

Can we get over Clinton already?

So Able Danger is fake?

The DNC would love for us to get over it.

[KevinDavis]

Until the left gets over Nixon..

[TruthFactor]

Thank God for the internet and FreeRepublic. Otherwise the "whole" story would be forgotten and left to the MSM to spin.

[Rummyfan]

I would like to but.....


President Bush is fighting a war after fanatics murdered over three thousand Americnas on our home soil, yet he gets excoriated in the MSM becuase some grief-stricken mentally unstable mother thikns we can only fight a war if no one gets hurt.

Clinton presided over military fiascoes, hell, even the some-might-call-it-murder of innocents at Waco, yet the MSM gives him a free pass. Where is the MSM investigation into practices of the Clinton Admin which led to 911? Where is the investigation into Sandy Berger's theft of classified docs, yet they howl over the 'outing' of Valerie Plame? Where are the grieving relatives of those killed at Waco, at Mogadishu, in the Balkans, getting major face-time from the media scum? It just goes on and on...... It's hard to let it go!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Damn, I was just about to ping you (till I saw who posted it). Another outstanding post. Thanks!

[stockpirate]

Well I am sure that even though GW wasn't in the WH all of this had to be his fault.

God Bless our brave troops! And God bless their loved ones.

[malia]

"--The way I remember it, Clinton was responsible for expanding the mission in Somalia,---"

Trying to wipe the slate clean of the anti-America demon(strating) he did in a foreign country.

The first of many examples of the MSM agenda!!!

[Incorrigible]

Thanks Mia!!!!!

[Mia T]

;)

[rattrap]

That's what I was thinking, the further away his presidency gets the sillier it looks to go on and on about it.

[Incorrigible]

Can we get over Clinton already?

I'll get over Clinton when he's gotten over 20 years in San Quentin.

[cwb]

I remember this story, also. In fact, I thought she was taken away by the Secret Service when it happened. It's amazing how protestors of Clinton were treated compared to those who protest Bush. Heck, just today Bush was again singing the praises of Sheehan's right to protest...while those who did Clinton were often arrested, beat-up or audited by the IRS.

[Little Bill]

You might find this interesting.

[OldFriend]

When three thousand dead Americans who died on 9/11 and our troops killed and wounded in Iraq are avenged, then maybe the klinton era will be excised from our memory.
