...the botched 1993 operation that left 18 US servicemen and 300 Somalis dead...

Oh, it was a lot more than 300.

Let the Somalis experience the Taliban II for awhile. Let the world compare Somalia to Iraq. And let the UN deal with it (snicker)...

"Oh, it was a lot more than 300."

Yup. I've read 800 to over 1,000 dead.

Oh, it was a lot more than 300.

I was going to comment on the number too. All the estimates I saw, the numbers had commas in them.
