Murtha urged Clinton to pull out of Somalia: "Our welcome has been worn out." Rep Murtha told NBC's Today Show in Sept 1993 Murtha declared that President Clinton had been "listening to our suggestions and I think you'll see him move those troops out very quickly." Two weeks after 18 U.S. Rangers were killed Mutha visited U.S. forces in Somalia. Upon his return he proclaimed to the world that the Mogadishu defeat had a devastating impact on the Ranger's morale. "They're subdued compared to normal morale of elite forces." Murtha said the U.S. had no choice but to pull out now. "There's no military solution."
