Not that I would want to give Bill any points for integrity, but in all fairness he inherited Somalia from Bush I

It doesn't matter who Billigula inherited Somalia from, what matters is how the boy Emperor conducted himself regarding Somalia and the answer is: disgracefully.

I seem to recall that when Clinton tried to implement strong measures, he was accused of a “Wag the Dog” scenario by Republicans.

Irrelevant. If Clinton thought strong measures were called for, what Republicans called it shouldn't have mattered.

Unfortunately, Shinseki was right when he urged at least 350,000 troops.

Shinseki is an idiot whose claim to fame was urging cute little berets for all the troops and the day the exit door smacked him on the ass was a good day.

When that flap was going on I asked my son how many he thought we should have, and he said 450,000.

With absolute respect for your son and appreciation for his service, could you elaborate on his experience as a strategic planner?

Did Bubba inherit his apparent dislike for aspirin from Pres. Bush as well. Cuause Clinton destroyed more apirin (and probably some innocent people) than terrorists as best I can tell.
