In Somolia we were trying to protect humanitarian aid from evil war lords who stole food coming in. When we went after one of the war lords a few of our guys were killed in a terrible event shown in the movie Black Hawk Down. Because it was the Clinton Administration we pulled out and didn't stay to finish the job because things got too hot. Many of the service men wanted to stay and finish the job. When I saw the movie I didn't like that we just pulled out because the other side got too aggressive. I heard recently that Ben Ladin saw our " pull out if things get too tough" attitude and said we were really a paper tiger. Supposedly, he thought that crashing several of our planes into the WTC and pentagon would cause us to run from him just like we ran in Somolia. IS IT ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED THAT OUR RESPONSE IN SOMOLIA CAUSED OBL TO THINK OF US AS A PAPER TIGER, THUS ENCOURAGING HIM TO PLAN AND IMPLIMENT 911.

recycled insults. It the CHICOMS and North Vietnamese that were always harping on paper tiger this, paper tiger that.
Ask Sadaam if we're paper tigers. We yanked his a** out of a hole in the ground. So much for that Supreme Dictator for Life.
