While I was deployed there, I don't ever recall Bill Clinton (or big daddy Bush for that matter) lying about why we were there. It started out as a humanitarian mission, but quickly deteriorated into a nation building effort....a huge foreign policy mistake in my humble opinion, but not a lie.
Osama bin Laden has commented directly on the US cutting and running from Somalia. Since you were deployed there, you should remember one of our nation's finest being dragged dead through the street, and the surrender that happened soon after.
A complete disgrace- and one that emboldened kook savages in that part of the world.
