"On August 29 Task Force Ranger flew into Mogadishu. They were led by General William Garrison and consisted of 440 elite troops from Delta Force. Their mission was to capture Aidid. But, at the same time, in September 1993 the Clinton Administration began a secret plan to negotiate with Aidid. U.S. military commanders within Somalia were not apprised of this. U.S. Defense Secretary Les Aspin denied a request for armored reinforcements made by General Montgomery."Even though the Kenyan Muslim finally met with General Stanley McChrystal, and spent a twenty-five (25) minute "...session..." that was "...a continuation of ongoing consultations about the way forward in Afghanistan", I am sure that the Kenyan Muslim will let this happen again and I wonder how much dancing there will be on the White House lawn when it does.
