We had marines there to monitor the country nd keep a "foot-print
there until 1993 when 20 marines were killed by Somali Terrorists and
Bill Clinton withdrew the marines in an "after dark" escape.

What the hell are you talking about? The Blackhawk Down event was Army
Rangers, not marines. And they were operating under the UN, not the
US. Read a book occassionally. Try Anthony Zinni's autobiography since
he commanded the marines there and returned when the UN was running
the show.
