He should have been blasted. His cut and run from Somalia shocked the hell out of OBL who then became convinced that the US would not retaliate against terrorism. It caused 9-11 to happen.

I've wondered if Somalia was GHWB's farewell "frick you" to Clinton. Bush landed the Marines to support humanitarian aid to Somalia and left Billy Jeff/ Les Aspin to handle the fallout.

Come on, man. Don't believe OBL thought for one second that the US would not retaliate from a big, successful terrorist attack on US soil like they planned and executed. In fact, that's what they wanted to do. Start a "war" to escalate the us versus them (USA/Israel) fight.
