Clinton did it with Somalia and Republicans blasted him for it.
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.
