It's a lie to say *any* POTUS would have done the same as Obama. Here's some who wouldn't have:

William Henry Harrison

James Buchanan

Warren G. Harding

Herbert Hoover

Jimmy Carter

Bill Clinton

Al Gore

George W. Bush

I'm extrapolating from the leadership qualities of the others. I think you'd have a hard time arguing any of them had the grit and organizational capacity to see this kind of mission through, even with today's tools.

Agreed that he wouldn't have been hawkish enough, but Mogadishu wasn't a total ass beating for us. 18 American KIA and 1500+ enemies KIA. That's some 300 shit.

ass beating in the sense that we botched the mission, due in no small part to the administration's refusal to provide them with the heavy armor they requested. Shit, we didn't even have APCs, let alone abrams. Also, he aborted the mission when we couldve captured MFH.

Clinton hit Sudan with a load of cruise missiles sometime before 9/11 thinking OBL was there so that's at least an attempt.

George W Bush wouldn't have? Are you schtick? He'dve sent the 82nd airborne if he got word.

Hoover took the blow for the massive credit expansion and distortion of the mid 20s (i.e. not his fault or reflective of him). His incompetent follow-up to try and help certaintly worsened the situation but FDR just continued to do the same shit.
