This article calls the attempt to capture Mohammed Farah Aidid a "disaster", and that's not telling the whole story. The US casualties were only 18 compared with well over 100 of Aidid's militia killed. Also, the aim was to capture 2 of Aidid's top officers, which they successfully did. They were hoping that Aidid would be there, but he wasn't. It wasn't a failure just because we lost 18 soldiers. Compared to the enemy losses that's not much. 24.236.248.179 (talk) 03:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
