I don't know if Clinton lied much about Somalia, but based on his track-record, it wouldn't suprise me.
Clinton refused to give the troops in Somalia heavy equipment and kick-ass weapons because he didn't want to turn it into a big incedent. Well it did, and many American troops died as a result of this in Mogadishu (spelling?).
This is even mentioned in the Movie "Black Hawk Down," when the troops refer to "Washington" not giving them the big weapons and stuff.
