Battle for Mogadishu continues

Lets say that Clinton balls up and continues Operation Gothic Serpent after he has lost those 19 troops in Mogadishu, what happens? How does Somalia in general and the UN react?
 
Politically, it would be a catastrophe. After Black Hawk Down, more interventionism was the last thing Americans wanted.
 
Just how many days was it before the US soldiers were withdrawn?

Oh yeah, it was five months. US/UN forces did not start withdrawing until the following Febuary & the last left in latter March. Also another US Army battalion was sent, standing up in Mogadishu in December. A cease fire of sorts with Adid was fairly easy to organize. He had lost a significant number of his best fighters & combat leaders and had little interest in risking another confrontation that winter.
