Rep. Tim Burchett just called out the Democrats’ sudden concern over presidential military action.
“Obama bombed 8 countries without Congressional approval. It’s disingenuous for them to say this is ‘unprecedented’…they killed Americans in recent memory.

"You poke the bull, you get the horns!”
The left loved it when Obama did it, but now act shocked when Trump responds to Iran. Classic double standard.
The countries targeted during his presidency include:
ReplyDeleteAfghanistan: As the primary theater of the "War on Terror," it saw a heavy reliance on both manned aircraft and drone strikes to combat the Taliban and al-Qaeda.
Iraq: Obama initially withdrew combat troops in 2011 but returned to authorize an extensive air campaign against ISIS starting in 2014.
Syria: Airstrikes began in 2014 as part of a coalition effort to target ISIS and the al-Qaeda-linked Khorasan Group.
Libya: In 2011, the U.S. participated in a NATO-led intervention to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians, which ultimately led to the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. Strikes against ISIS in Libya resumed later in his term.
Pakistan: The administration significantly increased the frequency of drone strikes in northwest Pakistan targeting al-Qaeda and Taliban leadership.
Yemen: Frequent drone strikes were conducted throughout his presidency to combat al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
Somalia: Airstrikes and drone operations targeted militants associated with al-Shabaab.
