Everyone else kept telling you this is what you were voting for dumbass.
So anyone wonder why Trump hasn't had a live press conference? He usually is all about this sort of thing.
You would think he would want to get on the air and brag about this.
How long does Hamas keep posturing now that their sugar daddy ate a bullet?
Trump killed the Ayatollah because Iran has oil and Trump liked humping teens
He did a good thing, but for a bad reason.
He did a good thing, but for a bad reason.
Is it a good thing? People said that about Saddam Hussein and then 1.5 million Iraqis died over the next 10 years.
This has a much higher chance of blowback than Iraq did.
Imperial wars eventually bring down the empire.
We don't know what is going to happen and my concern is they will end up with someone somehow worse. But the guy they had was a religious fanatic and spent almost 50 years suppressing the population of the country. He can burn in hell.

I won't be surprised if the war is over with against Iran with regime change made in less than 2 weeks as good as things are going.
Do you know what cotton pickin' is referencing?
I dont think you mean that, so it would be better to use a different euphamism.
#news Fast Fact: Obama, Bill Clinton & Joe Biden ordered airstrikes - without explicit congressional approval - k*lling civilians, including Americans
#DC
As Democrat politicians and paid protester fume over President Trump's strikes in Iran - saying they were illegal and he needed constitutional authority, it may be a good time to take a look back at drone strikes that k*lled civilians and were ordered by Obama, Clinton and Biden.
️Obama:
Obama's aggressive expansion of U.S. airstrikes and drone campaigns from 2009 to 2017 resulted in an estimated 20,000 to 40,000 total deaths from airstrikes – a including ~3,000–6,000 civilians and 4,000 from Drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia
During Obama’s presidency the United States conducted at least 27,313 airstrikes and drone strikes across seven countries
Afghanistan:
Obama escalated troop levels in 2009 in the country and ordered airstrikes, including drone strikes, without Congressional approval.
#Obama
Iraq:
Obama ordered airstrikes starting against ISIS, bypassing Congressional authorization.
Syria:
Airstrikes started in September 2014 against ISIS. Obama initially sought Congressional approval in 2013 for strikes against Assad but stopped asking for approval after he was denied and decided to strike without authorization.
Libya:
In March 2011, Obama authorized airstrikes leading to Gaddafi’s overthrow. No Congressional approval was sought, Obama later called this a mistake, acknowledging that he didn't have legal grounding to take action
Yemen:
Drone strikes started in 2009 against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. These were not authorized by a Congressional vote, and the strikes resulted in the k*lling of civilians
Somalia:
Airstrikes and drone strikes against al-Shabaab started in 2009. Obama did not get congressional approval
#Somalia

#Pakistan
Philippines:

Mali:

Niger:
U.S. airstrikes started in 2016 against AQIM and ISIS affiliates with no Congressional authorization.
️Bill Clinton
Clinton's 1999 intervention in Yugoslavia bypassed congressional approval.
The 78-day bombing blitz, launched without a war declaration or War Powers Resolution compliance, inflicted heavy civilian losses amid disputed intelligence.
The House rejected a war resolution, yet Clinton pressed on, citing executive prerogative – a move the ACLU slammed as unconstitutional.
During Clinton's eight-year tenure (1993–2001) more than 41,000 U.S.-participating airstrikes and cruise missile launches were conducted without new congressional authorization killing thousands of civilians.
️Joe Biden
Biden's 1,200 airstrikes and drone strikes without new congressional approvals claimed ~3,000–5,000 total lives, with g 200–400 civilians, a 5–10% rate from misidentified targets
