Clinton Slams Netanyahu While Iran Bombs Israeli Cities | WATCH “We gotta convince our friends in the Middle East that we’ll stand with them and try to protect them.” However, Clinton strongly condemned the targeting of civilians,.."who are not politically involved one way or the other, just wanna live decent lives, is not a very good solution.”
However, Israel was not targeting "civilians,.. ‘who are not politically involved one way or the other, just wanna live decent lives, is not a very good solution’” any more than he would say he was, and Obama with his 540 strikes. https://www.cfr.org/blog/obamas-final-drone-strike-data
As Donald Trump assumes office today, he inherits a targeted killing program that has been the cornerstone of U.S. counterterrorism strategy over the past eight years. On January 23, 2009, just three days into his presidency, President Obama authorized his first kinetic military action: two drone strikes, three hours apart, in Waziristan, Pakistan, that killed as many as twenty civilians. Two terms and 540 strikes later, Obama leaves the White House after having vastly expanding and normalizing the use of armed drones for counterterrorism and close air support operations in non-battlefield settings—namely Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia.
Throughout his presidency, I have written often about Obama’s legacy as a drone president, including reports on how the United States could reform drone strike policies, what were the benefits of transferring CIA drone strikes to the Pentagon, and (with Sarah Kreps) how to limit armed drone proliferation. .... many needed reforms were left undone—in large part because there was zero pressure from congressional members, who, with few exceptions, were the biggest cheerleaders of drone strikes.
Once a sunt, alwaays a sunt!
Nancy Pelosi, whore until the end........

I remember that movie. “The Snake Pit” with Olivia DeHaviland, right? I wasn’t even in grammar school yet but that movie scared me. I wouldn’t be surprised if that movie was why mental institutions were eventually shut down, and how’s that working out?
nazi pelouzy needs to STFU, KMA and FOAD !!! Useless old hag...
And probably a hundred times after. I never hoped for republicans to keep Congress more than next year. It’s that urgent to keep those insane weirdo out of power.

I think that everybody should remember that if it were not for double standards, Democrats would have no standards whatsoever.
Pres. Trump did what was needed in a timely fashion, those other three mentioned...well, their words didn’t mean much anyway. So fortunate they weren’t in power at the time.
Trump ordered Syrian air strike before dinner with Xi
That needs to be a road sign to keep the memory alive for liberals.
