Tuesday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) argued the flare-up of hostilities between the United States and Iran could be traced to Barack Obama’s presidency and the failed Iran nuclear deal.
Gaetz said what he believed we were witnessing with regards to the United States’ handling of Iran was the Trump doctrine.
“If the president wanted war with Iran, he’s had plenty of opportunities,” Gaetz said. “He’s chosen to exercise restraint, and I think we’re seeing the Trump doctrine. It’s one where we strike and then move. We don’t invade and then try to persuade people that we’re liberators.”
The Florida Republican said the violence underway could be tied to the Iran deal brokered by the Obama administration and said he hoped President Donald Trump’s handling of the situation would not be a continuation of the previous administration’s policy.
“It’s obvious the violence that Iran has undertaken has been animated by the Iran deal. It has been funded by the Iran deal,” he continued. “And thus, we are in this circumstance because of the failures of the Obama-Biden policy. But let’s make sure the Trump doctrine is not a continuation of the Obama-Bush doctrine. Let’s make sure we are able to match our military might with the right strategic decisions to get out of the Middle East.”

Another great consequence of Trump’s presidency that BHO never thought would come to pass: the exposure of Obama’s betrayal of the US to Iran.
Obama and his billions of US dollars to Iran was the first, primary and direct link to Soleimani terrorism.
Their 80 million dollar bounty to take out Trump? WHERE do you think that money came from?
That’s exactly what I replied to Rob “Meathead” Reiner’s idiotic tweet last night.
His hero Zero funded it.
obama and biden = two of the dumbest people in gov’t.
Matt is pretty awesome.
This article has merit, but the start of the Iranian problem goes a little father back than obama.
It starts with the destabilization of the ME with the Bush invasion of Iraq over fake WMD’s. There was no valid reason to waste American lives and materials. Yes Saddam was a monster, but he did keep Iran at bay. He got his spanking during the first war regarding Kuwait. That was enough.
Ever since Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan there has been one war after another with no end in sight. It’s almost as if by design with the swamp not only getting their military industrial complex folks rich, but destabilizing Western Europe and the US with refugees.
What obama did was make worse what Bush started.
Pelosi and her Democratic lemmons are to blame for Soleimani’s recent attacks including the one on the Embassy.
They impeached the POTUS and Soleomani thought that impeachment meant the POTUS unable and incapable of responding to terror attacks because of it. So Pelosi’s impeachment in essence turned Soleimani loose to do his think. Thank you Nancy!!!
Mr. Trump is having to unscrew Obama’s legacy. And Obama/Biden left him an awful lot to unscrew.
We will be affected by the One’s legacy for years to come and still don’t know what all Obama did to this country.
Pelosi's understanding of the constitutional authority of the president when it comes to using military force seems to depend on the party affiliation of the president in question. Pelosi supported former President Barack Obama -- a Democrat -- using military force against the Libyan regime of Moammar Gadhafi without prior congressional authorization.
Those of us that pay very close attention know that Barack Hussein Obama was raised and in his heart is a Muslim as he admitted as much on live TV to George step-on-all-of-us.
Upon which of course Georgie Porgie corrected him immediately and said no of course you’re a Christian!
Now if you’re a Muslim you essentially I have to choose one of two sides sense it’s just a war plan - and an evil doctrine
so you got a choose one side of the evil
Sunni. Or Shiite
It’s arguable that the Sunnis and Shiites hate each other more than Us infidels
Now it’s very clear that Barack Hussein Obama loved loved loved the Iranian mullahs
I believe this is because Valerie Jarrett , his essential main operator , was born and raised there
Jon fn Kerry has a daughter in law from there so he had deep ties to the mollis
did anyone on God’s green earth think that iran wasn’t going to use that $150 billion against the US?
