Obama - The War President

June 8

The Obama administration has deployed two aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea for the first time since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. The ships are expected to launch strikes on the Islamic State across Syria and Iraq — the very country President Barack Obama promised to disentangle the United States from when he was running for office in 2008.

The returning double punch brings some much-needed firepower against the Islamic State as U.S. aircraft back up Iraqi forces in reclaiming the cities of Fallujah and Mosul, and Sunni rebels and Kurdish fighters who are battling it out with the Islamist group across northern Syria.

It's a 30 day deployment extension. Not uncommon.

You're kidding me right Prepper? Over a decade Bush had our military in Iraq and Afghanistan, 20,000 wounded, over 4000 killed, untold billions spent, and you call Obama a War President? At worst he oversaw the drawdown, at best he expedited that drawdown. Libya and Syria are piss ant regional conflicts in where our assistance amounted to a hill of beans.

Actually, that's not strictly correct...and having planes in the air over Libya and Syria don't count, how many body bags has Obama sent to Dover versus Bush, that's your factor.

There is a world out there...they aren't all nice. The President has to react to the threats as he needs to.
But.
We are NOT involved in conflict even remotely close to what we were eight years ago.

Ya Bush was war monger as I have pointed out for the last Decade and a half.

Obama is worse. Especially when you consider he lied about not doing that very thing. War.

You have GOT to be kidding me, Bush maims 20,000 out of what...14 years, and both Iraq AND Afghanistan are worse then when we went in, 4000 will never see home again, and you want me to hear the absurd notion that Obama is worse, pardon me, I am going to call my son up and say "See son, you've have lost me under Bush, but hey, it's ok, because Obama couldn't get you out fast enough"

I really can't believe that I've gotten annoyed enough that I'm using my SYI, you're a F*cking idiot Prepper.

"14 years, and both Iraq AND Afghanistan"

7 of those are on Obama's head.

Congress.
Congress has handed off that responsibility to the President.
They can, and should take it back.
Obama has requested them to step up with their say and they have declined to act.

Somebody has to actually...you know.. Do their job.

The President goes to War without congress's direct approval, the President is breaking the law.

Actually, you should know, that the President can under the National Security Act of 1947 (amended 1952) put US military forces in harm's way for 90 days without invoking the War Powers Act.
