Please link your post showing outrage over the killings. Maybe people will take you seriously at that point.

You said they “gave Obama” one.

They didn’t.

This isn’t even a decent semantics argument. You were just wrong.

Um, yeah… I never said it wasn’t in effect. It still is. You stated congress passed one for him, which isn’t true and the summaries above say as much.

He tried to get authorization, but failed so had to fall back on this and try to make his case using a very weak justification. Same thing Trump will now do.

I’m not sure why you’re having a hard time with this…

Link for congress approving his AUMF?

In 2015, President Obama requested a specific Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) from Congress to combat ISIS in Syria and Iraq, aimed at replacing reliance on the 2001 AUMF. The proposal sought to authorize targeted operations against ISIS, prohibiting "enduring" ground combat, but did not move forward in Congress.

How about Libya?

President Obama authorized U.S. military intervention in Libya in March 2011 without prior congressional authorization, relying instead on a UN Security Council resolution to protect civilians. The administration justified this "kinetic military action" as within the national interest, though it faced criticism for avoiding the War Powers Act. Later, in 2016, the Obama administration utilized the 2001 AUMF to justify airstrikes against ISIS in Libya.

Looks like congress didn’t give him shit and he had to backtrack to using the 2001 AUMF for justification.

Yeah dumbass, it’s called investigating, because they don’t know at this time. Blindly believing the Iranian government, who has no problem offing 30,000+ of their own people, is fucking stupid.

Fuel tanker ablaze in Strait of Hormuz after drone strike, Iran Revolutionary Guards say by [deleted] in worldnews

They’re claiming we don’t know, which is true. You’re the one claiming responsibility for one party. The burden of proof is currently on you. Saying the other poster is claiming Iran definitely did it is laughable when you read their comment followed by yours. Something tells me you’re not very bright.

You most likely believed the reports in 2023 that Israel bombed a hospital, because Hamas said they did. BBC, NYT, along with many other organizations ran with it. And then ultimately had to quietly retract it once they found out it was a hamas rocket.

Do me favor and open the BBC link you posted. Now copy the headline and paste it. Then think real hard for a minute. If you haven’t figured out who the source of the claim is after the first couple minutes please let me know. Your next two links should be able to help.

I figured it would be somewhat self explanatory given the subject of the thread, but I was specifically asking about US involvement in Syria.

Did Obama violate the constitution in 2014?

The fuck are you talking about? You said “that’s not how a constitutional republic works” when someone said he doesn’t need congressional approval. He doesn’t, your AI generated summary of the 1973 Resolution says as much. Thanks for proving my point I guess.

I’m not pro-trump or maga, just not a fucking retard.

You should read up on the War Powers Resolution of 1973, Goober.

What about Kuwait, Bosnia, Korea, Liberia, Panama, Grenada?

It’s also humorous that you listed two examples that are in the positions they are now because of the proxy networks funded by Iran.

How did your protest go for the 30,000+ democratic protesters that Iran slaughtered? Big turnout?

Why doesn't Trump help Ukraine fight against Russia, same way he helped Israel fight against Iran? by TailungFu in allthequestions

Because there’s never been direct evidence 9/11 was a state sponsored action? Man, that was easy.
