Democrats Forget That Obama Ordered Over 2,800 Attacks Without Congressional Approval

Democrats Forget That Obama Ordered Over 2,800 Attacks Without Congressional Approval
By David Rufful - January 4, 2020

At the command of President Trump, U.S. military killed one of the world’s most dangerous men, Iran’s Quds Force commander, Qassem Suleimani. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expressed her disapproval disapproval in the President for not asking Congress before eliminating the Iranian General.

This is not the stance Pelosi took during the Obama Administration, when he commanded over 2,800 attacks in multiple countries with[out] consulting Congress.

Obama ordered strikes outside the Middle East in places like Somalia and Yemen. President Trump has been clear that the attack at the Iraq that ended the General’s life were in order to prevent a war, not start one.

The President has relied on the same statutory authority that allows him to deploy troops for 60 days with congressional approval that his predecessors used to carry on decades of war.

On Friday, Hogan Gidley (principal deputy press secretary to Trump) reiterated the administration’s “imminent attacks” assertion without evidence, but he then went on to hit back at critics by saying that when President Barack Obama
“killed” al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and Libyan dictator Moammar Gadaffi, he did so “without congressional approval.”

Gadaffi, the late Libyan dictator, “was not killed by the United States” — and the 2011 operation that killed bin Laden, according to Desiderio, came under the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF).

Obama’s administration “consulted members of Congress in advance of killing bin Laden.” And Gadaffi, was “killed by a mob,” not Obama.

And Trump ran on a promise to eliminate all terrorist leaders and their groups. In fact, he mentioned that to Congress right from the get go, so it shouldn't be any surprise to them what his intentions are, nor what he can legally do without 'begging' for permission.

If Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, Qassem Suleimani would have committed suicide, rather than dying at Trump's command.

The main reason no president or country killed Soleimani
is because it would do no good
and it hasn't and will not..

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a statement to Reuters that he is replacing Soleimani with the deputy commander of the Quds Force, Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani.

He said the program of the Quds Force, a paramilitary branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps,
"will be unchanged from the time of his predecessor."

Khamenei warned that a "harsh retaliation is waiting" for those who killed Soleimani
at Baghdad International Airport early Friday morning,
calling the slain commander the
"international face of resistance," the Associated Press reported.

/ Khamenei is a carboncopy of Soleimani
there will be no change.. A waste of missiles. [/b][/b]

Yes- it was part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)

Iran received 130 tons of uranium in 2015 and in late 2016 was approved to receive 130 tons in 2017.
For 15 years Iran will not engage in, or research, spent fuel reprocessing.

Iran will also not build any additional heavy-water reactors or accumulate heavy water for 15 years.

Iran's Fordow facility will stop enriching uranium and researching uranium enrichment for at least fifteen years;
the facility will be converted into a nuclear physics and technology center.

For 15 years Fordow will maintain no more than 1,044 IR-1 centrifuges in six cascades in one wing of Fordow.

"Two of those six cascades will spin without uranium and will be transitioned, including through appropriate infrastructure modification," for stable radioisotope production for medical, agricultural, industrial, and scientific use.
"The other four cascades with all associated infrastructure will remain idle.
" Iran will not be permitted to have any fissile material in Fordow.

Iran is implementing an Additional Protocol that will continue in perpetuity for as long as Iran remains a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)

((( trump killed the deal.. it was good to 2030-
