I don't get it.  This move was developed under the Obama administration.  Trump signed off, but it was indeed developed prior to Trump taking office.

Maybe - had Obama been in office - the final sign off would not have occurred.  But at this point, I can't see how American blood is only on Trump's hands.   I feel for anyone who's lost a child to war.  So I'm not fully supporting O or T.  But what's fair is fair.

How Donald Trump's first military action went from the Obama White House to deadly raid[/quote]
The buck never stops with Trump, huh?! I wondered how my posts I would have to go before I would hit the "thanks Obama" poster.   :roll: [/quote]
I posted that, and I voted for O twice. I fail to see how what I've pointed out is blaming Obama 100%.  It took two to tango.  Someone set the set; the other called action.

I at least can look at all sides and not hold O up as some god who saved America.

DP here.  And just no.  There are certain types of decisions that are really only the responsibility of the person who decides to go forward with them, and a military operation of this nature is that.  Maybe Obama would have said no, maybe he wouldn't have, or maybe he would have asked for a better plan first.  But he would have had to own the decision regardless of the outcome.  P45 was fully empowered to say no, or to say improve it, or whatever.  He said yes, and then tried to shirk responsibility for his yes.

"With great power comes great responsibility."  That line was used as a joke in "Twelfth Night", but it is true regardless.  P45 is a coward who can't even accept responsibility for sending another person's son to die.  He's unwilling to risk admitting he made a mistake let alone risk his life.  I thought nothing he could do would further disgust me, but the way he's crapped on the memory of this soldier is revolting.[/quote]
