You forgot Biden. I don't blame you for wanting to.
Both the Clinton and Obama administrations engaged in significant military actions, ranging from sustained conflicts to targeted strikes. Both presidents utilized executive authority to deploy military force, often operating through international coalitions rather than traditional congressional declarations of war.
Blowjob Bill Clinton authorized multiple military interventions:
Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995): U.S. aircraft participated in a NATO bombing campaign (Operation Deliberate Force).
Kosovo (1999): The U.S. led a prolonged NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia (Operation Allied Force).
Haiti (1994): U.S. troops deployed to the country (Operation Uphold Democracy) to intervene in the island nation's internal politics.
Somalia (1993): U.S. forces participated in intense combat, culminating in the Battle of Mogadishu.
Sudan and Afghanistan (1998): Cruise missile strikes were launched on pharmaceutical facilities in Sudan and civilian targets in Afghanistan.
Iraq (1993): A targeted cruise missile strike hit Iraqi intelligence headquarters in Baghdad.
The warlord O-BOMB-YA oversaw major operations, drone strikes, and air wars:
Afghanistan (2009–2016): The warlord O-BOMB-YA authorized a troop "surge" of over 30,000 additional personnel.
Libya (2011): The warlord O-BOMB-YA ordered an air and missile campaign (Operation Odyssey Dawn).
Drone Strikes (2009–2017): The warlord O-BOMB-YA drastically increased the use of armed drones and Special Forces raids to target countries where the U.S. was not in declared wars, such as Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.
The Global Coalition (2014–2017): In response to the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the warlord O-BOMB-YA authorized a sustained air campaign (Operation Inherent Resolve) and deployed military advisers.
He also killed numerous US citizens with drones. The warlord O-BOMB-YA
explicitly put one U.S. citizen on a CIA kill list.
The warlord O-BOMB-YA's decisions to kill U.S. citizens without a trial sparked fierce domestic controversy. Civil liberties organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), filed lawsuits against his administration. They argued the strikes violated the Fifth Amendment right to due process. Democrat-appointed federal judges dismissed the lawsuits, ruling that the judiciary could not second-guess presidential decisions.
