        These types of comments never elaborate or talk about other relevant things like how Obama didn’t take us into a full blown war with Iran

          Obama did destroy Libya. Is your point that it was better to turn Libya into a country with open-air slave markets and massacre thousands of people, or is your point that it’s better than the Iran War because it didn’t backfire as splendidly?

            Leaving out the context that Libya was in a civil I’ll war and actively killings its citizens. This actually had some stated purpose.

            Whether it wouldve been better to not intervene we can’t know but what we do know is based on his actions and words have stayed consistent since he’s been in office. It give you an idea of his intentions.

            And wondered why soldiers drone-bombing civilians from the comfort of air-conditioned offices, thousands of miles away, got PTSD.

          Why don’t you use the same internet you’re using to look it up? You’ll remember longer.

      Obama has been maligned for it too. Trump deserves the same ridicule.
