And when GWB went to Congress to get authorization for the military, one Hillary Rodham Clinton, voted to support the action.
BTW, Bill Clinton was impeached.
Trump blames generals for Navy SEAL's death in Yemen raid
WASHINGTON — In a television interview, President Donald Trump appeared to blame his military leaders for a Navy SEAL's death last month during a troubled raid in Yemen, saying “they” pushed elite sailor into a dangerous mission.
During an appearance Tuesday on Fox News, Trump said the January raid on an al-Qaida stronghold “was started before I got here” and that generals within the Defense Department were insistent on moving ahead. The president did not identify the generals by name. Navy SEAL William "Ryan" Owens was killed and three other U.S. service members.
“This was something they wanted to do,” he said. “They came to me, they explained what they wanted to do, the generals, who are very respected, the most respected that we’ve had in many decades, I believe. And they lost Ryan.”

Nothing in that Act says anything about ground invasion by US armed forces. Bush lied about FAKE WMD's to get people to vote for his invasion plans that led to ISIS. Nice try though.
Actually the WMDs came right from Clinton then Hillary supported it.
Then how come Bill Clinton didn't order a ground invasion like Bush?
Once again you guys are getting duped by fake left wing news, Trump made a very simple decision right off the bat that flipped the war, he took the handcuffs off the generals.
There was literally dozens of stories about this same decision right at the start of the Trump admin complaining about how he let the army run wild, Liberals were worried Trump was just being lazy by allowing the army to do what they need to do in order to win a war, now the Kurds are waving Trump flags.
This is the most disingenous bullshit in history, you guys must really have to contort yourselves to come to the conclusion Obama was right about to clean up ISIS when it was his own naievete that led to them prospering. Obama led to the rise of ISIS, with a hands off approach, and Trump ended it, and ISIS quickly got toppled.
The Kurds know who to support, but CNN and the liberals dont seem to, apparently they are on the same side as ISIS.
I guess David Ignatius from the Washington post was lying when he went on MSNBC to trash Trump after coming home from the war, and he had to admit Trump had it right in Syria. LOL
You guys need to get your news from more than just liberal sources, but i can destroy your argument with two liberal sources.
Here is David Ignatius saying how the Kurds, and commanders of the U.S. army feel about Trump.

And Here is a perfect example of how liberals felt before ISIS was toppled, from the New York Times in April.
You dont get too have it both ways, you just look like a fool when you try to do that, Ignatius says that Kurds are celebrating Trumps decision in July, when the New York Times was setting Trump up for failure in april over the thought of Trump unleashing the Military..........
But yeah it was really Obama who took out ISIS, lol.
Trump Gives Military New Freedom. But With That Comes Danger.
WASHINGTON — President Trump has let the military know that the buck stops with them, not him. The Pentagon, after eight years of chafing at what many generals viewed as micromanaging from the Obama White House, is so far embracing its new freedom.
Officials say that much of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s plan to defeat the Islamic State, which Mr. Mattis delivered to the White House in February but has yet to make public, consists of proposals for speeding up decision-making to allow the military to move more quickly on raids, airstrikes, bombing missions and arming allies in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere. Commanders argue that loosening restrictions — as Mr. Trump has already done for American operations in much of Somalia and parts of Yemen — could lead to a faster defeat of Islamic State militants in not only the Middle East but also the Horn of Africa.
Yet with the new freedoms come new dangers for the military, including the potential of increased civilian casualties, and the possibility that Mr. Trump will shunt blame for things that go wrong to the Pentagon. Mr. Trump already did that after the botched raid in Yemen in January, which led to the death of Chief Petty Officer William Owens, a member of the Navy SEALs known as Ryan, despite having signed off on that raid himself.
