Yea, see that’s why a question like that has to come with qualifiers. Andrew Johnson was a democrat, but he was a conservative democrat from before the party flip.
He’d be a republican under the modern party ideals.
The White House and Pentagon boast that the targeted killing program is precise and that civilian deaths are minimal. However, documents detailing a special operations campaign in northeastern Afghanistan, Operation Haymaker, show that between January 2012 and February 2013, U.S. special operations airstrikes killed more than 200 people. Of those, only 35 were the intended targets. During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets. In Yemen and Somalia, where the U.S. has far more limited intelligence capabilities to confirm the people killed are the intended targets, the equivalent ratios may well be much worse.
The documents show that the military designated people it killed in targeted strikes as EKIA — “enemy killed in action” — even if they were not the intended targets of the strike. Unless evidence posthumously emerged to prove the males killed were not terrorists or “unlawful enemy combatants,” EKIA remained their designation, according to the source. That process, he said, “is insane. But we’ve made ourselves comfortable with that. The intelligence community, JSOC, the CIA, and everybody that helps support and prop up these programs, they’re comfortable with that idea.”
The source described official U.S. government statements minimizing the number of civilian casualties inflicted by drone strikes as “exaggerating at best, if not outright lies.”
Multiple provisions in U.S. law restrict the sale or provision of weapons to other countries, including the federal Arms Export Control Act, the Foreign Assistance Act, and the Leahy Law. The open letter draws on evidence from Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and other watchdogs to argue that continuing to provide weapons to Israel blatantly violates these laws, in addition to international treaties.
You made TWO braindead Both Sides arguments under the same post, great job. Forget to sign into your alt account again?
Unlike republicans and democrats do not feel the need for alt accounts or shadow play
Rather do it in the light out in public
Are the Democrats and Republicans in the room with you now?
Yes, I am former President Bill Clinton on my burner account and I approve of this courageous voyagers message!
Can you give some examples of a time when a Democrat president just flagrantly disregarded the law with absolutely no repercussions
Andrew Johnson with torpedoing reconstruction?
Just off the top. As for modern era politics, not really.
