No, and it would be perfectly obvious to a blind man Clinton didn't have enough time left in office to conduct a full investigation. But you knew that, right? You'd rather pick cherries

And just to make it perfectly clear to your apparently limited vision, Yemen is a far more worthy target of American anti-terror strikes than Iraq ever was.

That would require far more conviction, cojones, and innocence from similar alleged crimes than the GOP possesses.

What does being blind have to do with cognitive ability? I may be working in R&D with a blind guy soon. Why would you insult him like that?

Clinton didn't have enough time left in office to conduct a full investigation.

No sale on that one, unless you're indicating that Monica was really that "talented"?

And just to make it perfectly clear to your apparently limited vision, Yemen is a far more worthy target of American anti-terror strikes than Iraq ever was because Obama told me so.

Fix'd for clarification.

Thanks for the acknowledgement. I still don't understand why the responses are so predictable though.

What needs to happen is the war powers act needs to be updated. It needs to include undeclared wars, military assistance and support roles that lead to loss of life. Its not just Obama every president given the chance would make decisions unilaterally. The problem needs to be fixed at the root not the surface.

None of this "it isn't war unless boots are on the ground" cr*p either!

We the taxpayers are stuck funding this dictator Obama's actions.

Deflection and the race card are the only tools the Obamabots have left. They certainly cannot defend Obama's warmongering policies. Obama's bombed more nations than Clinton and Bush combined.

I noticed nothing from the OP but snarky remarks.

Name one war Bush started:

Iraq (based on bad or made up intell)
Afghanistan (which was neglected because of the above)

See the difference?

Probably not.

You mean a declared war? You're right, I can't name a declared war Obama has started.

I would rather have drones attacking al Queida than American men being on the ground to be slaughtered. Having said that, the lack of outrage from Obots is striking, considering the outrage they expressed during the Bush years, specfically over the use of drones, targeted assasinations, indefinite detainment, etc.

Do progressives have any values they stick to, or is it all mallable in the service of gaining political power?

By that silly definition, no President since FDR has started a war.
