Dementia Biden Addresses U.N. as Questions Surround U.S. Leadership

Wrong again, he chose to run, he wasn’t “put into” the position…

And he and Trump are of like age and yet we’ve got Trumpers who are hoping and praying, in some cases predicting, that Trump will be back in 4 years……:roll_eyes:

Now that’s rich. Presumable you couldn’t even listen to Trump then……

You get to bitch about him for another 40 months….:blush:

I hear Kyle rittenhouse is a free man visiting DC hehe

Nope, he’s been a politician most of his adult life, public service suits him and he has sought the high office more than once as you’re surely aware. Neither manipulated nor put upon….

Completely clueless as always.

> I stand here today, for the first time in 20 years, the United States is not at war. We’ve turned the page. All the unmatched strength, energy, and commitment, will and resources of our nation, are now fully and squarely focused on what’s ahead of us, not what was behind.

That is just simply not true. As commander in chief, Biden is still operating under the authority of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which, on paper, grants the president only authority to bring the military to bear against those responsible for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, but in reality has been used by multiple U.S. presidents to authorize very broad military interventions throughout the world.

Furthermore, the 2002 AUMF, which directly authorized the military invasion of Iraq, is still in force. The House voted in June to repeal the 2002 AUMF, but that repeal hasn’t passed the Senate yet. We still have thousands of troops in Iraq and are currently planning to keep them there indefinitely. The plan is that these troops will serve as logistics and advisory help for Iraq’s government, but they will most definitely still be involved in fights against the Islamic State.

We may have pulled troops out of Somalia, but we’re still performing airstrikes there against Al Qaida affiliate al-Shabab. In June, the Pentagon announced that it is considering putting troops right back in there.

And none of that gets into the countless—well, not countless, but the numbers are deliberately concealed from the American public—drone strikes in places like Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan, and Libya. We don’t really have data on drone use under the Biden administration yet, save the disastrous one from late August in Kabul that killed 10 civilians, including 7 children.
