SEAN HANNITY (HOST): A spectacular military operation. And, you know -- it's not the first time -- I don't really want to get into the whole issue of the War Powers Act and the stupidity of it all, but I can go through the list -- you know, Barack Obama, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, George W. Bush, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bill Clinton, Iraq, Serbia, Sudan. The aspirin factory that was, you know, basically a desert.
George HW Bush, Iraq and Panama, Reagan, Libya, Grenada, Jimmy Carter, nothing significant. Gerald Ford, nothing significant. But you get into these arguments and it just legally on -- just on the wrong ground.
And, of course, predictably, the left in this country, that was some Democrats, AOC leading the lunatics. You know? "Oh, we've got to impeach him over this." What they failed to recognize is that after 9/11, Congress passed a joint resolution that was known as the Authorization of the Use of Military Force Act. There's a great piece by Gregg Jarrett on that, we'll put it on Hannity.com. It granted the president exclusive extraordinary powers to target those groups, those nations that he determines aided the terrorist attacks or in the case of 9/11, harbored the perpetrators of 9/11.
