CNN’s Zakaria: Obama Was Comfortable Using Drones, Bombs, and Special Forces
‘Obama dropped more — did more drone strikes, I think, in his, you know, first two years than George Bush had done in all eight years of his presidency’
EXCERPT:
LEMON: “I want to ask you, Fareed, because Senator Lindsey Graham has been critical of this administration, he said, 'I hope America’s adversaries are watching and now understand there’s a new sheriff in town.' Is he right?”
ZAKARIA: “Not really. Again, we’ve been doing this for a while. In fact, President Obama dropped more — did more drone strikes, I think, in his, you know, first two years than George Bush had done in all eight years of his presidency. Obama has actually been very comfortable using drones, using bombs, using special forces. I think the real challenge is not the military. The United States has never lost or gone astray in these engagements because it has lacked military power, firepower."
