Administration reviewing ways to make it easier to launch strikes The CIA have been doing drone strikes for over a decade. They don't even have to report the results to POTUS. In other words, there is NOTHING NEW reported here, except the implication that somehow Trump is being bad. More FAKE NEWS from the WSJ. |

Administration reviewing ways to make it easier to launch strikes Trump administration reviewing ways to make it easier to launch drone strike In his final months in office, President Obama sought to lock in a structure and set of rules governing targeted killings and drone strikes so that the incredibly lethal tool would not be abused by his successors. In his first six weeks in office President Trump, who has made destroying the Islamic State his top foreign policy priority, has pressed to roll back those checks. The Trump administration is close to finishing a review that would make it easier for the Pentagon to launch counterterrorism strikes anywhere in the world by lowering the threshold on acceptable civilian casualties and scaling back other constraints imposed by the Obama administration, senior U.S. officials said.
