We do have an obligation to stop interfering in the affairs of those countries, to stop putting our troops unnecessarily in harms way and killing non combatants.
You're confusing excuses with explanation. Obama isn't a dictator who can do what he wants as there are still quite a few war hawks in congress that want escalated military action in response to Iran, Isis, Libya, and Russian.

You talk like you aren't aware of our political process.

You must be joking.
Obama launches 2,800 strikes on Iraq, Syria without congressional approval - Washington Times
Maybe you should advise Obama of the "political process" ?
And yes you are still offering up bs for excuses.

Yes it does....read it.

Unnamed U.S. military officials told WSJ that “while surveillance flights would be the primary mission for the new effort at first, drones launched from the proposed base also could be used in future airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Libya..

Sigh... Context is helpful, sorry for thinking you had a grasp on the entire picture. We had to take action against Isis advancements and because Obama wanted to do something, republicans obstructed it. Take away is if Obama wants to do something, republicans want to do the opposite. And then you act surprised....

Like with the Iran deal... Republicans predictably zigged when Obama zagged.

Well anything "could" be used for airstrikes. Just because a Destroyer is parked in the waters near some place doesn't mean they will be launching missiles at anything, but they "could."

So again with feeling, prove it....
