GOP TALKING POINT: Obama administration killed two al Qaeda leaders and a brutal Libyan dictator (Muammar al-Gaddafi) without a greenlight from Congress
The U.S. military wasn’t responsible for killing Muammar Gaddafi, a Libyan dictator who was ousted after four decades in power. Opposition fighters in Misrata were the ones who captured, tortured and murdered Gaddafi in 2011, according to a report by Human Rights Watch. www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/reports/libya1012webwcover_0.pdf His capture and the moments leading to his death were filmed and circulated widely online.
Osama bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist group al Qaeda, and Anwar al-Awlaki, an al Qaeda operative born in the U.S., were legally sanctioned. Congress voted to authorize a war against al Qaeda with the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in 2001 after bin Laden claimed responsibility for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S.
