These are the same Republicans who said it isn't torture until it results in organ failure or death.

Interesting doing some research. Obama (Libya) and Clinton (Kosovo) did this similar side step with the same response. Kosovo and Libya had the military much more exposed than today.
"that argument says they could shoot an ICBM nuclear missile into Venezuela and that wouldn't be hostilities"
I didn't find any one making that claim for Clinton or Obama; For sure Obama would have benefited from this policy, as the US lost a F-15 in Libya due to malfunction;
But I did find this ...
President Bill Clinton didn't bother to get prior legislative permission for his Kosovo war and sidestepped the War Powers Resolution thereafter. And Mr. Obama hasn't lifted a finger in the last two months to get Congress's consent for his Libyan operation.
When Mr. Obama first announced the Libyan intervention along with our NATO allies, he claimed constitutional authority as chief executive and commander in chief and said he was acting "consistent with" the War Powers Resolution. Congress has shown no interest in authorizing our limited military operations, nor has it provided any funding. At this point, if the president were to seek approval, Congress would likely refuse.

The administrations argued that the WPA's 60-day limit was not triggered because the mission constituted "kinetic military action" rather than full-scale "hostilities" involving a significant risk of U.S. casualties or ground troops.
I suppose it's bad when Trump does it but not when Obama and Clinton do it? Seems that is what the "brain trust" of TruthLies & Snoofy claim?
Do you guys research anything? I mean seriously this wasn't hard to find.
