Did Obama order the strike?
He's the president. All military activities are dictated by their direction.
Not every operation is directed by the president. He was the president. He tried to close Gitmo, but congress blocked him.
These drone strikes were part of his expansion of drone warfare in Iraq, Afghanistan, and it expanded into several other countries. Congress didn't pass a bill to stop him from being less of a war criminal.
That's some serious "good tsar bad boyars" energy there
Do you already think you know the answer?
No, and I do not think he deserved the peace prize.
