OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT:
George W. Bush launched 50 drone strikes. Obama has launched 500. (Bonnie Kristian, 9/11/15, The Week)
While Obama's predecessor George W. Bush conducted about 50 drone strikes, the current president has launched 10 times that number. Most American drone strikes have targeted Pakistan, though drone use has declined there in recent years while it continues in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen.
