Oh, of course.  Anything that truthfully reports on the dangerously incompetent idiot you helped put in charge of the military and the country is "fake news." 
And  you know Obama would've given "the green light" how? Obama might have, but the fact that he specifically declined to preauthorize it, thus allowing the military to decide on the best time to strike, argues otherwise.  Instead, Obama left the decision up to Trump, who effed it up then refused to take responsibility. Trump is a coward, but you're clearly okay with that.
