Obama's War Authorization Limits Ground Forces
Feb 10, 2015 1:45 PM EST


President Barack Obama will soon give Congress his proposal for a new authorization for the use of military force against Islamic State fighters, and it will place strict limits on the types of U.S. ground forces that can be deployed, according to congressional sources.

FWIW, instead of an AUMF, Congress ought to go the constitutional route and declare war on ISIS/ISIL/IS and its' allies, w/no limits whatsoever....
 
Keep up the drone attacks and nothing else until we get a competent leader in the White House. Our military trusts the dear leader about as far as I could throw air force one.
 
It will be interesting to see what a republican Congress does about this request! :)

If they don't it will then show the people that a republican Congress is against wars... :)
