Is There A Nobel Prize For Emasculating A Nation?

I mean, really, what kind of a wimp needs a AUMF to fight the JV team?

President Obama’s request that Congress authorize military action against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was met with skepticism from both parties on Wednesday, raising questions about Capitol Hill’s ability to pass a war measure.

The divide is largely centered on language prohibiting the use of “enduring offensive ground combat operations” against ISIS.

Democrats say this does too little to limit the White House from committing ground troops to the fight, while Republicans say the restrictions could handcuff the military.

How those views can possibly be reconciled isn’t clear, even with Obama using his bully pulpit to call on Washington to unify against what he said was a “barbaric” terrorist network.

Just pathetic.

    Yes, there is a Nobel Prize for emasculating a nation. Obama received it several years ago.

    So we don’t know how. Many troops placed where, for how long or what they’re supposed to do when and if they get there. Boy, that Obama’s one scary guy to ISIS.

    They’re only ‘barbaric’ when he looks bad.

    It’s another bait and switch by Obumbler. Essentially he’ll do nada and in 2018, when it comes up for renewal, if there’s a GOP president the Dems can use denying renewal as a campaign issue.

    Obumbler has all the authorization he needs from the 2001 authorizatin. ISIS is an offshoot from al-Qauda, so even a narrow reading of the authorization ought to allow fighting it. And when did the Obumbler Administration start to pay any attention to the actual letter of any law, or construe laws narrowly if they wanted to do something not authorized by the law?

    Obumbler’s restrictions on military action written into the proposal mean nothing significant can be done, and that’s how he wants it.
