Saw a debate on this yesterday. Some Repubs say it's not enough, some Dems say it's too much........but the point brought up that I found interesting was when the panel was asked: Why would Obama tie his own hands by limiting his options. Did not hear a good answer..........mostly stumbles over this one.
Now, I could be wrong, but in my opinion, he presented this specific request to Congress so that IF it all goes to Hades in a hand cart over there...........he can say, Well, I did all I could under the limitations placed on me by the Republican led Congress...........Keep in mind, this is just my opinion.

No one want to say out loud that he has no interest in fighting a war on Islam because that would imply the obvious answers as to why, and no one wants to be associated as being the first legitimate reporter or resident expert to vocalize those answers.
Yes, I have no doubt he is capable of conveniently forgetting who originated the war powers document he sent over to the Hill.

So before granting new war powers and unlimited military spending, one might ask what did thousands of dead Americans, tens of thousands of dead civilians, and trillions of dollars get us so far?

I guess you don't know who Robert Hennelly, the article's author, is, huh? He says that U.S. greed and its military spending caused the Ebola outbreak in Africa, among other idiocies.
And apparently he doesn't understand that not confronting ISIS in it's own front yard is tantamount to ceding the Mideast and southern Europe to them. Hope you can both live with that. The rest of us, however, believe it is necessary to take the fight to them.
Interesting, given that our new SecDef has apparently kicked his boss in the butt and knocked some sense into him.
Then again, we'll wait and see on that one. He's claimed "willingness to negotiate" on past occasions, but usually that means he'll negotiate until Congress comes around to his way of thinking.

US policy and greed through arms sales has created the whole mess in the middle east, even creating and supporting the Taliban.
Afghanistan, the CIA, bin Laden, and the Taliban
Those who want to live by the sword, shall also perish by he sword.

"The International Socialist Review"?? Really??
What, you couldn't find a more blatantly biased and slanted viewpoint than that one? You should have looked at the Communist Daily Worker. I'll be it has one more erroneous and outlandish. Still, they'd have to go some to reach the point this article does.

Let the war on ideologies begin.....didn't take long to pass new laws did it?
Austrian reform singles out Muslims for harsh new requirements
They are going to "Austrianize" Islam.....quote from article "Analysts say the law, which the parliament passed overwhelmingly, is an attempt to “Austrianize” Islam and bring more official oversight of the faith at a time when fears of radicalization are rife in Europe."

Obama's war-powers farce: If you want to limit presidential power, don't start illegal wars
Quote from article "In other words, in today's political climate, Obama is basically asking for the authority to start war against anyone who's watched an Islamic State video. Indeed, the main axis of debate is whether the proposed authority is broad enough. Except for Sen. Rand Paul, Republicans are basically fine with Obama being able to make war wherever he wants."
