It seems to me he’s using ISIS as a means of expanding his authority in other areas.....since ISIS is all over the ME, not to mention those going into the fight from Europe ad other countries, ...just how far can he “militarily” go if he choses to do so??

I’d like to know the answer to your question too. Like you say ISIS is not a (officially/formally) recognized “nation/state” as far as i know.

When I said Obama cannot and will not identify the enemy, I wasn’t talking about “country by country”.

Our enemy in this case is Islam. Eff Obama when he says America is not at war with Islam.

Everybody the whole world over - including muslims - know that Islam is our enemy. But Obama has his head buried so far up his own smelly Obama, he will not admit that.

I would suspect he is going to ask that we be allowed to send a platoon of unarmed, retired, postal workers over there. That is as much harm as he would want to do his fellow muslim brothers.

Cruz weighs in....

“I hope it will force this administration to clearly articulate their objectives and their specific plan to accomplish that objective,” he said. “That the process of going to Congress and seeking authorization leads to the natural question:.... authorization to do what? What do you intend to do and how do you intend to do it?”

"I have directed a comprehensive and sustained strategy to degrade and defeat ISIL,"

I wish this guy would cite details for once but I know that will never be the case since he never does

NO!!!

If we are not going to go all in to find and kill these bastards with anything and everything at our disposal and at any time or any place this is a sure loser for us. Otherwise, the Bamster will just bleed us dry, kill our best, demoralize the rest of us of us, import millions of more Muzzies for free welfare and voters - and then pull out and surrender, just like he did in Iraq and is doing in Afgahnistan.

I don't trust a thing O'Bastard wants to do. Nothing. Any thing he and his traitorous crew are proposing is poison because they are poison.

I wouldn’t want to see us go at with Russia no matter who is running the show. I’m not saying we’d lose, but the cost would be tremendous. Now, I do agree the current resident of the white hut isn’t who I’d want running the show in a war with ANYONE....

Not one more American soldier should go into harm’s way unless our objective is to defeat and destroy ISIS. There is no middle ground.

If Obama does not have the stomach to wage war against these savages, he should keep his mouth shut and stop pretending he is a Leader.

If the REAL solution is eliminating Islam from the Earth, how do we even start to do that? The Islamic has about 1.7 BILLION people!

I would think that as Obama has a track record to this point of doing any damned thing he wants while flippin’ the wee birdie to Congress that he’s up to something. Alarm bells are going off.

I think the b-stard is making a move to setup the Republican controlled Congress to either be complicit in his idiocy, or to blame for his failure down the road.

We don’t fight real wars, we fight pretend ones while we do business with the enemy countries.

It happened with Communism and now with terrorism and both political parties have done it.

Its been the US policy since WW 2.

The islamist enemy wants to engage the islamist enemy.

Why aren’t I laughing?

And our inillustrious Congress says this debate may go on for months?

We are so screwed.
