Obama has
totally messed up Iraq and Afghanistan. How much more of a mess can he make out
of the Islamic State?

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.
Almost
six months after the president began using force against the Islamic State
advance in Iraq and then in Syria, the White House is ready to ask Congress for
formal permission to continue the effort. Until now, the administration has
maintained it has enough authority to wage war through the 2001 AUMF on
al-Qaeda, the 2002 AUMF regarding Iraq and Article II of the Constitution. But
under pressure from Capitol Hill, the White House has now completed the text of
a new authorization and could send it to lawmakers as early as Wednesday.
If
enacted, the president’s AUMF could effectively constrain the next president
from waging a ground war against the Islamic State group until at least 2018.
Aides warned that the White House may tweak the final details before releasing
the document publicly.
In
advance of the release, top White House and State Department officials have
been briefing lawmakers and Congressional staffers about their proposed
legislation. Two senior Congressional aides relayed the details to me.
