War

Obama is lying about the war resolution he's requested from Congress.

""It is not the authorization of another ground war like Afghanistan or Iraq," Obama said. "As I've said before, I'm convinced that the United States should not get dragged back into another prolonged ground war in the Middle East. That's not in our national security interest, and it's not necessary for us to defeat ISIL.""

Then he doesn't need a new resolution.

Ron Paul calls it a blank check for worldwide war.

"Interestingly it actually expands the ability of the president to wage war although the president publicly indicates he would like to restrain it. The new authorization explicitly does not impose geographic limits on the use of troops anywhere in the world and expands the definition of ISIS to that of all “associated forces.” A grant of this authority will do nothing to limit our dangerous involvement in these constant Middle East wars."

Exactly.

I like this description:

"On Wednesday, President Obama finally noticed the United States had been bombing the Islamic State (ISIS) and figured he should ask Congress to give permission for that which had already begun."

No kidding.
