I have been calling for a debate on the use of military force - TopicsExpress



          

I have been calling for a debate on the use of military force against ISIL for six months. I am encouraged to see that President Obama will call for Congressional authorization in his State of the Union address this evening. Whether or not Congress will honor the President’s request for an AUMF is now up to us. As Members of Congress, we must carefully weigh the perils of deploying U.S. military personnel for a third time in a decade. And once the relevant committees present specific and prudent language for us to debate, it is the responsibility of Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader McConnell to bring an AUMF resolution to the floor for a rigorous debate and a vote. That is what America’s sons and daughters who will be put in harm’s way in Iraq and Syria deserve. 1.usa.gov/1KZd1Bs
