• In -The -Know Consensus: the threat from Muslim fanatics is growing and Obama admin does not have an effective srategy to deal with it

AUMF – Authorization to Use Military Force was requested:

Vague and non-specific language:

• THREE-YEAR limit?
• All necessary and appropriate steps to defeat the enemy?
• Would impose ban on enduring ground combat operations?
• Would not impose geographic restrictions?
• Democrats worry that it gives the president too much discretion to use ground troops to fight an open-ended war.
• Republicans have the opposite concern, believing that proposal’s ban on “enduring offensive ground operations” is too restrictive.
• Some believe that a new AUMF is not necessary …operations against terror are authorized by the 2002 AUMF

Obama “Mispeaks,” or Gaffes?

• ISIS is a media phenomenon because they over-hype
• Compare his responsibility to a big city mayor trying to stop crime?!
• ISIS is not Islamic??
• Comparing ISIS to Christians
• Yemen embassy closed (National Prayer Breakfast)
• Global warming greater threat than terrorism
