Obama administration asks for expansive war against Islamic State - Washington Times

Secretary of State John F. Kerry told Congress Tuesday that President Obama wants expansive war powers to pursue the Islamic State terrorists wherever and however he deems necessary, stunning lawmakers by requesting a war authorization that would even allow the Pentagon to commit American combat troops to the fight.

Though Mr. Obama doesn’t want combat troops, he won’t have Congress tie his hands against unforeseen directions the war could take should the Islamic State evolve, expand its fight to other countries or prove more difficult to rout, Mr. Kerry said.

Here is Kerry's justification that can be heard in the video: On Tuesday, Mr. Kerry made clear the administration considers the Islamic State, which has captured large swaths of Syria and Iraq, to be a branch of al Qaeda operating under a different name. He said that means Mr. Obama already has powers to go after them under the 2001 and 2002 AUMFs, so even if Congress doesn’t act, the president will continue to pursue the war.

So everyone is now al Qaeda....
 
Come on now, You know obama's wars are just different so his cult followers don't have a problem with it.
 
What the administration is saying through their court jester is that Muslims are at war with the west. Only the court jester can't bring himself to say as much. No they mince words and mix in BS.
