Top Republican: Obama request for Islamic State fight lacks US House backing
[Ynet] US President Barack ObamaI mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... 's request for congressional authorization of military force to fight the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... does not have enough support to pass the US House of Representatives, the chamber's second-ranking Republican said Monday. "I do not see a path to 218 (a majority of House votes) with what the president sent up," said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... , adding the plan "would weaken our ability to respond to the current situation."
